New series of meetings

I'm running music game meetings in a new place, a community center.

Two meetings so far, had an occasion to play not only a selection of ever-greens from the library, but also a few published games.
There was Dixit (kind of an ever-green), but also some stuff I haven't used on a meeting before.

• Jazz: The Singing Card Game,
• Tempo,
• A Game About Wee Whimsical Creatures and Trying to Recognize Them after Someone Makes Noises,
• Tonic.

So far, so good. ;)

This time it was Danish Clapping, Dixit again, and Phrase Dealer. And for this group, actually only Dixit worked well.

Actually so far, the overall character of the attending group is very different each time, hard to prepare the program. Practically every time it was "scrap the plan and improvise" mode.

Hi ! Can you be more specific about what is Dixit ? I'd love to know what it is !

Sorry about that!

It should have been linked to this text: Musical Dixit ;)

The game is quite good and popular: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39856/dixit and generally the key component are nice drawings in abundance. The mod for music may be just straightforward ("do the same as rules, but without any words"), or a variant described above under the link on the wiki subsite.

It works surprisingly well in so many context I tried it so far: like with gamers at a convent, professional improvisers at a conference, or elderly non-musicians at the community meeting. Getting back to it pretty often and will use it further for sure. :)
