Watch “Mr. Lovenstein Presents No Context Review, our thoughts on this party game about making connections,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:

In this podcast segment, we take a look at the party board game No Context, which features panels from the Mr. Lovenstein webcomic. Mr. Lovenstein Presents No Context is a light board game about trying to make connections without a lot of information. The fun of this game comes from the interactions between the players as they attempt to justify their choices. This review is one segment of episode 209 of The Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, The Rhythm of Gaming, watch it here: https://youtu.be/Iq4dubNo8ZM Be sure to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/tabletopbellhop?sub_confirmation=1 and consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/tabletopbellhop.

Westover, friend of Skybound, and prolific webcomic auteur aka MR LOVENSTEIN! 2-6 players race to guess their opponents’ secret panel from a lineup, while trying to get at least one other player to guess their own using only absurd 2- sided comics panels as clues. Think of this game as Joking Hazard meets Dixit. You’re going to be having serious conversations about how “thicc squirrel” was supposed to lead you to “Giraffe with a Gun” not “King Raccoon.” ******************** Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including game and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com I invite you to also check out our written review and see additional pictures of the game being played. https://tabletopbellhop.com/game-reviews/no-context/ Pick up a copy of No Context (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3WSjicB ******************** Sign up for our newsletter: https://newsletter.tabletopbellhop.com Find us all over the web: Dice.camp: https://dice.camp/@TabletopBellhop/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tabletopbellhop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Discord: https://discord.tabletopbellhop.com

About Mr. Lovenstein Presents: No Context, from BoardGameGeek:

In No Context, you'll be making connections using random art from the fabulous webcomic creator Mr. Lovenstein! At the start of the game, each player will be assigned one of up to 7 target images that they are trying to get everyone else to guess to secure some sweet, SWEET points! These images are selected from some of the most unforgettable panels of Mr. Lovenstein's catalog. On their turn, players will select another panel from those available in the comparison row and place it in one of their section of the board's spaces. They will place the card with the green check mark side face up to indicate their target image is like this card in some way, or with the red x side up saying that their target image is unlike this card in some way. Each player will be able to do this process 3 times to give some guidance to the other players for guessing. However, at any point if a player feels confident they know what target image card belongs to another player, they may place their corresponding numbered bet card face down in that players bet spot. Players only have one copy for each space so make sure to bide your time or know the risks if you go sooner. Once all bets are in, players will take turns revealing the guesses made about their card and what card was actually theirs. Correct bets get points in the order they were placed so those who wait too long may miss out on points even if they were correct. Be ready to explain yourself after the round is done as hearing the thoughts behind why your friends made the connections they did is the funniest part of the game! -description from developer
