Today, we talk about No Context, a party game where players use single panel comic strips in order to get other players to guess which single panel comic strip they are trying to convey. It's not our favorite game, but if that sounds interesting to you, watch to see what you think!

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!
