Kontour

About this board game

Kontour is a drawing-and-guessing game for 3–7 players, in which players have only 30 seconds and 15 pencil strokes to make others guess a word or concept.

The challenge is simple to understand but tightly limited in execution. Each attempt gives the artist a word or concept to communicate, while the other players try to identify what is being shown.

With both time and strokes restricted, every mark matters. Players must work within the game’s distinctive drawing limits and find a way to convey the intended idea before the short timer runs out.

• Players: 3–7
• Time limit: 30 seconds
• Drawing limit: 15 pencil strokes
• Goal: Make others guess a word or concept

Kontour focuses on the connection between creating a drawing and interpreting one. The limited number of strokes gives each sketch a clear boundary, while the 30-second limit keeps the task concise and focused.

For anyone looking for a compact word-or-concept guessing experience built around pencil strokes and a strict time limit, Kontour offers a clearly defined central challenge. Released in 2018, it is designed for groups of 3–7 players.
