How to unlock the No Contest achievement in Talisman: Digital Edition - Definitive Guide
Within 4-5 rounds you can win a game by controlling the opponent and having it suicide bomb into the Sentinel. Took me about 5 minutes. Here's how:
Start a local two-player game (base game only), set the House Rule "No Respawn" to checked, and set your opponent to Local Player as either Ghoul, Priest, Prophetess, Sorceress, or Wizard*. (*These characters spawn closest to the Sentinel and have the lowest Strength.) You can choose whatever character you feel most confident in for yourself, though it doesn't really matter.
Play the game as you would normally, only whenever it's the opponents turn, have them immediately charge onto some space into the desert (the next inner ring) through the Sentinel's entrance on the bottom left of the board. They'll be stopped by the Sentinel, who's swole af (has much more strength). Start combat and select Auto-Lose and your opponent will lose a life. Do this on their turn until they've run out of lives. As long as your character survives for 4 or 5 rounds, you win the game.
If your character resists re-rolling and using fate and you'll also be awarded
If your character doesn't lose any life during those turns, you'll also be awarded

The easiest way to get this achievement is running two player game in Local Co-op mode and get one of the characters killed in the first 10 turns, for example, fighting with the Sentinel, trying to break through to the middle region
This can be done locally by a single person playing a 2-human-player game.
The player getting the achievement plays the Assassin, and the other player chooses a low-strength character (I chose the Wizard).
Essentially, the wizard plays to lose lives, and the Assassin plays to land on and assassinate the other player as much as possible. The wizard should try to land on the assassin and attack to lose, visit the chapel, attack the sentinel, etc. to try and lose lives quickly.
As long as the wizard dies by any means before the end of the 10th round, the achievement should pop. I happened to get this concurrently with the immortal achievement for winning without losing a life.

I would also add to make sure No Respawn is checked under the rules. Took me a little bit to figure that out.

I was lucky to get it in a single player game, as the Warrior against the Priest (arguably the weakest character in the game). The Priest got two bad draws, and I took care of the rest myself.
