Turnabouts in the courtroom.
Special Rules
Each player picks one Attorney, plus one Attorney or Aide to start in play with. Those cannot be destroyed during play.
The Prosecution plays a Person as the Defendant.
Gameplay
The Defendant starts as the Witness, but may be replaced if either player plays another Person card - if this happens, send the former Witness to the discard pile. Players may play Actions and Evidence to improve their case.
When a Person becomes a Witness, they are 'Locked', which means some of their abilities and keywords may not be available. Certain abilities will Unlock a witness.
Jury Points
Each Attorney starts with a number of Jury points, noted in the corner of their cards. The Defendant's Jury points are counted as a bonus for both Attorneys. The objective of each player is to reduce the opposing Attorney's Jury to 0, which they do by playing Evidence and Actions.
Evidence and Actions may also be played to try to topple an Aide or the Witness:
- If an Aide loses all their Jury points, they are removed from play.
- If a Witness loses all their Jury points, they are considered Unlocked.
Evidence Chaining
You can play Evidence only if it shares a keyword with an Evidence item in play or with the current Witness (depending on Locked status).
Evidence keywords are:
Blood, Fire, Electric, Gun, Sharp, Blunt, Chemical, Valuable, Corporate, Movies, Mystical, Love, Police, Photo, Audio, Video, Document, Personal, Escape, Recipient, Secure
