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 outnumber the opposing Attorney's Jury, which they do by playing Evidence and Actions.
Evidence cards reduce the targeting card's Jury by their corner value. If they leave play, their penalty is eliminated.
Actions may dock Jury points off their user and off their targets. Mark this loss with counters on the targeted cards.
When the combined Evidence values and Jury-loss counters are equal or greater to the Attorney's Jury plus the Defendant's bonus, that Attorney loses the game.
Example: With Phoenix Wright as the Defense, Winston Payne as the Prosecution and Frank Sahwit as the Defendant, the Defense has to lose 11 Jury points before they'll lose, and the Prosecution has to lose 10 Jury Points before they'll lose.
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
Card List
Action: Remove a Thing or Person in any discard pile from play. This gains the abilities of that card and loses this ability.
Locked: Electric
Action (-2): Search your opponent's deck for a Person card and put it in their discard pile.
If this is the Defendant and you're the Prosecution, before play starts, you may put the Defense's Aide in the discard pile. The Defense may search their deck for another Aide and play it.
Whenever an Action is played against this card, flip a coin. On heads, destroy the Action with no effect.
Locked: Love, Chemical, Valuable
When this is Unlocked, destroy it at the end of the turn.
If you have this on your deck, instead of drawing a card, you may search for this and put it on your hand.
"Is it not true that the victim had recently dumped you?"
"You went to the victim's apartment on the day of the murder, did you not?"
"So, you didn't touch ANYTHING in the apartment?"
"The prosecution has said there was a blackout at the time of the discovery!"
"The sound must have left quite an impression on you. Understandable, since the murder weapon spoke just as you hit the victim!"
"The victim is the only person who absolutely could NOT have written it! She died immediately!"
"You were tapping the victim's phone, were you not?"
"There's no way you could have recognized the broken shards as a glass light stand!"
