Lawyer Up: Season 2

Manufacturer: Rock Manor Games

Lawyer Up is an asymmetrical two-player courtroom drama card game where one player is the noble prosecution and the other the steadfast defense.

Each game begins with Discovery, where players draft vital evidence to support their case and bury evidence that might help their opponent. Next comes the Trial, where players call witnesses and play powerful arguments along with the evidence they drafted into their examination pools. To form a coherent line of questioning, players will need to chain together their cards by matching bias symbols.

The player who can best examine the Witness by generating the most influence will spend the difference to sway the Jury to their side. Every game is different, but the lawyer with the best case and most convincing arguments will be sure to get the verdict they are after!

Includes three replayable cases and a robust solo mode:

• Private Eye
  Never let anyone talk you into doing the right thing free of charge. It's only bound to get you into more trouble than it's worth. Take the case of one Monique Monroe. Poor girl came into my office just as I was closing up, scared half to death. A few days go by, and my secretary finds Monique's body in the alley behind our office. I paid even more dearly when the cops showed up in the morning, tossed my office, and hauled me downtown. The charge? Murder in the First Degree.

• Casino Heist
  The Majestic Casino has been robbed through an elaborate heist! In Sin City, there's no shortage of swindlers, thieves, and schemers, but who exactly is behind taking the Majestic Casino for all it's worth? The usual suspects and criminals were rounded up easily enough, but proving their guilt conclusively will be difficult. The defendants seem overly confident within the court. Is it just a facade as their scheme crumbles down around them? Or do they have one last trick up their sleeves?

• Divorce
  The lifestyles of the rich and famous; Americans are obsessed with them. So when Adrian Mackenzie, a beloved 90s sitcom actress, and Sam Howard, a successful tech CEO, got marred, America took notice. But with fame comes a loss of privacy and the last few years have been filled with gossip, rumors, and scandal. Adrian's hit TV show is filled with gossip of affairs with costars, while Same's social media company has come under fire for growing concerns about privacy. It all culminated with the couple's announcement that they would be getting divorced. That has only increased the public's appetite for scandal about Atlanta's most famous family.

• Solo Mode
