Jury Duty - Card Game for People Guilty of Wanting Jury Duty....

This jury duty card game is really fun. The more people you have playing the better. It has made a great addition to our game nights.

Not too hard to learn the rules and get going. Fun and a good conversation starter!

Fun game, good for multiplayer game nights. The instructions were a little hard to understand but once we figured them out through gameplay it was a super fun game to play! Unfortunately it's for 4+ players so if you have less than that it doesn't work. We did try to play with less people but the nature of the game doesn't work. It's a fun game but you need to have the proper amount of people to play otherwise it was a good buy.

I got this game because my friends and I all really want to be on a jury but have never been picked for jury duty. I thought it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. It reminds me of the game "one night werewolf" in that you are trying to decipher who has what card. That being said, this game is totally open ended without any real assistance from the game/ rules, so it really relies more on the company you have with you playing the game. If you have a less creative bunch, this game will not work. I think there are games out there that have too much structure to be fun, and I think this specific game has too little structure to be fun. I wouldn't recommend it.

The product description could use a better explanation of what the game is. Currently it shows some cards and talks about Jury Duty, but it really does not tell you what the game is. The instructions provided are not the best and feels obvious it was written by someone where English is a second language as it is difficult to follow. I'll do my best to share my understanding of the instructions. The game requires at least 4 players, 1 person will be the accused, and everyone else will be the Prosecutor/Jury. The goal is to match each person to the crime card they chose. I'm writing my review based upon a game of 4 players. 1. To set-up the game, everyone pulls a "crime" card - something they've done in the past. They keep this card a secret, and when everyone has selected their card, everyone places it in a pile face down. Shuffle the cards chosen by the players and then reveal the 4 cards (from 4 players). The "crime" cards are a bit simple and I think depending on culture may make things difficult to find the guilty party. Card examples: Listening to the Radio, Owns a pet, Drives a vehicle, has eaten a cookie, lied. I think if you were to get this game, you'll need to spend time finding "crimes" to throwaway as there are some decent ones in there that may be hard to find the accuser, but can end up being turning into a funny conversation, such as: Takes long showers, Sings song lyrics wrong, or did not get someone a Christmas gift. 2. The first person that chose a card then gets to be the first to accuse someone of a crime. So they will look at the revealed cards, pick one, and then accuse another player of doing that crime. 3. This step is unclear, but it states that during the trail, the players discuss the crime in relation to the accused and the accused defends themselves as to why they are innocent. It is unclear on whether it is only the accuser supporting their accusation (Traditional Prosecutor vs Defendant scenario), or whether everyone can gang up on the accused with their rationale for why they agree the defendant committed the crime. It is unclear how this piece works with some of the cards, like lying...Everyone lies, how do you defend that you have not committed that crime or the goal - how to convince people that you did not choose that card - so this goes to my suggestion to clean up the cards available to make the game easier. 4. Once everyone is done discussing, then the jury votes. If everyone agrees the accused did the crime, then the accused gets the card. If everyone does NOT agree, then the card remains in the pile, and the next person makes their accusation to someone. This gets repeated until everyone has a card. Then everyone reveals if they were correctly found guilty. If one person was found guilty with their crime, then that person loses, and everyone else wins. If no one was found guilty with their card, then the 4 cards get put back into the pile, and everyone tries again. It also adds a couple different versions of the game depending for the challenge such as adding a random crime card to the pile (5 cards instead of 4). They also suggested another version which does not make sense - Each player pulls four crime cards they did in the past and then randomly chooses one. I assume it is suggesting each player puts 4 cards in the pile (total of 16), but only 1 of the 4 cards is their true "crime". --this seems susceptible to cheating unless everyone has to write down or take a picture of the crime to prevent someone changing their mind during the game. Overall, the game has the potential to be an ice breaker. This also may be an interesting game for any High Schools with a Pre-law class or even a Social Studies class that may want to create an interactive game on going to court. In my opinion, the two things that seem to hinder this game is that the crimes aren't that big of a deal, and we've all probably done one of them in our lives unless you lived a sheltered life. I think this would be better executed if the game was created by cards against humanity team. The second, is the price. In my opinion, the price should be closer to $12.
