About the game
Get ready to turn the tables in the world of Chronicles of Crime! In 'Courtroom Justice,' you're no longer the detective hunting for clues, but rather a defense attorney with a crucial mission: to defend your clients. For the first time in the series, the perspective shifts radically. The prosecution may have gathered their evidence and arrested the suspects, but do they really have the whole story? Your task, whether playing solo or as a team, is to dive deep into the case, investigate new leads, and unravel the mystery to prove innocence or, at the very least, sow doubt. But beware, the clock is ticking! Each game in the Chronicles of Crime line is a standalone experience, with its own unique rules, scenarios, and components. And, of course, technology remains your ally: an app is essential to guide the game scenarios and control the time, ensuring total and dynamic immersion in each trial. If you enjoy plot twists and thinking outside the box, this is your next case!

Does this game have replayability?

What is the complexity level of the game?
We don't have the official BGG weight yet, but the Chronicles of Crime series usually has a medium complexity. The basic rules are easy to pick up, but the deduction challenges and time management require strategic thinking and attention to detail.
