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!

What is the main difference of 'Courtroom Justice' compared to other Chronicles of Crime games?
The big twist is the role reversal! Instead of being a detective investigating, you take on the role of a defense attorney, seeking to prove your client's innocence or find flaws in the prosecution's case. It's a completely new perspective for the series!
Do I need to own other Chronicles of Crime games to play this one?
No, not at all! 'Chronicles of Crime: Courtroom Justice' is a standalone game. It comes with everything you need to play, including its own unique scenarios and components.
How many players can participate and what is the average game duration?
It can be played by 1 to 4 players, which is great for both solo players and group sessions. A game typically lasts between 90 and 120 minutes, so prepare for a good investigation time!
Is an app required to play?
Yes, using an app is essential! It delivers the scenarios, manages time, and interacts with clues and characters, ensuring the game's immersion and dynamics.
Does this game have replayability?
Like most scenario-based mystery and deduction games, the replayability of the same case is limited, as once you solve the mystery, the surprise factor diminishes. However, the series is known for releasing new scenarios and expansions, always offering new stories to explore.
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.
