About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your best argument ready, because the courtroom is about to open! In Tag! The Jurisdiction Game, you aren't just a player—you're a lawyer trying to win cases against your friends. The goal is simple but the execution is pure strategy: you need to build robust cases using Party, Claim, and Damages cards. But don't think it's just about suing! First, you must maneuver your pawn across the map to the correct state to ensure you have the proper jurisdiction. If you pick the wrong state or lack legal standing, prepare for embarrassment!

The real standout is how much you can complicate (or simplify) the fun. The gameplay is fully scalable! Want a quick and direct game? Choose just one legal requirement. Want a challenge worthy of a Law PhD? Add subject matter, personal, and venue requirements. The more rules you bring to the table, the more complex and intense the legal battle becomes. On top of that, there's a Gin Rummy-style mini-game focused on subject matter jurisdiction that will have you sweating to build increasingly elaborate cases. It's a mix of deck building, hand management, and a dash of dice chaos, all while trying not to get hit by an opponent's 'Dismissal' card. If you love games that blend strategy with a strong theme and rules that adapt to your group, Tag! is your next favorite case!
