Get ready for the most absurd moral dilemma of your life! Trial by Trolley transforms the famous trolley problem philosophy experiment into a chaotic and hilarious party game. The premise is simple: there is a runaway trolley, and someone has to decide who gets crushed. In each round, one player takes on the role of the Trolley Operator (the judge), while the others split into teams fighting desperately for their lives.

The dynamic is all about manipulation and argumentation. Players use cards to build the tracks, placing people (or things) in the way. There are 'angelic' cards, which attempt to make your side look like the morally correct choice to be spared, and 'demonic' cards, used to sabotage the opposing track, making it an irresistible target for the murderous trolley. To spice things up, track modifiers add layers of absurdity to the situation.

The heart of the game isn't just in the cards, but in the persuasion. You'll have to convince the Operator that the death of your opponents is the only logical (or funniest) way out. The Operator ponders the bizarre scenario and decides which track will be destroyed. Those who survive win the round. Featuring the iconic art style of Cyanide & Happiness, the game is fast, cruel, and perfect for those who love dark humor and enjoy watching their friends try to save themselves through ridiculous arguments. It's less about complex strategy and more about who can be the most convincing — or the most sarcastic — person at the table.
