ABSTRACT:
A board game involving the criminal judicial process. The equipment includes a supply of "people cards" each exhibiting a person having individual socio-economic characteristics. From this supply each player selects one card at random to establish his "identity" for the course of the game. A game board is provided with a branching and recombining path providing for analogies to such events as posting
ot posting bond, public or private attorney, etc. A first card and a chance device combine to establish the "Alleged Crime" of each player and a second card and said chance device to select the type of Defense Attorney. At the "jury selection" spaces on the board, a jury of nine is selected by choice from a group of 15 randomly chosen people cards. The characteristics of the jury are numerically weighted to provide a realistic simulation of jury selection as related to the accused and the Alleged Crime. The player may gain or lose advantage points during his movement along the path on the game board between arraignment and verdict, which are computed to establish the verdict of guilty or not guilty.
