Aces, kinda attorneys
A downloadable Cross-examinationTTRPG
This is a tabletop game that takes place in a trial. Each player will have a role to decide the fate of the Defendant!
It heavily relies on the cross-examination phase of the trial, as each role will do their best to win and (if possible !) reach the Truth!
The game features an asymetric gameplay, meaning each role have different rules, mechanics and objectives during trial.
4 roles exists in Aces kinda Attorneys : Defense, Prosecution, Witnesses and Judge.
The Defense and Prosecution will have to bluff their way out, by using Objection cards, six-sided dice and one of their Three Attributes : LOGIC, HUMOR or TALENT.
As the core of the game is cross examinations, Witnesses will strategically use their Testimony cards and all type of dice to prove they have nothing to do with this case.
Hopefully, the Judge will place Judge cards, and their personality will make the Truth come out. They will choose during cross-examinations which one of the Three Attributes is reliable...
And fear not, we're talking about Aces! Each character have powers that will be used to bring comebacks and turnabouts during your trials.
As the game have 4 roles, rules are detailled for 2, 3, 4 and 4+ players configuration in this early-access version.
Early access? Yes, the game will have a few tweaks and balancing choices in the upcoming months, and for the first months of 2025 the game will have an Itchfunding (a less formal crowdfunding) to plan the full release with:
- More characters and powers
