the game is a good concept, but that's all it feels like, a proof of concept. there are only a few cases and they aren't very complicated issues. the AI is also laughably easy and there is no way to turn up the difficulty or play online against other players to make it harder. it's fun while it lasts (about 30 min), but it needs ALOT more content to feel like an actual fleshed out game or pose a real challange to any player.

It has a beautiful layout and is incredibly simple to use. It's very smooth as well, and it shows and explains the actual United States Supreme Court rulings in a very easy-to-understand way. For that I give five stars. However, there are few cases to choose from, and not all of them are landmark cases that govern our day-to-day lives. For that, I knock off one star. 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The concept is really good. Choosing a side in the beginning, choosing an appropriate argument, drawing cards for supporting your argument, matching phrases to explain the point better, being able to choose whether you object or pass, and also experiencing different cases covering different laws. Easy to understand game. You can play offline with no ads. Completely free. Educational. Good while it lasts, but I'd definitely like to play games like this longer.
