Commission: LegalGo Project

A few weeks back, we met these awesome people from LegalGo, they want to create a party game to increase people awareness about legal issues. When browsing for reference, it is quite shocking for me that it's actually hard to find a game which features actual legal aspect as theme. So, we were excited and a little scared to design it xD.

As per request, they asked for something I dreaded most, a party game! I love to design a game with depth mechanic in order to boost people experience and engagement to the theme, but I feel that party game must have easier mechanic but much better player interaction. I decided to try a new approach which secretly asked people to do things while collecting information at the same time. Basically trying to create the same experience of a heavy game in a party game.

In this game, player roles are people who stays behind the screen. People with 'intentions' trying to manipulate the court to serve their needs. Haha. Roles in the court: judges, prosecotor, attorney etc are actions with specific function that we can control. We also add a simple deduction mechanic in the game (I'm a big fan of deduction, so this make me a little proud xD).

We tested the game in a playday with our gaming group and we had a blast playing it! Of course we still got large room for improvement and I'm hoping it turned out great for our client's too :).

Thank you for reading this post! Cheers and happy boardgaming <3.
