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.

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.

One of my favorite iCivics games! Educational, thrilling, compelling, and a lot of fun! This almost makes me want to be a lawyer! However, I really miss the old artwork, music, and interface. It looked a lot better and it's 4 stars just for that because it took so much away from my playing experience, as a longtime player. Other than that a lot of fun and investment in a really interesting game!
