About this board game

Tribunal 1920 is a two-player bluffing game in which lawyers compete to win three trial hearings. Set in New York in 1920, each game takes around 30 minutes, making it a focused legal contest for exactly two players.

To compete in court, you must use the cards in your hand to place your pawns on a grid. Every placement brings you closer to the key objective: creating a line of three pawns and winning the current audience.

The game centers on bluffing and tactical placement. Your cards determine how you place pawns in court, while your decisions on the grid shape your chances of completing a row before your opponent. Read the situation carefully and make each move count.

  • Players: 2
  • Play time: approximately 30 minutes
  • Core mechanics: bluffing, card-based pawn placement, and forming three in a row
  • Setting: New York, 1920

Winning an audience is an important step toward victory, but one successful hearing is not enough. The lawyer who can win three trial hearings will claim the game.

With its direct two-player format and clear courtroom objective, Tribunal 1920 presents a compact contest of deception and positioning. Will you be a good lawyer, place your pawns wisely, and build the winning case?
