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!

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.

The game requires players to have critical thinking and a clear logical reasoning. It's very beneficial to building one's argumentation skills. The game also allows you to pick a side of the case you chose plus allows you to pick how intelligent you want your opponent AI to be, which adjusts the degree of difficulty of the gameplay. The only thing is, there are only a few cases, and there are few usages of legal nuances and jargon. Good for learning general concepts, but nothing too detailed.
