Based on real life court trials, Snap Judgment has players gaining points for correctly guessing the verdicts. Players roll and move around a stylized board gaining experience and, optionally, trying to guess the verdict of a court case read from a book. Cases range from simple misdemeanors to murder. After a player gives his answer, other players may challenge. Whether a challenge is successful or not, a player may still check with the Court of Appeals for one more attempt to reach his chosen verdict. Players gain 'Certificates of Judgement' for a correct answer or challenge. These certificates may be traded in for additional tokens, to be used in other parts of the game (e.g.-crime investigation, corporate retainers, etc). Whoever gains three yellow tokens and five black tokens first, wins.
