Point Of Law (1972)

About this game

Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series later acquired by Avalon Hill From the box: "POINT OF LAW is an exciting game of involvement for all players. You are the judge and jury! You decide which argument is most convincing. Many an interesting discussion -- and an occasional laugh or two -- takes place as players use logic and intuition in reaching their decisions. "Will your decisions be just? Will you declare the 'Feral Financier' a public nuisance? How will you rule in the case of the IRS against the 'Self-Rising Sinner'? Can the 'Mixed-Up Marriage' be annulled? Was the 'Midnight Murder' really murder? Any number can play. Bookshelf case contains Point of Law Case Book with 100 courtroom dramas and decisions, decision sheets, score board and marker."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 12. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
