In Lawyer Up, a two-player asymmetrical card game, players will take on the roles of attorneys facing off against each other in a courtroom case. One player takes on the role of the prosecution while the other takes on the role of defense. Every case has its own unique mechanisms and story from Murder to Racketeering.

Lawyer Up is a game of influence, arguments and strategies. Players begin with Discovery, where they will go through all the evidence of the case and draft what they think is important for them to win. Then Players take turns calling and questioning witnesses - building arguments by chaining together cards with the same symbols and earning influence. Attorneys then use their influence to sway the biases of the jury to their side of the argument.
