About the game

What is Conviction

Over the course of four years (rounds), prosecutors take turns rolling the dice to put a Public Figure on trial. Rolling anything but doubles will convict the Public Figure and add them to that prosecutor's conviction pile. But if you do roll doubles, the Public Figure is acquitted and placed under the protection of Lady Justice. Each Public Figure has a point value – the more notorious they are, the more points they’re worth. Trump and his inner circle, family, and comrades are the most valuable convictions; if you somehow convict a Public Figure not associated with Trump (e.g. Elizabeth Warren or the Muslim American), it’ll cost you points. Whoever has the most points at the end wins the game and saves America!

Motion cards add an element of chance and strategy to the game, allowing prosecutors to manipulate the order of the trials or affect the proceedings in other specific ways. The names and illustrations for each Motion offer a tongue-in-cheek take on moments ripped from the headlines, referencing everything from “alternative facts” to Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp.”
