Product description

There's no better way to spend some quality time together as a family than with a game. Instead of watching TV or heading off to your respective bedrooms, you can all sit around and play a game that's thought-provoking, engaging, competitive, and also loads of fun.

To advance and win this game, you have to think like a judge. You begin as a judge at the lowest level, small claims court, with the goal of advancing all the way up to the Supreme Court. You have to lay out the facts of each case, apply the law, and then give your ruling. If it's a match, you move on.

These are not fictional legal cases. There are 120 cards with real lawsuits from the USA, United Kingdom, and Canada. We handpicked these cases because they're interesting, memorable, and contain important issues relevant to everyday life today.

One day I was chatting with two of my students after class, and the topic of family dinner came up. They both mentioned how they felt uncomfortable joining in on many of the 'adult' conversations their parents were having. That bothered me. For years, actually. Here we are 30 years later, and I've created a solution!

If you're a parent of a teenager, then you know that getting them to open up can be like pulling teeth, especially about more serious topics. This game is a great way to get them to come out of their shell. You'll get to see an intellectual side of them that you've probably never seen before.

There's no doubt learning about different legal terms, case law, and the outcomes of various lawsuits is educational, but this is a game, and it should be fun. Wait until you feel the excitement and thrill of thinking through a case, making your 'argument,' and coming out on the winning side.

That’s Just Wrong! can be played with 3-8 players (ages 14+). Each game takes between 30-60 minutes to play. A player pulls a card and reads the facts. Everyone discusses the facts. Each player announces how they think the judge ruled in the actual case. If you guess right, you move on.

Imagine having a family game that was a ton of fun and could help improve their education and communication skills. That's what you get with That’s Just Wrong! Parents are amazed when they see their children better interacting and thinking through problems outside of gameplay.
