Guilty as Sock!

Guilty as Sock! is a courtroom game where you and your friends take part in chaotic trials. As a lawyer, you use evidence cards to defend yourself or attack the accused; as prosecutor, you make accusations and try to shape the story. Players can talk over opponents, throw paper balls and mock them to sway the verdict.

Courtroom roles

The judge gives players the floor, punishes unruly lawyers and can reject evidence they find suspicious or ridiculous. They decide whether to deliver a fair verdict or take the trial in another direction. Other roles support or disrupt the proceedings:

• Witness: provides key facts that can support the prosecution or defense and influence the trial.
• Bailiff: uses tools to subdue unruly players and keep order.
• Journalist: can publish up to 3 breaking news articles per trial, which can be used as evidence.
• Juror: votes guilty or not guilty with buzzers and draws on a slate.
