Trial by Trolley

In Trial by Trolley, one player becomes the Trolley Operator—judge and executioner—while everyone else fights for survival.

Teams compete to convince the operator to send the trolley down the opposing track, condemning their rivals to a gruesome fate. Each round, players strategically play cards from three categories: angelic tracks to save themselves, demonic tracks to sabotage opponents, and modifiers to sway the judge's decision. The operator weighs the chaos, arguments, and card plays before making their fateful choice. Whichever track is spared wins the round. The tension builds as players negotiate, bluff, and backstab their way through multiple rounds. With shifting alliances and unpredictable judges, no strategy survives contact with the trolley.

Perfect for game nights that embrace dark humour and social deduction. Supports 3–13 players and plays in 30–90 minutes depending on group size and debate intensity.
