Description
THE AGE OLD TROLLEY CONUNDRUM. Trial by Trolley is a multiplayer game in which one player plays the conductor on a runaway train intent on killing anything in its path. The other players play their cards and argue in order to convince the operator to spare their lives and condemn everyone on the other track to a gruesome death-by-trolley.
THE UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES. The non conductors are grouped into teams and each have a role to play on the tracks. Each track gets a random “innocent” card to start them off, like “the world’s greatest physicist”, or “a single kitten on its way to getting adopted.” A real head scratcher, folks!
A RAILROAD OF MORAL DILEMMAS. To make things even harder for our conductor, Each team sabotages the other track with a “guilty” card. Oh, those are bad! We’re talking people like “the four horsemen of the apocalypse” here. Then each player plays modifier cards onto any character on either track to help sway the conductor to their side. Plot twists such as “their ghost will haunt your forever”.
EXCELLENT FOR PARTIES AND GAME NIGHTS. Anyone up for questioning their morals? This easy to learn tabletop game from Skybound Games and Cyanide and Happiness is hilarious (if not horribly offensive) to play with friends and family. It’s great for game nights, at a party, office party, birthdays, drinking games, or just to kill time on a weekend. Play with anywhere from 3 to 13 players.

I purchased this game for a relative as a gift (I own several other Cyanide & Happinessproducts and am a long-time fan). It's definitely a lot of fun! The cards are great, as always, and lead to a lot of spirited discussion and not-so-inner dialogue and moral debate. An enjoyable game to play with a group of adults or can be modified to play solo just to enjoy the moral quandries. There's a lot of replayability since there are so many combinations and different players will feel differently about different situations. Play time will also vary by the rules you set, you can opt for a 15 minute game or recycle cards and keep playing for an hour plus. There are also expansion packs if you want to refresh your game with something new (including an NSFW pack). If you are not familiar with Cyanide & Happiness products I would encourage you to research their webcomic to see if their humor is something you will like or find appropriate for the group you're buying it for before buying. I happen to enjoy this humor, but it may not be for everyone. Think in the vein of Cards Against Humanity. The box clearly states the recommended age is 14+, definitely not for young kiddos! If you like Cyanide & Happiness, liked any of their other games, Cards Against Humanity, playing armchair philosopher, and/or stick figures; you will enjoy this game.

We love to try new and unique games and this one was absolutely horrible. It was overly complicated, and just more work than it was fun.

This game is my favorite game to play, it is so fun to play and always makes me laugh. Because of the way the game is set up, everything is random and every round is different from the last.
good fun

this game is so much fun! there’s something about having to argue on behalf of the worst people, because they’re the cards you drew.
Very fun

I received this game as a gift. It is hilarious if you have a semi dark humor. You have to make a choice with the cards dealt and debate. Its even funnier when you dont even care for your choices. We purchased this one as a gift for relatives and they loved it too.

This game is surprisingly really fun! I thought it would be a “play once then put it in the closet” type of game, but we have played it multiple times. It’s fun to pit our family against each other and see how well we can predict decisions.

Great party game! Make life-or-death philosophical decisions with silly, insane arguments. If you want to see what the game is like just go to youtube and search for "Trolley Tom" and "Trial By Trolley. You'll be laughing so much you won't be able to get off the trolley track before being run over.
