**PREORDER**

In the pursuit of justice, the truth is secondary. What matters is how you frame your story.

Step into the shadow-soaked world of 1930s America, where the line between guilt and innocence is drawn not by facts alone -- but by the power of persuasion. Courtroom: 1936 - The Noir Trilogy is a competitive team-based investigation game for 2-6 players that puts you in the heart of a courtroom drama, challenging you to build a compelling case from a tangle of evidence, unreliable witnesses, and hidden secrets.

Two teams face off across three phases of play. In the Discovery phase, both sides race to uncover evidence from the case file -- but with a twist: you can conceal key pieces from your opponents, keeping your strategy close to the chest. Then comes the Testimony phase, where you confront witnesses with the evidence you've gathered, pressing them for more information or firing off objections to block your rivals' lines of questioning. Finally, it all comes down to the Closing Arguments -- where each team weaves their gathered clues into a cohesive narrative and delivers it as a rousing speech. The jury decides who told the better story.

The box contains three fully standalone cases, each dripping with noir atmosphere:

• Death in the Suburbs
• A Fallen Western Star
• Sheridan Grand Hotel

No components are destroyed during play, so every case can be revisited or shared with friends. With its blend of deduction, strategic evidence management, and improvisational storytelling, Courtroom rewards both sharp minds and silver tongues.
