Overview
A party game of moral dilemmas and trolley murder. In Trial by Trolley, one player is the Trolley Operator who decides which track a runaway trolley will take. Other players, divided into teams, play cards to influence the operator’s decision, aiming to save their track and doom the other. Each round, the operator (judge) chooses which track to spare. Players draw and play cards to add “angelic” or “demonic” elements to the tracks, and use modifiers to sway the judge’s decision. The spared track wins the round.
