In Lawyer Up, an asymmetrical two-player card game, players take on the roles of lawyers facing off against each other in a lawsuit. One player takes on the role of prosecutor and the other takes on the role of defense. Each case has its own unique mechanics and story.

Lawyer Up is a game of arguments, influence and strategies. Players start with Discovery, where they go through all the evidence in the case and select what they think is important to win. Players then take turns calling and questioning witnesses - building arguments by linking cards with similar symbols and earning influence. Lawyers then use their influence to sway the jury's bias to their side.
