The game of the great American lawsuit. In this fast-paced card game, each player becomes a lawyer, who weighs the facts of the case, examines the law, watches out for hostile juries, and even occasionally deals with stubborn clients. In Doolittle & Waite, as in the real world of legal disputes, players deal head-on, negotiating, bluffing, and even threatening in an attempt to win the case before trial through that noblest of all legal institutions ---the out of court settlement. There are enough cards for up to 15 players, but 8 is a more practical limit.
