A pixel-art law office at night: lawyers in suits walk between desks while the city glows outside. Night shift at the firm

Billable

Bill. Sue. Poach.

Run a law firm of pixel lawyers you actually own. Every 12 hours each one bills hours, digs for evidence, takes a rival to court or tries to poach their best people. Fifteen turns later, the most valuable firm wins the court term.

  • Robinhood Chain
  • 12-hour turns
  • Genesis: 5,000 lawyers

Examples: a Litigator wins in court and takes 30% of the rival's fees; a Discovery job finds a rare item; a Closer is poached to a new firm; a lawyer bills hours overnight; the court term ends after 15 turns.

The world

Welcome to Docket Street

A city that never stops billing. Every tower on Docket Street holds a firm, every firm holds a roster of lawyers, and every twelve hours the whole street goes to work at once. Nobody moves first. Everybody finds out together.

How it works

One turn, twelve hours

It's an idle strategy game: a few minutes of decisions, then the clock does the work. Orders repeat until you change them, so most turns are a quick check-in.

  1. Check the ticker

    See last turn's court pools, match rates and who got poached.

  2. Give orders

    Each lawyer gets one job: Bill, Discovery, Litigate or Poach.

  3. Twelve hours pass

    Every firm resolves at the same moment from one public random seed.

  4. Read the results

    Fees, verdicts, drops, transfers. Everything can be re-checked.

  5. Claim and invest

    Pay upkeep, rank lawyers up, equip items, level your partner.

Four jobs

Bill hours

Bill

Diligence

Safe, steady fees and the odd item find. Pays its own upkeep, so a broke firm can always climb back.

Risk
Discovery

Dig

Research

A small fee and always one item. Research raises the odds of a second find and a better tier.

Risk
Litigate

Sue

Advocacy

A 1v1 case against a random lawyer. Winners take 30% of the loser's fees and may find an item. Even fights pay best; losers risk disbarment.

Risk
Poach

Poach

Persuasion

The biggest fee in the game. One in five wins brings the lawyer over, and every one of those finds an item.

Risk

Win chances are public

Every duel uses one published formula. Scores are the lawyer's stat, plus a small streak bonus for sticking with the same fight. Anyone can recompute every verdict from the turn's random seed.

P(win) = 1 / (1 + 10^((them - you) / 20))

The golden rule

Put every lawyer on the job their skills are built for. We ran thousands of simulated court terms to make sure that "play to your lawyers' strengths" is the strongest strategy, and that no single job wins on its own.

The lawyers

Six specialists and a boss

Each lawyer is an NFT with a grade, six stats and one or more skills. The prop in their hand gives away their main skill.

No two lawyers alike

Lawyers are generated when they are revealed. The same verifiable random number that rolls a lawyer's grade and skills also rolls their looks: skin, hair, suit, neckwear, eyewear, accessory and backdrop, over 150 million combinations.

Looks aren't only cosmetic. Clothes and accessories add +1 to +3 to a stat, depending on how rare they are. Every hairstyle adds +2 to a different stat. Skin tone, hair colour and facial hair are cosmetic only, on purpose. On average, looks add about +6 stat points, roughly one extra basic skill.

These cards are random examples drawn in your browser by the same generator the game uses. They are not minted, and they are not for sale here. Minting happens in the game app.

Trait table: every look and its bonus

Duels are drawn at random from everyone on the same job. The lower grade gets a bonus, and big rank gaps pay the winner less and protect both lawyers, so a new firm still has real fights to win and can't be farmed.

Build the firm

Grow it, or guard it

Ranks, your partner and your loot make lawyers stronger. But a poached lawyer loses its rank and items, so what you invest in, and when, is the real game.

Ranks 1-10

Spend tokens and experience to add +1 to every stat per rank. Rank 6 earns 5% more; from rank 7, gear stops wearing out.

Managing Partner

One per firm, with 6 to 10 room slots. Each level adds +1 to all stats for the lawyers in its span of control, and its rooms buff them further. Big firms need a big partner.

Evidence locker

Every spare item you find stays yours, with no limit and nothing ever thrown away. Equip them, place them with the Partner, or craft three into one of the next tier (up to Epic).

Loot worth hunting

91 items in seven tiers. Every card shows its colour and Item Power, and a higher tier always beats a lower one. Below the named artefacts, the rank in the name tells you what you've got: Intern's, Clerk's, Associate's, Partner's.

One line through the ranks: Intern's, Clerk's, Associate's, Partner's, then the legendary Gavel of First Precedent. Click any card to see what it does.

Fifteen named artefacts sit above Epic. Each is numbered, remembers the firm that found it, and is announced to the whole server when it drops. The two Royalty pieces exist once, ever.

Sets: two pieces of one set on a lawyer unlock a bonus. Four ranked sets, plus the Regalia of the High Court. The Managing Partner has its own: a full floor of one rank, or all four rooms of The Glass Tower.

Epic and up are NFTs

Only Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Royalty items can leave the game as NFTs: numbered, carrying the name of the firm that found them, and tradeable once you take one out (a small ETH fee pays the mint). Common, Uncommon and Rare items live in the game only.

Trade up: 3 into 1

Three items of the same tier craft into one item of the next tier: Common → Uncommon (always), Uncommon → Rare (90%), Rare → Epic (70%). Epic is the top of crafting: Legendary and above can only be found.

Click any item to see what it does.

FAQ

Objections, answered

What kind of game is this?

An idle strategy game. You own lawyer NFTs and give each one a standing order. Every 12 hours every firm's orders resolve at once. A court term is 15 turns (7.5 days), and the firm worth the most at the end wins.

How much time does it take?

A few minutes per turn, often less: orders repeat until you change them. The skill is in reading the ticker and changing the right order at the right time.

Are the lawyers really random?

Yes. A lawyer's grade, skills and looks are all rolled at reveal from a verifiable random number, and the roll function is public, so anyone can check any lawyer.

Do looks change gameplay?

A little. Clothes and accessories add +1 to +3 to one stat, and every hairstyle adds +2 to one stat. Skin tone, hair colour, facial hair and backdrop are cosmetic only. On average looks add about +6 points, about the same as one basic skill.

Can I lose my lawyers?

Yes, but it's rare and you choose the risk. A lawyer on Poach can be poached by a rival firm, and a lawyer who loses in court has a small chance of disbarment. Bill and Discovery are safe. Ethics, the retainer and some skills cut the risk.

Which chain? Which wallet?

Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-compatible network. Any EVM wallet that supports custom networks will work. The game app will walk you through connecting.

Where do I mint?

In the game app, once Genesis opens. This site is for learning about the game; it never asks you to connect a wallet. Always check the app address against our official channels.

Is this an investment?

No. It's a game. Tokens and NFTs can lose value, and nothing on this site is financial advice. Only spend what you're happy to spend on a game.
