Parent Pro-Tip
Before your child plays, talk with them about the game's themes of religious and political power — two godlike figures are revealed to be manipulative and morally compromised, which can be a rich conversation starter about trust, authority, and critical thinking.

Representation?How diverse the game's characters are in gender and ethnicity. Higher = more authentic representation. Display only — does not affect time recommendation.
Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— Passes the test
The expansion features Almalexia as a central divine figure whose story and motivations exist independently of male characters, and multiple named female characters interact meaningfully within the plot.
Parent Pro-Tip
Engaging with this conversation helps children develop real-world critical thinking skills that mirror the ethical reasoning the game itself encourages, turning gameplay into a meaningful shared discussion about how power and persuasion work.
What your child develops
Tribunal is a rich, story-driven RPG expansion that rewards deep reading comprehension, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning. The central plot — involving two divine figures each manipulating the player for their own ends — challenges players to question authority, weigh competing loyalties, and think carefully about who to trust. Navigating Mournhold's political intrigue and the labyrinthine sewers beneath it exercises both spatial awareness and problem-solving. The game's heavy reliance on written dialogue and lore books provides substantial reading and language engagement, and its open-ended quest design encourages players to think strategically about how to approach objectives.
