Judge Dredd is a tabletop strategy game published in 1982 by Games Workshop, subtitled The Game of Crime-Fighting in Mega-City One and drawing on the dystopian British comic series that ran in 2000 AD. Designer Ian Livingstone, a co-founder of Games Workshop, created the game for two to six players, each taking the role of a Judge operating in the fictional Mega-City One and competing to arrest criminals called Perps found across the city's sectors. Play uses card based mechanics including Action cards, Crime cards and Perp cards, a mounted gameboard, player pawns and a die for resolving arrest attempts, with victory going to the player who accumulates the most points from successful arrests by the game's end. In 2022 publisher Rebellion reissued the original game alongside related Judge Dredd titles designed by Richard Halliwell.
