Article that needs the most improvement:

The Jury Box (game) needs the most improvement because its almost empty and doesn't really explain at all what it is. What it currently has is that its a predecessor to some current genre of games and that's all. What it needs to be added is what is this game, who created and why did they create it. How is the game played, what is its objective and how many players can play. It needs more meat to this article because its really thin and doesn't tell you anything at all. This seems the best to improve because it seems really interesting to me that is a predecessor to murder mystery games but I want to had more to it like what is the game and how you play that because it needs that. The first thing I would do is add information on the game so people know what this game is because that's missing. The second thing would be of how to play the game and put the instructions into the article so its understandable of how its played. The last thing would be cleaning up the information and checking to make sure I added everything I wanted to and put my sources into the article.
