The gameplay itself is a bit confusing, I know the concept it's simple but I could not get it at first, only after my first loss did I understand how this was working.\nAlso, I have the feeling that the green zones sometimes overlap their containers ?

You are right, one can be \"summoned\" to court. That being said, I had a hard time understanding the pros and cons of each card. Mainly, I aimed for a balance as much as I could.

Maybe it it wasn't dependent on chance and you had to obtain the cards in a more deterministic way it would work. The music reminds me of Ace Attorney.
