Detective: City of Angels is an epic narrative-driven board game set in the dark and violent world of 1940's Los Angeles. Most players will step into the shoes of L.A.P.D. homicide detectives that will do whatever it takes to solve the case, but one player will take on the role of The Chisel, whose goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn.

Game Modes

While we highly recommend the game be played in CLASSIC MODE where everyone is playing competitively against each other AND The Chisel, the versatility of Detective: City of Angels is such that it can also be played in HEAD TO HEAD mode with one Detective player against The Chisel, or in SLEUTH MODE Cooperatively/Solitaire with no Chisel player.

Playing HEAD TO HEAD against the Chisel removes the "corruption" elements of multiple players bribing and snitching their way to victory, but there is still a battle of wits with the Chisel as you try to unravel the mystery.

Alternatively, in SLEUTH MODE, you will use a paragraph book and case grid cards that allows the game to be played without a Chisel player. The Sleuth book will simulate the play of the Chisel. In particular, playing the game solo is a great way to prepare for your first game as The Chisel!

In each of these modes of play the Adaptive Response Card system is in the spotlight and the competitive elements of the game, like scratch and bribe actions, are removed. The focus is primarily on solving the case and immersing yourself in the role of a detective.

Narration

We've partnered with Forteller games to provide thematic narrations of the prologues and epilogues of each case in Detective: City of Angels. Once again, we are working with Forteller to produce prologues and epilogues for Heists and Heartbreak as well! As part of this campaign, access to the audio narration is automatically included in your pledge* for just the new expansion (at the Heartbreaker level), or for the entire case catalog of the Detective base game and all expansions (at the Kingpin level).

*No audio is included for ADD-ON expansions added separately, if you need audio for a specific expansion you can purchase it at forteller.com

Here is an example of the narration:
