Featuring 8 unique cases, over 300 cards, and immersive noir artwork by Vincent Dutrait, it offers a rich, replayable mystery experience where players either solve crimes as detectives or sabotage investigations as The Chisel. ## Description Product Description Detective: City of Angels, set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles, is a game of mystery, deception, and investigation for 1–5 players. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives, hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to successfully close a case, even if that means intimidating suspects, concealing evidence, and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives. One player, however, will take on the role of The Chisel, whose only goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn using bluffing, manipulation, and (often) outright lies. Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Suspects do not simply give paragraph-book responses; instead The Chisel carefully chooses how they will answer. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's Nightclub, is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives toward a dead end that will cost them precious time? Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong, The Chisel will acquire leverage over them, making the case that much harder to solve. Detective: CoA includes separate, detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives choose to pursue their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down, uncovering fresh evidence and "hot" leads, hidden suspects may be revealed and up to date lines of questioning will open up, creating a rich, story-driven experience. Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep, the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games, Detective: City of Angels is a murder-mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective rise above the rest and close the case on L.A.'s latest high profile murder? Or will The Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?

I love how they give you a basic tutorial round and then each story gets more fuffucult. Would love some expansion packs since they're all just one off crime mysteries. But I like the set up and method. My husband can even hang in there with this. Really good quality. We'll worth the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***S on 5 December 2022* un excelente juego si te gusta resolver problemas, acertijos y seguir pistas ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***S on 11 April 2024* There's a lot of fun elements to the interactions in the game, the lying suspects mechanism is very well-designed, and the writing is good. I have played sherlock: consulting detective and a bit of watson and holmes. This is a bit different than those - the stories are more about twists and less about details and rabbit holes of red herrings. Very happy with the purchase! ## Frequently Bought Together - Van Ryder Games - Detective City of Angels Board Game - Perfect for Game Night - 1-5 Players, 30-150 Minutes of Gameplay - Ages 14+ (English Version) - Detective: Smoke and Mirrors (Expansion for Detective: City of Angels) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/295509234-van-ryder-games-detective-city-of-angels-board-game-ages](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/295509234-van-ryder-games-detective-city-of-angels-board-game-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
