Product Information

The reason being is the circle will single the question was asked, and then a player can be an X in it if they challenged or asked a question with leveraged. Each detective will now receive an investigation sheet that they will fill out with their suspects on the left side going down and lettered case cards going across the top. After the Detective hands over their investigation sheet to the Chisel, the Chisel will check to see if the Detective is correct. Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives, hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to close a case, even if that means intimidating suspects, concealing evidence, and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives.

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. The superbly written suspect responses bring out the theme and make each character and each case feel real and unique. The added difficulty and hilarity of racing for evidence, trying to see everything first, and choosing when to pay bribes gives the game an extra edge that you just can't get any other way. My primary experience of this game is of solving the cases on my own, then acting as the chisel for other players.You are directed to numbered paragraphs by a player grid, and you will still have the option to challenge a suspect's response to you. Challenge incorrectly, however, and you'll end up taking on stress tokens, which can shorten the amount of time you have to solve a case.

They are the game master whose job it is to keep the detectives from getting to the bottom of the case. Also, be aware that this game is a one time play through as solving the crime means that it cannot be played through again. If you like solving crimes, Detective: City of Angels might find refuge in your board game collection. We’ve got a whole bunch of different categories here, and the whole team giving their recommendations of the things that they think are going to be absolutely cracking gifts. When a player chooses to question a suspect, the Chisel will choose one of several possible answers.The first day of the game a detective will place their miniature on the board at a police station at the start of their turn, this is only done on the first day.
