The story of the game
About Sin of Angels
Sin of Angels is a browser-based outlaw motorcycle club strategy video game. You run your own MC in the underbelly of an LA-adjacent California town, muscle rival clubs off the streets, run guns and narcotics, and settle scores in the dirt. It is a cinematic digital board game you can play solo against a smart AI, online with friends, pass-and-play on one screen, or throw on the TV while everyone plays from their own phone.
This page is the story of the game. What it is, why it exists, and who is building it.
What it is
A Turf War With Teeth
Strip it down and Sin of Angels is a turn-based, area-control digital board game about turf. Two to six gangs, humans and AI in any mix, fight over one small town for about six rounds. Whoever controls the most territory claims the top patch and wins.
Here is the loop you live in.
- Build your crew. Recruit patched Members and green Prospects.
- Take territory. Move onto the town's Sites, the dive bars, the iron works, the morgue, the meth lab, the docks, and bleed each one for Cash, Guns, and Narcotics.
- Run the economy. Trade at the Silk Road, spend your Orders, and manage your Felonies before the law cracks down.
- Cut deals and break them. Forge ceasefires and alliances with rival clubs, then turn on them when the timing is right.
- Throw down. When two clubs clash on a Site it triggers a Brawl, a dice-and-guns fight that plays out as a cinematic 3D battle, not just a number on a card.
Every location is a front to exploit. Every alliance is temporary. Every rider who goes down gets a memento-mori send-off. Under it all runs an original outlaw-country and dark-Americana soundtrack, blood-red on black, leather and chrome.
It plays in any browser with no install, on desktop, tablet, or phone, iPhone included. A native Android app is on the way. PC access is planned through Steam.
Why we built it
A Hole in the Shelf
Digital board games mostly play it safe. Cozy art, friendly themes, sheep and wheat and railroads. We wanted the opposite. We wanted the loyalty, the turf, the betrayal, and the fight, with real teeth on it.
There was a hole in the shelf. Outlaw-MC and crime-drama fans had shows and games, but not a strategy game that put them in the cut, running a club. Board-game players had deep area-control classics, but few that played on the TV with the whole room in on it. Game-night hosts wanted something they could throw up on the screen and hand everyone a phone. Sin of Angels was built to sit right where all of those meet.
So we made a game night that bites. Deep enough for the strategy crowd, brutal enough for the crime-drama crowd, and easy enough that anyone in the room can grab their phone and ride in. No box to set up. No pieces to lose. Just the town, your crew, and everyone else who wants your patch.
Who is building it
Built by a Small Crew
Sin of Angels is an independent game, built by a small team that grew up on both sides of this thing, the strategy board games and the outlaw-crime stories. It is not a licensed property and not a corporate spin-off. It is its own world, built from scratch, with its own town, its own clubs, and its own patch worth killing for.
