In Ca$h 'n Guns, a gangster crew divides loot in an abandoned warehouse while aiming foam guns at each other. Players secretly choose "Bang!" or "Click! Click!" cards, bluffing and threatening opponents. After eight rounds, the richest surviving gangster wins by collecting the most valuable loot.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for groups of 4 to 8 players who enjoy fast, social party games. It is a light to medium-weight game with simple rules and about 30 minutes playtime. No prior experience is required, but players should enjoy bluffing and negotiation.
How It Works
Ca$h 'n Guns uses simultaneous action selection and open drafting: players secretly select their shot cards, then all point foam guns simultaneously. Players can back out before revealing shots to avoid getting wounded. Loot is then drafted starting with the Boss, who controls the pace. Variable player powers and player elimination add strategic depth and tension.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Ludovic Maublanc, Ca$h 'n Guns: Second Edition won the 2014 Golden Geek Best Party Board Game and the 2015 UK Games Expo Best Party Game. It stands out through its use of foam guns and combines bluffing with a humorous mafia theme. It is part of the Ca$h 'n Gun$ family and features mechanics like variable player powers and take-that.
