About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a movie-worthy gangster showdown! In Ca$h 'n Gun$, a crew gathers to split a juicy loot, but trust is a rare commodity. Each round, one player takes on the role of 'The Don', dictating the terms... or rather, pointing the gun. The cash is on the table, and tension rises as everyone secretly chooses whether to draw their weapon (with a 'Bang!', a 'Bang! Bang! Bang!', or a 'Click! Click!') or chicken out and take a 'chicken' token.

The most intense part is when everyone simultaneously aims their guns. Those who take the most hits might get wounded and lose their chance to grab their share of the spoils. Survivors (who didn't chicken out) then split the cash, with any remainder added to the pot for the next round. The trick is that the 'shot' cards are limited, so card counting and bluffing are crucial to avoid leaving empty-handed (or worse, getting shot!).

With simple rules and quick playtime, Ca$h 'n Gun$ is pure fun and controlled chaos. It's the kind of game that generates hilarious stories and moments of sheer tension, perfect for those who enjoy a good dose of negotiation, bluffing, and a little player elimination to spice things up. If you dig the gangster movie vibe and aren't afraid to point a (foam) gun at a friend, this one's for you!
