About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine you and your crew just pulled off the heist of the century, but now it's time to split the loot in an abandoned warehouse. The catch? Nobody wants a fair share. In Ca$h 'n Guns, diplomacy is optional, and foam pistols are mandatory. The goal is straightforward: end the eight rounds with the biggest fortune and, most importantly, still be breathing.
Each round, one player takes the role of the 'Boss'. They control the pace and hold the power to force someone to redirect their aim if they are being targeted. The round's loot—ranging from cash and diamonds to fine art or medical supplies—is laid out on the table. Tension peaks as players secretly load their weapons with either a 'Bang!' (a real shot) or a 'Click!' (a blank).
When the showdown happens, everyone points their guns simultaneously. If you're hit by a 'Bang!', you lose your chance at the loot and take a wound marker. If you're feeling cowardly, you can chicken out of the round, but you'll miss out on the riches. Those who survive claim the loot one by one, starting with the Boss. Keep in mind that collecting diamonds and paintings provides massive bonuses at the end, while too many wounds will knock you out of the game. It's a game of pure bluffing, where staring down your opponent and lying with confidence is your best weapon. Who will emerge as the richest gangster at the table?
