About the game
Ca$h 'n Gun$ puts players in the roles of gangsters splitting stolen loot who can't agree on the split, so they settle it at gunpoint with foam pistols. Each round, players secretly load a 'gun' card, aim their foam guns at each other, and decide whether to chicken out of the standoff before shots are resolved. Wounded players miss out on splitting the round's cash and risk elimination after enough hits, while the richest surviving gangster wins after eight rounds. The physical aiming and bluffing create a uniquely theatrical party experience.
Hobbli's Notes
Ca$h 'n Gun$ is one of the most memorable party games out there thanks to its literal foam-gun standoffs. The bluffing and negotiation before each round create constant table talk and betrayal. It's best enjoyed with a group that leans into the theatrics and trash talk. A fantastic choice when you want a party game with real physical presence.
What we like
