Cash N Guns (2nd Edition)

Cash N Guns is hands-down one of our favorite board games to play with friends. It’s fast-paced, hilarious, and gets everyone involved right away. The bluffing, negotiation, and surprise moments make every round feel different. It’s easy to learn but still keeps things exciting, even after multiple plays. The game always leads to lots of laughs and playful trash talk, and it’s perfect for game nights when you want something interactive instead of overly strategic or complicated. If you’re looking for a fun, high-energy game that works great with a group of friends, this one is a must-have. We pull it out all the time and it never disappoints.

My friends and I love playing this game. Easy to play and unique. Highly recommend.

If your family loves to play games or kind of like to play games, this game will fit all of the above.

Great game, great quality

This game is so fun. Easy to learn and just absolutely a good time. Bought 3 more for gifts.

This is a great party game. It plays 4 to 8 players, thought it's best with 5+. Gameplay is generally less than an hour (usually around 30 minutes). In short, it is a bluffing game where the objective is to get the most cash while staying alive - and you get foam guns! It plays over eight rounds. In every round, a pile of loot (cash, art, diamonds) is put out in the center. Everyone has a stack of eight bullets - but only three are live, the other five are blanks. You'll use one each round, but people won't know what you're firing. Simultaneously, every player is going to point their guns at each other - then anyone has a chance to hide (get no loot, but no chance of being shot) - then anyone still up reveals what bullet they fired. Anyone shot by a 'live' bullet takes a wound and gets no loot, blanks do nothing. Three wounds and you're permanently dead. Normally I hate player elimination, but the game is so short that it does not detract from the game! Anyone still standing distributes the look amongst themselves, then the next round begins. That's the general rules - there are some minor tweaks, but that's generally how the game plays. The fun comes in the bluffing and arguing. There is a lot of strategy in when to use your real bullets as opposed to your blanks, as well as when to hide as opposed to running the risk of being shot. The quality of the components is excellent (and, come on - you're pointing foam guns at each other!) and the art is cute. There are also "role" cards you can hand out that gives everyone a unique power, if you like. All in all, it's a great party game that is always chaotic fun.

This game is amazingly fun as a party game. I play a lot of more serious board games and some serious strategy games, but sometimes you just want to joke around with some friends while pretending to point guns at each other! I will note that I've played both the 1st and 2nd edition. The 2nd edition is worse because it introduced some new rules that in my opinion make the game less fun. The good part is, you can play the 1st edition with the second edition print (because the 2nd edition just added rules). You should be able to find the rules online but in order to play the 1st edition: - Remove the godfather role - Remove the Gems and paintings and extra bullet/ wound cards - Instead of choosing loot one at a time, going clockwise, the loot is divided EVENLY between all remaining players (who weren't shot or backed down). If the loot can't be divided evenly, divide as much out evenly as possible and the remaining loot STAYS IN THE MIDDLE. 8 new cards are drawn (thus the pile gets EVEN BIGGER). This creates a much more fun dynamic in my opinion and allows the game to be much more whimsical. My final recommendation for this game is one that my friend made to increase the energy of playing it. - Everybody should start sitting down but then stand up when you point your foam guns at each other. Just stand up! It gets people moving and people get to have a lot more fun "getting into character" and pretending to threaten each other with foam guns Have fun!

we love this game! My friends and I play a lot of board games. This one is an updated version of the original cash n guns. It's really easy to learn and who doesn't like pretending to be a mobster with a fake foam gun? The rules are pretty basic so you can learn how to play in a matter of minutes. Huge contrast from games like Agricola or Battlestar Galactica where multiple games later you still feel like you're figuring out the rules. It also goes pretty fast so it's a good game for those board game days when people have to leave early. It's also good for large groups because up to 8 people can play. I would say it's a good intro game or good for someone who was a casual board game player (or wanted break from the more involved games). It's still fun if you're into advanced board games though!
