Review on 💵 Cash N Guns Second Edition: Enhanced for Optimal Online Visibility by Robert Fulce

This is a great party game. Play with 4 to 8 players, preferably 5+. Gameplay typically lasts less than an hour (usually around 30 minutes). In short, this is a bluffing game about getting as much money as possible while staying alive and you get foam guns! The game goes over eight rounds. In each round a loot stack (money, art, diamonds) is laid out in the middle. Each has a stack of eight bullets - but only three are live, the other five are blanks. You'll use one every round, but people won't know you're shooting. At the same time, each player will point their guns at each other - then everyone will have a chance to hide (no loot, but no chance of getting shot) - then everyone who hasn't stood up yet will show which bullet they fired. Anyone who is hit with a "sharp" bullet will be wounded and get no loot, idlers do nothing. Three wounds and you're dead forever. I usually hate eliminations, but the game is short enough that it doesn't distract from the game! Everyone standing looks at each other, then the next round begins. These are the general rules - there are minor changes, but broadly this is how the game plays out. The most interesting thing is bluffing and arguing. There are many strategies when to use real bullets or blanks and when to hide rather than risk being shot. The quality of the components is excellent (and c'mon, you're aiming foam guns at each other!) and the art is cute. There are also "role" cards that you can deal out, each giving a unique power if you like. Overall, this is a great party game that's always messy fun.
