It's time for another Board Game Spotlight here at Zatu Games and today we take a closer look at the award-winning party game: Cash 'N' Guns!
Cash 'N' Guns is a firm favourite of mine - just ask the rest of the Zatu team, they will tell you how much I go on about this game! We played this game at our LAN night this past week and a review is on the way so don't worry you can read all about the gameplay of Cash 'N' Guns!
For now, I will share a brief explanation about how you play the game, as well as information about its publishers and designers.
Cash 'N' Guns - The Game
Cash 'N' Guns is a game designed for parties and family reunions - with up to eight people being able to join in the fun! You will need to be careful who you play with though as some people may take the game quite personally - as the Zatu Games boss warned people before we played.
The scene is set before you all start playing the game! You and your friends turn into criminals who have just pulled off the biggest heist ever - congratulations everybody! Of course, as you are thieves, greed becomes a problem and you just can't decide on how to split the loot between you! It's time to play Cash 'N' Guns!
The game is split into eight rounds, with the loot laid out in the middle of the table! Each player is given a gun and a cool gangster character to have as their own! Alongside your weapons, you also receive bullet cards - either loaded or unloaded.
The gameplay itself actually requires you to think hard about your next move. You can bluff your way through or go all guns blazing to eliminate your new rivals! In order to get some loot though you are going to have to stay strong - you do have the option to duck but I wouldn't advise doing this too much!
The winner of the game is the gangster with the most loot - Simple! As it says on the box: Load your Gun, Shoot and Share the loot!
Award Winning Game
Cash 'N' Guns has, rightfully so in my opinion, picked up a couple of awards since its initial release in 2014. Honours include the 2014 Golden Geek Best Party Board Game Award and the UK Expo Best Party Game Award in 2015.
The game was also nominated for the 2015 Origins Awards Best Party game and after playing it this past week with other members of the Zatu Games team it's easy to see why!
The Publisher
Cash 'N' Guns is published by Belgian company Repos Production. The company was created by Cedrick Caumont and Thomas Provoost back in 2004. Some of the most popular games on the market today have been created by Repos Production.
Examples include the 7 Wonders series which includes expansions such as 7 Wonders: Duel, 7 Wonders Babel and 7 Wonders Cities. The original 7 Wonders won the jury prize in 2011, with other top titles in their arsenal also picking up awards. We now also have the 2nd edition out and its expansions.
Party game Time's Up won the ace Golden Game of the Year award in 2004, with trivia/strategy game Concept picking up the same award in 2014.
Other titles made by Repos Production include City of Horror and Terror in Meeple City.
The Designers
Cash 'N' Guns was designed by French games author Ludovic Maublanc. Other board games that he has worked on include Terror In Meeple City, If I was President and Good Question. Maublanc became a full-time game author this year.
