In an abandoned warehouse a gangster band is splitting its loot…
but they can’t get an agreement on the split!
It’s time to let the guns talk and soon everyone is aiming at everyone… The richest surviving gangster wins the game!

CA$H’n GUN$ will make you revive the best scenes of your favourite gangster movies.
Fun, bluff and tough negotiations are guaranteed, but will you dare to play?
It'is simply killing!

CA$H 'n GUN$ a game by Ludovic Maublanc for 4 to 6 gangsters illustrated by Gérard Mathieu (SuperGang, Knightmare Chess, Valley of the Mammoths).

• 6 Characters to put on their stands. 2 stands for each.
• Game rules.


It appears to be a fairly popular game with things that alot of people find to be "fun" but it appears to teach some bad gun handling habits to me. I've seen multiple threads about how toy guns are bad because they have the potential to teach children that guns are toys rather than potentially dangerous tools.

I wonder how big this game would be amoung liberals. This game glorifies the criminal lifestyle that so many liberals seak to protect. I can just imagine the people playing this game being the same people that say they are anti-gun.
 
I read the rules. Seems like a pretty dumb game - you could play Indian poker and get the same results. Without the foam guns, it really doesn't have any appeal.

STOP SAYING "LIBERALS"...use the term "leftists". :) What the current administration tries to paint as liberal is anything but...the word has been stolen from open minded middle ground people and co-opted by the far right to describe the far left. Liberals are okay with guns and hunting and most anything that you might do with your own life as long as you do not hurt others doing it. Leftists are the bleeding hearts who do not believe in personal reponsibility. That being said ... the game would not be fore me since I do not know many gun related scenerios and I would not want to teach a child to point a gun (even a fake one) at another person in fun but some people might love it.:)

I'm not sure this game is for my family/friends, but more because of the game itself rather than because it would teach bad gun habits.

I do have several games something like this, with alot of "props". Usually we end up playing without them after the first couple of games. So the "gun" part of this doesn't mean much to me.


As far as teaching bad habits, I don't know, I've always tried to teach my kids to know the difference between reality and make believe. A toy is a toy and real whatever is a real whatever.

If it shoots anything (plastic bullet, BB, nerf ball etc.) it's real and you treat it properly. A solid piece of wood/plastic/paper is a toy and you play with it.

Besides, I don't really see this as a kid's game.
