Ca$h ‘n Gun$: Live

About this board game

Ca$h ‘n Gun$: Live is a 30-minute live-action group game for 8 to 20 players, played in a public place where non-players are present. The players take on the role of gangsters who are sharing a lot of money.

When the referee blows the whistle, every player points their hand, as if it were a gun, toward another player. This central action gives the game its distinctive public performance and makes the surrounding group part of the experience.

Although ostensibly a LARP game, Ca$h ‘n Gun$: Live remains included as a group activity not dissimilar from Werewolf. Its focus is on bringing a large group together for a live, immediate activity rather than using a conventional board-game format.

• Players: 8–20
• Play time: 30 minutes
• Setting: A public place with non-players present
• Release year: 2007

This title is a sequel to Ca$h ‘n Gun$, not an extension. It also includes a bonus special power that can be used to extend its predecessor, giving owners of the original game an additional connection between the two releases.

For groups looking for an unusual shared activity, Ca$h ‘n Gun$: Live offers a simple premise with a memorable physical cue: wait for the whistle, then point toward another player. The result is a short, public group experience built around gangster roles, shared money, and a distinctly live presentation.
