About the game
Ca$h 'n Gun$: Live is a sequel to Ca$h 'n Gun$, not an extension - although it does come with a bonus special power to extend its predecessor. 8 to 20 players play in a public place where non-players are present. When the referee blows the whistle, all players points their hands (as if they had a gun) towards another player...all this in a public place! Of course, players are gangsters sharing a lot of money. Though ostensibly a LARP game, and on the cusp of being outside the scope of BGG, it retains inclusion as a group activity not dissimilar from Werewolf. The game was released in August 2007.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ca$h 'n Gun$: Live is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ca$h 'n Gun$: Live for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ca$h 'n Gun$: Live has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
