Game Overview: More Ca$h 'n More Guns, or If You Shoot This Man, You Die Next

Ludovic Maublanc's Ca$h 'n Gun$ debuted in 2005, the second release from Belgian publisher Repos Production, which is best known these days for 7 Wonders. I remember trying Ca$h 'n Gun$ at a convention in late 2005 following Spiel, then racing to order a copy as soon as possible, making sure to get the promo shotgun while doing so. Many gunfights ensued...

In 2013, Repos decided to revamp and relaunch Ca$h 'n Gun$, using the development experience it had gained over the previous decade to strip out a few extraneous gameplay elements that tripped up casual players, while also adding more variety to the loot available for the grabbing. (That re-development was covered in this 2014 video report from Spielwarenmesse.) The second edition of Ca$h 'n Guns, now bearing only a single dollar sign to ease the pain of weary writers, debuted at Gen Con 2014, and shots were once again heard 'round the world of convention halls.

At Gen Con 2015, Maublanc and Repos Production released a small expansion for the game — More Ca$h 'n More Guns — that ups the ante a bit in terms of complexity while also giving players still more variety of loot to fight over in between shots fired. Here's an overview of what's being added to the game:
