Cash n' Guns - ...  Foam gun pointing bluffing game?I had a bunch of friends visit from out of town, so we had a chance to bust out a lot of games that I haven't had a chance to play in a long time.  Cash n' Guns is a game about a bunch of bank robbers calmly and politely divvying up the money after a job well done.  They do this by drawing their possibly loaded guns on each other in an attempt to convince their friends to give them their (un)fair share.  I love this game, but my normal gaming group usually isn't big enough to make this game interesting.Goblins Inc - Giant mechanical robot of doom building death match chaosThis game is everything I love about Galaxy Trucker, and none of the things I absolutely despise about Galaxy Trucker.  Players take on the role of a bunch of Goblin Mechanics competing to become the new boss of the Giant Mechanical Robot of Doom Factory.  The game plays out over two rounds of GMRoD on GMRoD combat, with players being randomly split into teams each round.  In addition, each player is given a handful of random "agendas" to choose from that dictate how they want to win points when the fight is over and done with.  These agendas tend to run the gambit of how well you think your team, and/or your robot are going to do, but there is the chance of getting an agenda that allows you to bet against yourself.  Each round of the game is split into two different phases.  In the first phase, teammates build their robots, each taking turns to (quietly and without any communication at all) select pieces that their partner then needs to attach to their machine.  In the second, teammates take turns (once again, quietly and without any communication) swapping between piloting and operating the weapon systems.I was blown away by this game and can't wait to play it again this weekend.  It's just the right mix of light strategy, team work, chaos, and back stabbing to make me happy in a fast game.</blockquote>
