Guns or Treasure: Parrots and Monkeys - Card Game Expansion

The Parrots and Monkeys expansion for Guns or Treasure is exactly what the game needed—bigger, bolder, and more chaotic. With this expansion, you can now play with up to 9 players instead of the usual 6. Inside, you’ll find 4 Parrot Cards, 3 Monkey Cards, 3 Captain Cards, 19 Gun Cards, and 19 Treasure Cards. It’s the perfect way to crank up the fun and challenge.

Parrot Cards copy the value of your bow card (the face-up card at the front of the ship). For example, if the first card has 5 guns, all Parrot Cards on that ship are worth 5 guns. If a Parrot Card is the first card, it matches the value of the closest non-Parrot Card. A ship built entirely of Parrot Cards will have no value because they need a non-Parrot Card to copy.

Monkey Cards are scored along with Treasure Cards. They subtract 5 treasure from your total if they are in your stash, so they’re best placed on ships you plan to lose to your opponent. These cards add a layer of strategy by messing with your opponent's plans and forcing you to play carefully.

Captains:

• Mme Liza Perruche
• Bruno Barqueiro
• Charlie Hightower

What really makes this expansion stand out are the new Monkey and Parrot Cards. Parrots give you more ways to play your hand by copying the value of the first card, while Monkey Cards disrupt your opponent’s treasure stash, forcing them to lose points. These cards force you to think on your feet, shaking up the whole game and making each round unpredictable.

If you're a fan of Guns or Treasure or already own it, the Parrots and Monkeys expansion is a must-have. Designed by Bryce Brown of Castillo Games, original creator of the award-winning Rescuing Robin Hood (which earned the Dice Tower's Seal of Excellence), this expansion brings even more depth and strategy to your gameplay. It's not just about adding more players—it introduces new tactics, chaos, and exciting challenges that will spice up your game nights.
