 Junta (Tabletop Game)
comment
Junta is a board game which puts its players in the roles of several corrupt elite families competing for power in a stereotypical Banana Republic. At the beginning of the game, the players all elect an "El Presidente" who in turn assigns each of them a different cabinet position. Each round sees El Presidente drawing 8 bills of foreign aid money before proposing a budget to distribute the money to each player along. If the majority of players are unsatisfied with the budget, they can vote to reject it, which is where the real fun begins, as players can make various coup attempts, assassinations and power plays in an attempt to consolidate as much wealth as possible and transfer it to their Swiss Bank Account. The game ends when the foreign aid money runs out, with whoever has the most money in their account being the winner.

Cool Shades: Some editions of the game come with a pair of sunglasses for the player acting as "El Presidente" to wear.

Corrupt Politician: Players are given "budgets" from the foreign aid money for their government offices. Each player's objective is to skim off as much as possible into their Swiss Bank Account.

Banana Republic: Takes place in a stereotypical Latin American dictatorship, which is even called "La Republica de los Bananas".

The Dictatorship: Set in one. Based on the fact that the government positions are all military ones, it appears to be a military dictatorship.

Civil War: Happens when a coup is declared, leading to a war between the "loyalists" of El Presidente and the "rebels" looking to overthrow him.

comment
The Coup: Much of the gameplay is comprised of this. Coups can be initiated by a player for any number of reasons, including if the budget fails or if a player plays a card giving a coup excuse.
