Classic ‘Junta’ Returns to Print by Way of AEG

Jan 2, 2018

A truly classic board game has come back in print recently from our friends at AEG. While I never played, I do remember seeing Junta on hobby store shelves back when I was a teen and it’s nice to see the return of the banana republic game of back stabbing and double dealing make a return. Junta is for two to seven players, ages 14+, plays in two to four hours, and carries an MSRP of $39.99.

From AEG:

The Classic Game of Power, Money, Intrigue and Revolution

POWER! Do you have enough influence and Pesos to become the new President of the República de las Bananas?

MONEY! Pesos for bribes, Pesos for assassinations. How will you get enough of those nice little bills to pay for your political wheeling and dealing? With the Monarchists on your side, you surely can figure something out …

INTRIGUE! Pay a little money for an assassination to gain a lot more – you need only to guess correctly where the other members of the government are hidden!

REVOLUTION! Your assassins may not have been successful, but a group of misguided students in front of the Presidential Palace convinced you that the current regime is unbearable. Get ready to start a Coup and free the República de las Bananas of its corrupt leaders. Will the rebels choose you as their next President, or will you be sent to the firing squad at dawn?
