Junta is a
board game designed by Vincent Tsao published, as of 1985, by
West End Games. Players compete as the
corrupt power elite families of a fictional
parody of a
stereotypical banana republic (specifically
Republica de los Bananas) trying to get as much
money as possible into their
Swiss bank accounts before the
foreign aid money runs out. Fighting in the republic's capital during recurrent coup attempts encompasses most of the game's equipment, rules and playtime. This game-within-the-game is however actually tangential to the players' main goal.
