About the game
What you do in a play session
In 'Junta: Viva el Presidente!', you're part of a corrupt government in a banana republic, where the goal is to amass wealth and power while taking advantage of others. Years have passed since the last coups, and now private militias do the dirty work. With dice rolling to resolve conflicts and hand management to plan your moves, the game is a mix of strategy and luck. Negotiate, cheat, and stage coups to become president—but watch out, your 'friends' are doing the same. The winner is whoever can expand their estates and hire more militias first. Perfect for those who enjoy games with dark humor and dirty politics.
