How to play Junta
In Junta, players bargain, trade, vote, bluff, and manage cards while trying to divert foreign aid into their own Swiss bank accounts; coups can also send forces moving through the capital. It feels like a long, noisy political backstabbing game where alliances shift quickly and the fighting is often secondary to the deal-making. It suits 2 to 7 players, especially a full group of 7 that enjoys negotiation and conflict; it is listed at 240 minutes and ages 16 and up.
