Junta (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Junta is a board game developed by West End Games and originally released in 1985. The effect may be mutually reinforcing because the Admiral's combat strenght is greatest as a member of the Junta, hence the rulebook's light-hearted reference to the "ceremonial shelling of the Presidential Palace" at the begining of a coup. Junta cards and foreign aid money may be traded or gifted between players at any time except during the Assassination Phase or the Post-Coup Phase in which case they are immediately disgarded (to prevent death bed generosity). www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Junta_%28board_game%29   (1696 words)

Boston.com / News / Local / Little League mother guilty of assault The case stems from a May 2003 game at which Yianacopolus, a mother of two who had served as the secretary and as a coach in the league, jumped into a fight between her son and another boy. Orlandi also represented Thomas F. Junta, a Reading man convicted of manslaughter in 2002 for beating another father to death at their sons' hockey practice. Shortly afterwards, the league's board of directors voted unanimously to ban Yianacopolus from games and all other Little League activity. www.boston.com /news/local/articles/2005/03/02/little_league_mother_guilty_of_assault   (580 words)

La Revolution Francaise: Board Game Review If it goes to the Royalist, the game will be his, otherwise, depending on the state of the Commune and their Fame, there is a good chance for several players depending on how well they have done in acquiring and keeping regions. The problem is that there are way to much possibility for the game to be bogged as seen in the other game I played where an alliance between the Feuillant and the Marais coupled with bad luck for the revolutionnaries left the Royalist alone against the government who stomped him. From that point, much of the game outcome may depend on when the civil war was started and what its outcome is, which depends mostly on the dice. www.spotlightongames.com /review/lrf.html   (4752 words)

West End Games - Their early work on the Star Wars Roleplaying Game established much of the groundwork of what later became the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and their sourcebooks are still frequently cited by Star Wars fans as reference material.

Previously a producer of board wargames, the company began producing roleplaying games in 1984 with Paranoia. www.grohol.com /psypsych/West_End_Games   (542 words)

What's your favorite board game? [Archive] - RPGnet Forums I bought the follow-up game, Nomad Gods, years ago for only a fiver, even though it's far rarer and worth more, but I prefer the original (and I prefer WBandRM to the more recent Dragon Pass version of the same game, because the game mechanics are far simpler and quicker). This is a game of politicking and and a certain amount of shafting players plans in the French Revolution.

How is Age of Mythology.....THE BOARD GAME?? (What are the good board games right now?) - Topic Ars OpenForum European board games are to US board games as Piccasso is to a child's scribbling. Despite his enormous board game budget, Mantis is too soft-hearted about other board games to see the real champion out there, and I'd still put Catan and its respective expansions above Puerto Rico and their ilk.

luding - the board game database: Essen Report The game is an "easy" one; the goal is to collect sets of three identical numbers or a set of 10 cards in different colours. The goal of the game is to collect sets of tiles from different categories, with bonuses and maluses for those which have the most / the least of a tile catagory.

The Japan Times Online The junta's brutal crackdown culminated in the Gwangju Massacre of hundreds of students and civilians. He had strong reservations about the intentions of the organizers, "The viewer-participant system was a political game being played with artists and the public, there was scant evidence of real collaboration with the viewers," he said.

When generals go daft - INQ7.net The 47-year-old doctor-turned-writer "played the game hard, bobbing and weaving, winking and nudging, honing his metaphors, comparisons and historical references until it all became too much and he fled from Myanmar for safety." That's also the reaction surging among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations toward Myanmar's junta for stalling, yet again, on restoring freedoms. It's a game played by all independent-minded writers in dictatorships from the Philippines of Marcos to Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran and today's Myanmar: writer versus censor, says Mydan's analytical feature titled, "Burmese Editor's Code: Winks And Little Hints." beta.inq7.net /opinion/index.php?index=2&story_id=20700&col=110   (961 words)

WorldNetDaily: Predatory government The best strategy for dealing with these periodic assaults on business by the antitrust junta controlling the Justice Department is to rip away their power by repealing restrictions on free enterprise once and for all. This is a nice fantasy and it might make a nice board game, but it has nothing to do with the real world. As Dominick Armentano argues in his new book, Antitrust: The Case for Repeal, there is no clear standard of what distinguishes predatory price cuts from run-of-the-mill price cuts. www.wnd.com /news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=20268   (972 words)

Independent Online Edition > News At once rich with playing talent and mercantile investment at the highest level, the game needs only a short sequence of setbacks to deflate it as comprehensively as any bubble in the first years of the dotcom boom. And whatever some critics say about the influx of foreign players, it has allowed fans to see skills that were too often denied a place in the English game and, perhaps more importantly, to confront and dismantle their inclination to xenophobia. Argentina were allowed to play one game knowing exactly the score they needed in order to proceed - and they duly thumped six goals past a curiously inept Peruvian goalie. sport.independent.co.uk /football/news/article335856.ece   (2591 words)

Widdershins at DearDiary.Net... The junta of rightist slimebags who took over the Dover school board in Pennsylvania and strove to institutionalize the abjectly retarded doctrine of "intelligent design" has been sacked. You can be sure most of these mooncalves wound up paying through the nose for their next place of residence, thereby perpetuating a zero-sum game that masquerades as money for nothing in the eyes of suckers who will buy a toothpaste because it claims to reduce cavities by 200%. The Governator is floundering in California, and does not seem able to muster the same populist support for his rightist ballot propositions that he enjoyed when he was catapulted into office. www.deardiary.net /smarty/rss2.php?diary_id=110535   (7603 words)
