	Junta (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Junta is a board game designed by Vincent Tsao originally published by Creative Wargames Workshop in 1978, and later published by West End Games.
		The game's title is taken from the Spanish term Junta which originally referred to the executive bodies that frequently came to power after a military coup in 20th century Latin America.
		In the game, the term refers to the players who declare "pro-Junta" at the beginning the coup phase, and—if the coup is victorious—to the players who declare "pro-Junta" at the end of the coup phase to elect a new president.

		Board games occupy every room except the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry space, and most closets are crammed full of games.
		He is particularly interested in games that have a unique and beautiful design and games that have the “neatest” components, such as play pieces made of metal or wood rather than plain cardboard or plastic.
		Since then, Elam’s house of games has continued to grow, and though he claims he is slowing down in his acquisition, his youthful excitement for finding the next new game is not abating.

	Junta Review of Westpark Gamers
		The Game: The game board shows the important political quarters of a modern capital (presidential palace, parliament, police districts, barracks, embassies, central bank etc.).
		Thereupon is a little war game, consisting of 6 turns, in which each side struggles to gain control over the majority of the 5 'key' areas of the capital.
		The mechanisms of the game are mature and well proportioned, even if fortune (the president) may distribute the wealth of the state very inequitably.

	La Revolution Francaise: Board Game Review
		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.
		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.

		The game cost me $35 (£18) on a recent trip to the States which is good value, and I understand it will be £24.95 when it appears here early in the new year.
		Boiled right down, there is a Diplomacy style game of political intrigue between the various senate factions and, running in tandem, the game system throws up historical events and problems to be tackled by the government as a whole.
		The first game will prove hard work and a post game re-read of the rules is absolutely essential, but the result should be a game you will want to return to.

		If we intended to have a game in which the player didn't have direct control of the units on the map, then we had better make sure that the people acted in a reasonable and somewhat predictable fashion.
		The game lost "buy-in" from people in the company as it became something that they were less interested in, or someone else's idea that they didn't really understand.
		In other words, the game and the maps were great for an open-ended, sandbox style of game, but were lacking in goal-oriented, problem-solving gameplay.

	Funagain Games: Junta
		Junta is the game of power, intrigue, money and revolution in an all too familiar banana republic.
		The board leaves something to be desired, as do the tokens (particularly the Demon-Strators) but the humor contained in every facet of the game, from the illustrations on the cards to the rulebook itself, more than make up for any shortcomings here.
		Board Game Geek is an incredible compilation of information about board and card games with many descriptions, photographs, reviews, session reports, and other commentary.

		Blue moon city is a strategic, collecting and building game, which gameplay lacks the depth of a game like Caylus, but which main asset is that it can be easily played within the hour.
		The result is platform game that looks more solid than most platformers (Oddworld also makes use of 3D techniques), and more detailed than most shooters (the camera is controlled, so more attention could be spend on a smaller area).
		Basically the game takes the form of a first-person shooter, but being a military simulation there are no armour or health power-ups to be found.

	Apple - Games - Republic: The Revolution
		Another was a fun board game I played in college called Junta, which is set in a banana republic where the aim is to embezzle as much money as possible while in power.
		Republic the Revolution is set in the fictional Soviet province Novistrana, which broke away from the mother country after the fall of the USSR and came under the rule of President Karasov, a democratically elected leader who is really a despot at heart.
		To unearth more about the game world, you may also want to look at the “official” Novistrana web site, where you can view the country’s vital stats, learn how to say a few things in the Novistranian language, and listen to one of President Karasov’s most famous speeches.

		A few company brainstorming sessions and a game or two of Junta, and we knew that we wanted to do a tongue-in-cheek political game.
		Unfortunately, we failed to realize at the time that everybody was carrying a slightly different picture in his head of what the final game would be.
		Some were envisioning the stab-your-neighbor, laugh-a-second antics of the Junta board game.

		The neatest part of the game is the central grid of sixteen squares.
		There are of course a whole load of event cards and board driven disasters - this is a 'roll the dice, move dobber round the board' game - that make the ride a little more choppy.
		Where the game scores, and I suspect falls short for the design team, is in the interaction suggested by the title.

	The Arabist » War on Terror: the board game
		So I’m eagerly signing up to order a copy of War on Terror, a controversial new British board game (it was recently branded as “sick” by the British press and a 7/7 survivor) that pits suicide bomber against neo-cons.
		Just so you know, the game is much more fun than suicide bombers vs. neo-cons.
		Seriously though, the whole point of the game is that you can be on either ’side’ and even on both at the same time.

		The feel is similar to the old board game Junta, but the game mechanics are better.
		The Tropico games aren't as addictive as the SimCity or Civilization series, but they do contain some of the best elements of both.
		This game is still in print, so you shouldn't have any problem finding it at your favorite software store.

		I did the additional design work for the 2nd edition of the game, and have added some player aid sheets and additional optional rules for both it and the 3rd edition of the game (a beautiful 'Euro' version of this classic published in 2002 by Phalanx).

		If there are more than 7 players, ignore the note next to the money deck area of the game board.
		Also, with 7+ players, each player begins the game with only 4 political cards, and may have no more than 5 in their hand.
		When things in the original game mention "Minister" only, they mean the MINISTER OF INTERNAL SECURITY and not the Minister of War or Foreign Minister.
