Junta: Las Cartas
Welcome back to the beautiful island of the "República de las Bananas"! While the rest of the world is spinning faster and faster, this place has become the last bastion of the old (dis)order: the island’s peasants are still poor, its intellectuals oppressed, and there is no such thing as a middle class, except on paper. Occasional gunfire echoes through the night, and a bloodsucking junta rules over the country whose members—the players—have nothing better to do than filling up their pockets with money.

What is Junta: Las Cartas
Welcome back to the beautiful island of the "República de las Bananas"! While the rest of the world is spinning faster and faster, this place has become the last bastion of the old (dis)order: the island’s peasants are still poor, its intellectuals oppressed, and there is no such thing as a middle class, except on paper. Occasional gunfire echoes through the night, and a bloodsucking junta rules over the country whose members—the players—have nothing better to do than filling up their pockets with money. And above all that, as always, is the peaceful chirping of crickets...
You are members of the eponymous Junta of the "República de las Bananas". The government is supported by a global superpower that asks no questions and delivers large checks of foreign aid money each round. The player who most efficiently fills up his pockets with that money, i.e. who deposits the most in his Swiss bank account, wins the game. In the meantime, you are plotting against each other, buying votes, hiring assassins, blowing up buildings— and, from time to time, starting a coup against the current President to hopefully become the new President.
Junta: Las Cartas is a card game based on Junta that differs from the earlier such card game Junta: Viva el Presidente!
