Junta
Players portray rival families vying for influence in a fragile banana republic. Each turn players draw cards, the sitting President assigns roles, foreign aid is collected, and the President proposes a budget that the table votes on while discretionary money may be skimmed. Players choose locations and may attempt assassinations by guessing where rivals will be; survivors can deposit cash in their Swiss bank account, which determines the winner when money runs out. If tensions erupt, a coup can be triggered and factions fight for control of five power centers, after which control determines whether the President remains or is replaced.

Jan Solo5.0 Familias tratan de hacerse millonarias en una república bananera. Politiqueo, revolución, asesinados y complots. Admite muchos jugadores aunque es un juego de larga duración.
Garfield2.0 32 Too complicated rules that you have to remember. And a lot of comments saying it takes over 3 hours, most probably 5hours. And it needs 5-7 players. I think I will never bring it to the table.
Arensivia9.0 Money. Stabs. Fun.
