Players take the roles of corrupt members of a ruling junta in a banana republic, competing to embezzle foreign aid and secure personal power. Each round brings income from an external sponsor, then players allocate funds, buy influence, hire hitmen, bribe voters, and stage coups to replace the President. Gameplay centers on hand management and tactical card play as players plan simultaneous actions, react to other players’ moves, and resolve conflicts that can include assassination, sabotage, and vote manipulation. Victory goes to the player who deposits the most money into their Swiss bank account by game end.

    Kind of Party Game with politic stuff, but depends very much on look and has some broken mechanics. Could be funny but it could last very long for the enjoyment it gives.
