Junta Board Game

About this product

A bold political satire board game of power, money, deals and dramatic table betrayals.

A curated Afrishon World pick for adult game nights, negotiation-heavy play and players who enjoy sharp strategy with dark humour.

Scheme, negotiate, vote, bluff and survive political chaos as each family tries to stash the most money in their Swiss Bank Account.

Product Description

Junta is a classic political satire board game set in the fictional República de las Bananas, where powerful families compete for influence, money and control. Players vote for a President, assign cabinet roles, divide foreign aid, make secret deals, choose hidden locations and may even trigger a coup when politics gets a little too “spicy”. The winner is the player who hides the most money in their Swiss Bank Account by the end of the game.

Why you’ll love it

• Two styles of play in one box — the political card game can suddenly turn into a strategic coup game on the board.
• Secret money and hidden locations — pocket money, Swiss Bank Accounts and location choices keep everyone guessing.
• Great for loud game nights — ideal for players who enjoy table talk, bluffing and dramatic “I trusted you!” moments.
