Banana Republika
Quick look by Moritz Eggert
While clearly meant as a satire this is not nearly as fun as “Junta”, which actually
works well as a game in contrast to this attempt at a game. The rules try to be funny, but are
instead extremely confusing, the use of some cards – for example the jokers – is not explained
anywhere in the rules, not even on the cards themselves (!). Another rule just says “This card
can do ANYTHING”, which is, if it is the only explanation, perhaps the solution to world
hunger but not a working concept in a game. One card says:” If you play this card you win and
the game ends immediately”. Although this rule is rectified in the game rules it tempted our
group to do just that – end the game. This is basically “Mornington Crescent” disguised
as a board game.
