Banana Republika<\/a><\/h2>\n

Quick look by Moritz Eggert<\/p>\n

While clearly meant as a satire this is not nearly as fun as “Junta”, which actually
\nworks well as a game in contrast to this attempt at a game. The rules try to be funny, but are
\ninstead extremely confusing, the use of some cards – for example the jokers – is not explained
\nanywhere in the rules, not even on the cards themselves (!). Another rule just says “This card
\ncan do ANYTHING”, which is, if it is the only explanation, perhaps the solution to world
\nhunger but not a working concept in a game. One card says:” If you play this card you win and
\nthe game ends immediately”. Although this rule is rectified in the game rules it tempted our
\ngroup to do just that – end the game. This is basically “Mornington Crescent” disguised
\nas a board game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
