I am proud to bring you another post on my second-hand findings that have all been found at one of the two Bookmans locations that I visit.
The game I am writing about this week was found at the Bookmans on Grant and Campbell. The game is no longer available through regular retail outlets, online there is a copy available for the amount that I payed for it at Bookmans, $15.
"Junta" (pronounced whoon-ta) was a game that was originally created in 1978 by Vincent Tsao. In 1985 the game was put out by West End Games.
Ben Grossman and Eric Goldberg redesigned the game.
The game I got was missing the three dice, but those are easy enough to replace. The weird thing was that the cards and money looked used, but none of the counters were punched out. Makes me wonder if it was Frankensteined, uh oh well.
The box was in fair condition as well. However, the Bookmans on Grant should really get a shrink-wrap machine or if they already have one they need to use it on the board games. All they do to seal the boxes is put packaging tape on all four sides of the box.
I am not a fan of this because it destroys the integrity of the box. Granted I intend on playing the game, but there is a collectors market and to me that takes away from the value of the game.
