T.E.G. (Plan Táctico y Estratégico de la Guerra) is an argentinian version of Risk which first appeared in 1976, just the year this movie is set in. The game is played on a couple of scenes by Harry (Matías del Pozo) and his father David (Ricardo Darín), who always win, and it has a very special meaning in the movie. Its title comes precisely from the game´s territory which Harry can´t take from David in their second play.
There is a very nostalgic scene where father and son stands at a toyshop window and we can see several board games, one of them T.E.G. However, it seems they own the game since earlier.
As a personal anecdote, I must say I first learned the name "Kamchatka" precisely from my fist plays to Risk many decades ago.
