This is a primarily black-and-white print of three figures in a mountainous landscape. On the left side of the composition, a figure in a shirt, pants, shoes, and hat is seated with their back to the wall. The figure to his right has his back to the viewer and is dressed similarly to the seated person. The person is looking around the side of the wall and pointing a gun. There’s another figure to the right who is standing in a barrel with his back to the audience. His hand is raised with a blue water balloon in his hand. To the left of the barrel, there’s a small bucket of multicolored water balloons. In the lower register of the print, there’s the outline of two Mayan ballcourts on the left and right sides. In the center, there’s a torso with hands outstretched and four snakes emerging from the neck area. The words “El Juego Peligroso”, “1/20”, and “Marco Hernandez” are written below the print.
