Diplomacy (5/7)
« on: February 02, 2018, 06:57:12 pm »

Diplomacy

Diplomacy is a startegy board game designed in 1954 and set in early 20th century Europe. The players take on the role of one of seven great powers--France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Russia, the United Kingdom, or the Ottoman Empire--and battle the other players for supremacy in Europe by capturing supply centers. It is practically impossible to win by yourself, and as such, the players must seek out alliances with one another. There are no rules, however, saying you cannot stab your allies in the back!

This PDF is the most recent edition of the rules. They're deceptively simple and designed to facilitate backstabbing and alliances, rather than the other way around. The game is well -balanced; although certain countries (Italy and Austria-Hungary, primarily) stand out as weaker and certain strategies (e.g. Ottoman-Russia alliance) are unusually strong, the game's focus on player diplomatic skill means even the most skilled of French strategists can be obliterated by a crafty Italian diplomat.
