Diplomacy
Conquer Europe through diplomacy¸ negotiation¸ and stategyAlter: 12-99 Spieler: 3-7 The premise is simple: conquer Europe through diplomacy¸ negotiation¸ and stategy. It is the turn of the century and seven Great Powers of Europe are gathered around the negotiation table. Whom do you trust? What do you promise? When do you strike out on your own? Do you stab your ally before you are stabbed first? In Diplomacy¸ there is a period of negotiation¸ followed by a order-writing phase and only the written orders matter. There is no luck in Diplomacy. No dice. No randomness. Only the ability to manipulate friends¸ outguess enemies¸ and persuade neutrals. The new boardgame features all metal pieces for Fleets and Armies and comes with markers to identify which power controls which supply centers. The board has been gorgeously repainted and the rulebook has been rewritten with color examples to make rule adjudication simpler.
