A few days ago I bought a 1976 version of the board game Diplomacy off eBay because I remember playing it in junior high and having a lot of fun. Last night I had a few people over and played it again for the first time in years, and it was even better than I remembered! The only shortcoming was that we had six players instead of seven, so Italy was out of the game and the board was a bit skewed because of it. I'm definitely looking forward to playing again, though, and it seemed like everyone really had a good time.
For lots of information and strategy, check out the Diplomacy Archive.
Diplomacy is a great game, unfortunately I can't get enough people interested in playing.
Got a lot of people here who seem interested, we're having to turn them away!
I've heard that England allied with Russia is unstoppable.
BB: The great thing about Diplomacy is that no one or two countries is really "unstoppable". It's possible that there is an "unstoppable" three-country alliance, but it's doubtful that it could hold together.
