Diplomacy

Europe, just before the First World War. Seven great powers face each other and everyone wants to rule the continent. In Diplomacy you step into the shoes of such a great power. You move armies, sail fleets and try to gain more territory bit by bit. No dice, no luck. Only your own insight and powers of persuasion decide how far you get. The heart of this game lies in the conversations. You form alliances, make deals and forge plans together with other players. But trust is fragile. Whoever is your friend today may invade your territory tomorrow. It is exactly that tension between working together and betraying one another that makes every round special. At the table there is whispering, negotiating and sometimes plenty of bluffing. This is a game for a long evening, with a playing time of about six hours and room for two to seven players. In the box you will find a beautiful game board, 140 wooden pieces for armies and fleets, country tokens and a handy starter guide so you can begin quickly. Diplomacy is a classic you will not forget soon, especially not with the right friends at the table.
