Cunning, deceit, and betrayal -  just a few of the attributes you will need to succeed at 'Diplomacy', the game of international intrigue!

'Diplomacy' is possibly the ultimate strategy board game. Each player represents one of the great European powers prior to World War I, a time when the continent was a complex cauldron of political stratagems and maneuvers. Your armies and fleets can dominate Europe, but only with the co-operation of your neighbors. Never forget, they are all trying to expand their territory, too - and you could be the target!

Luck plays no part in 'Diplomacy' - there are no dice or cards involved the game at all. An integral part of the game is the period of 'diplomacy' that takes place prior to each turn, where players have an opportunity to forge alliances, spread rumors, leak information, and betray their allies! The best negotiator will guide his country to victory over both enemies and friends. Who will you trust?
