User Reviews:
|  Diplomacy
A brilliant game for a few reasons.
Luck is very low as there are no dice and it decides things by a clever equal power method. Luck always causes arguments if things go wrong because of what a die says for example.
It is not very complex when you know what everything does, it is simple and effective.
The most interesting part is the making of pacts and treaties between players and the breaking of them; but at school when all the same people play you have reputation to account for.
Like chess it involves predicting all the possible moves your opponents could make but also detecting lies from your allies.
An interesting game of logic and thought which must be developing for the brain when played.
There are all sorts of things you can do when moving armies, strategies and opening moves to think of. You can convoy and come round the sides or lie to opponents.
You don't need to know much about much as it is largely based on logic and persuasive powers.
It has that aspect of interest as the board is the real world and you can say, 'oh, i've invaded russia', it's very gripping if you like that sort of thing. When you are winning you really feel satisfaction if you enjoy the game.
Overall it's great and should be played more like chess and draughts.

I played this in a classroom setting, which suited it well-because this game takes a LONG time, and relies heavily on player interactions. This game, in contrast to RISK, takes very little luck-but a HUGE amount of negotiation, trust, and brilliant strategies. It takes place in WWI era Europe, and with 7 powers, it is an exciting game. Set aside A LOT of time to play it-but fear not, it is the pinnacle of strategy, backstabbing, allies, and bitter rivalry's. Possible the greatest classic strategy game of all time.
