Diplomacy – The Most Evil Board Game Ever Made – is full of plots, tense confrontations, cunningness, betrayal, and backstabbing. Watch the world burn, hoping the wolves cannot collectively dismantle the turtle. Take control over one of seven countries at the outset of the World War I (England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the Ottoman Empire/Turkey) and lead it to victory! Although the aim is victory, it is not possible to achieve it without cooperation with other players; hence, the game involves all real-world negotiating techniques, like promises, threats, and ultimatums. You will learn things about yourself that you have never imagined to experience. The game will challenge you to ask yourself who you really are, what are you willing to do and what are you willing to sacrifice to attain desired objectives.
