About Diplomacy

Diplomacy is possibly the best board game ever invented. In the standard game of Diplomacy, you take control of one of the major European powers in the year 1901. Your objective is to gain 18 supply centers and be the sole winner of the game. The fun is in the fact that you cannot do so without the help of the other players. Each turn is preceded by a round of negotiations in which you try to convince other players to give movement orders that support you, while they do the same. If you can convince them to support you and not to stab you in the back while you are busy elsewhere on the board, you can win the game.

My plans for this page are to link to my favorite Diplomacy sites (which I can do now) and link to any games I run in the future.

House Rules

For all games I run, I have a set of house rules. Note that these rules will be updated, so check the revision date with the copy you already have.

Games I Run

I'm currently running one Diplomacy game by email.
