Title: Diplomacy (online version of classic boardgame)
Post by: suicidal_monkey on May 29, 2020, 11:43:52 PM
Started playing this with some colleagues at work. Online version of an old board game based on WW1-ish Europe. Very basic piece movement. Think Risk but replace chance with ability to persuade others to work with you or against eachother. Orders are only adjudicated once a day and you spend most of the time trying to work out who is about to turn on you and how to keep them all squabbling while you build up some power. Can be pretty vicious :devil:

The board game of this has destroyed life long friendships   as you can completely betray your mates to win.  Which is part of the game
