SUMMARY
In Diplomacy, players embody one of Europe's seven "Great Powers" (Great Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Russia, or Turkey) in the years leading up to World War I. The game commences in the Spring of 1901, with players making moves in both Spring and Autumn each year. Military units are limited to armies and fleets, offering players strategic options such as moving into adjacent territories, supporting allied units in attacks or defense, or holding position. Through written orders, players dictate the actions of their units, with outcomes determined solely by the game's rules, devoid of random chance. Renowned for its straightforward movement mechanics combined with substantial negotiation elements, Diplomacy holds high regard among gaming enthusiasts.

Diplomacy is a fun World War One game where military forces invade and withdraw, shifting borders and altering empires. Build alliances or become a traitor as you plot to gain control over the continent. The Diplomacy board game is not just a game of chance, but involves being clever, cunning, and much strategy.

HOW TO WIN
How to Win
As soon as one Great Power controls 18 supply centers, it's considered to have gained control of Europe. The player representing that Great Power is the winner. However, players can end the game by agreement before a winner is determined. In this case, all players who still have pieces on the game board share equally in a draw.

This is a hugely amusing and entertaining game, especially if beer is involved. The guy who breaks the most promises to other players usually wins. Definitely a game of strategy, with no dice to mess you up with bed rolls.
