Gibsons Diplomacy Game

Product Description

Diplomacy is the truly classic game of strategy for today's sophisticated games players. This award winning game of political intrigue & military power in Imperial Europe, is the ultimate game of pure tactical skill. No dice & no luck
- double dealing, deception & danger dogs every move. In the game, players represent one of the seven Great Powers of Europe (Great Britain, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Russia or Turkey) in the years prior to World War I. Play begins in the Spring of 1901, & players make both Spring & Autumn moves each year. There are only two kinds of military units: armies & fleets. On any given turn, each of your military units has limited options: they can move into an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in an attack on an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in defending an adjoining territory, or hold their position. Players instruct each of their units by writing a set of orders. The outcome of each turn is determined by the rules of the game. There are no dice rolls or other elements of chance. With its incredibly simplistic movement mechanics fused to a significant negotiation element, this system is highly respected by many a gamer. Diplomacy is suitable for 2-7 players aged 12 years & over, with a playing time of 3 hrs +.
