Do you want to play a deep, strategic game where the winner isn't determined by spreadsheets but by negotiation?
Do you enjoy a relaxed turn pace but wish your games wouldn’t last for a year and a half?
Do you like tactical puzzles but think they’d be even more interesting if you only had to think about 3 units?
Then I have the game for you! Diplomacy!
Diplomacy is a wargame set right before World War One. Seven players take command of the Great Powers of Europe and wrestle for dominance. And here’s the catch: starting from turn 0, there is not a single element of chance in the game. To gain an advantage, you must work with and against your fellow players in coalition.
If you’ve never heard of Diplomacy, you’re in for a treat! If you have heard of Diplomacy (and c’mon, you’re on a gaming forum), you’re likely wondering, “Wait a minute. I thought Diplomacy was a board game.”
And right you are! But thanks to an amazing webclient (backstabbr.com), you can play Diplomacy anywhere you have internet, whether PC or mobile, at work or on the toilet.
And for those of you who know Diplomacy, look at how clean the interface is:
(Don’t worry, new players! You only control 1 nation, so you only have to move a tiny handful of units.)
Backstabbr also supports turn timers, so we can keep turns to 24 hours. It is smart enough to roll the turn early when everyone clicks Done but also smart enough to not screw up the timer so the turn windows get impossible. And on top of all that, it supports anonymity: if you’ve established a dastardly reputation across these forums, no worries. Other players will just know you as “England” or “Russia” or whatever.
There’s also some sort of Discord integration, but I’m a Discord amateur.
So come on in. The water’s fine.
The game needs seven:
1. naufragar
2. Pindicator
3. Chevalier Mal Fet
4.
5.
6.
7.
