Diplomacy

Diplomacy is a strategic board game. Its main distinctions from most board war games is a negotiation phase (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players and forming beneficial strategies) and the absence of dice and other game elements that produce random effects. Game is set in Europe before the beginning of World War I. Each player controls the armed forces of a major European power. Each player aims to move his or her few starting units and defeat those of others to win possession of a majority of strategic cities and provinces marked as “supply centers” on the map; these supply centers allow players who control them to produce more units.
