No, seriously.

I'm ordering mine as soon as I get home.
I :lulz: @ Mosqopoly a bit too.
Thought I'd share.
"You haven't dismantled your MS stockpile."
"PAKISTAN IS THREATENING MY BORDER!"
Can't find it in the US :argh!:
:(
Or I could just check google shopping instead of relying on the people who made the game to have any idea who sells it. :oops:
Buying this shit.
I love backstabby games.
You would be better off selling Amway. Backstabbing with a profit.

Sometimes it's just FUN to pull horrible shit on your friends.
Risk, Diplomacy, and Illuminati: These are a few of my favorite things.

Also, Settlers of Kataan. I didn't like the idea of a game without combat rules, until the first time I cornered the market on resources everyone else desperately needed.
Also, the phrase "I have wood for sheep" came up in a trading phase. I don't think that can be topped.
Dok,
Brick Nazi.
Stuff like that banned me from playing boardgames with my family.
Diplomacy basically explains the entirety of WWI, in an acid dream shared by von Metternich, Machiavelli and Kissinger.

FUCK YES, DIPLOMACY.
Might actually be a game we could get up on the boards too, considering its
pretty much completely diceless we'd just have to agree on a time frame for stuff like Diplomacy phase, and it would be easy enough to download/print off world maps.
If I can get a gig here next year teaching IR, which is very possible, I'm going to devote one lesson per three week session to that game.
I've found it difficult to get sessions of that game going IRL, because for the most part amongst my board-game friends its not as accessible as stuff like Carcassonne or Catan, that and its hard to get a full group for the game. I do admire the sheer elegance of that games system, and I think the idea of a blind combat/movement system is sheer genius.
A couple of my friends and I have developed a system for playing blind Axis & Allies, involving three separate game boards and an intermediary, and while its a lot of fun... its rather clunky, incredibly time consuming, and generally not feasible to do.
There has to be an online version of diplomacy already...
