A Beginner Guide to Diplomacy

Diplomacy is a game about conquering Europe as one of the main belligerents of the first world war. While it may on a first glance somewhat resemble Risk, the two are very different; most notably by the complete lack of random chance as well as by the fact that turns are all made simultaneously (the consequences of which will soon be made apparent). Keep in mind however that the true game of Diplomacy is played not on the map, but in the social interactions and minds of your fellow players. You will of course need to know how to navigate the map so as to figure out what possibilities you have (and to avoid being tricked).
