At the turn of the 20th century, before the outbreak of World War I, the seven Great European Powers are locked in a complex battle for dominance. Military forces invade and retreat, shifting borders and transforming empires through subtle maneuvers and bold strategies.

Alliances are forged and trust is tested as players negotiate and outmaneuver each other, balancing cooperation and competition to achieve continental supremacy. Diplomacy challenges players to use their own cunning and skill, rather than dice, to influence the outcome of this game of intrigue and conquest.

Featuring 140 updated wooden meeples to represent fleets and armies, this classic game now includes new quick start rules, enhancing the experience of strategy, negotiation, and betrayal!
