I love love love Diplomacy but will never ever play it with people I care about. This game is "the breakup". If you want to win you basically have to lie and betray. Trust is easy to break and hard to gain.

That's funny, I sort of feel similarly about Settlers of Catan lol.

Taught that game a few years ago to my Boston friends (back when I lived in Boston) and it ended up being a big hit and I never won a game again.

I'm too nice, I guess.

Not sure if relevant but the guy who tended to win the most now heads a multimillion-dollar company. So there's that...
