Maybe I heard incorrectly, but I heard that Game of Thrones board game was basically a Diplomacy rip-off?
Can somebody comment on that? So if you guys like it
you should sign up in the Diplomacy thread, we just need two-ish more! Or possibly I could be convinced to play this instead, I do love me some GoT.
More to the point, if it is anything like Diplomacy, I imagine it would work even better on a forum than in person. Although there's a lot of fun to be had with Diplomacy in sneaking off to back rooms and taking shots after every round, it really works better mechanically online...perfect privacy, longer times to wheel and deal and think things through, and nothing to worry about in the logistics of playtime, early eliminations, and so forth. The fact that supports are involved doesn't slow down the game at all, considering that all moves are revealed simultaneously.
