The Board Game of the Alpha Nerds

The Board Game of the Alpha Nerds is the interesting (hi)story of Diplomacy, the legendary strategy game (ancestor of games like Risk and Dungeons & Dragon). Starting from the 60's when it was played via mail, David Hill tells what the game is about and what it means to those who have been playing the game for over 40 years.


"If you’ve ever heard of Diplomacy, chances are you know it as “the game that ruins friendships.” It’s also likely you’ve never finished an entire game. That’s because Diplomacy requires seven players and seven or eight hours to complete."
