When did Diplomacy come out?


  • I saw a 1961 version on eBay with A&A and 2 other games in the lot up for auction! Golly gee willikers!!


  • 1961?
    …wow… who would have imagined that it is that old…
    quality never ages … or only very slowly


  • Why, thank you, F_alk!

  • For that matter, anyone know when Risk first came out? :)

  • The people here probably rather take pride in mispelling french than in spelling it correctly ;)

    French? geez, as if the world has already gone nuts…

    No, bad spelling drives me insane. I just take pride in making fun of the French. :)


  • My dad has some CRAZY old diplomacy game, I think it must be made in the 60s, I’ll check sometime how old it is.

    i was being silly
    when i DO try French, usually my spelling is not the problem (my grammer on the other hand . . . )


  • I believe the first printing of Diplomacy was in 1959.

    Great game. I run PBEM games using a free adjudicator called JDip. IMO it is a better game by email then live. In PBEM you not only don’t know what moves are coming you don’t even know who is making deals. Very fun.

    Look here for an example of the maps JDip kicks out.
