I had one about 50% done when I was informed vDip wouldn't host one.

@goldfinger yes that was me, and I'm really enjoying it :)
@chaqa/goldfinger well, that's a shame :(

There it is if youre interested

There is the GoT board game, which is loosely based on Diplomacy. It has a lot more rules for no clear reason, and the support mechanic is broken (one army can support multiple attacks per phase, as long as your support isn't cut).

Learn the extra rules, use your Diplomacy knowledge to win every game.

@Chaqa you did a good job man it looks pretty good
@ATC but I need soulless bastards to actually play it with :(

The board game has a few editions, i think i only played the first one, and while it has a base mechanic very similar to diplomacy, it has a lot more.

There are 3 tracks, one of which is supply centres (castles), the other two are probably iron throne and gold... (That sounds wrong... But something similar)

You get a deck of cards, and can add a number to the strenght of you attacking or defending force (thecards have characters from the books on them, so jamie lannister might be the 4 of Lannisters in that deck) so instea of 1vs1 bounces, you can hve 1+4 vs 1+3... And when you have used all your cards you refresh the deck... But until then you will know what cards your opponent has left...

Also there are wildlings threatening tue north, and it takes a collective effort to fight them off. If nobody bothers they overwhelm the seven kingdoms and everyone loses...

Lots of nice blind auction style play, where you bet resources to take different powers...

Overall, i highly recommend it, though i haven't played it in a long while (since before i read the books or saw the show...)

I have played that game of thrones bordgame a few times (one of my friends owns it) and its a lot of fun.

It's a fantastic boardgame. The problem is, it takes a long time.

I have considered playing GoT the boardgame, but gunboat, no talking. Has anyone tried this?

I'd love to play the board game, but you'd need a group of people who are well versed on the rules and preferably are experienced Diplomacy players (are we 'Diplomats'?) Just so it doesn't take forever. I've never played diplomacy face to face, but I love being able to take my sweet time here on Webdip. In addition, the computer resolves all the movement instantly, and working out the more complex combat in real time takes a while. I wish ffg made an online version so we could play it just like we play webdip.
