Hah! I had this when I was little and it was called ‘Totopoly’ and the set was pretty old then, so it probably dated from the early 60s. Looks like the same game though.

Comment on Board Game of the Month: Diplomacy by eleonoraonline

Thanks for the comment Ian! I can imagine how the complexity of the rules can cause common frustration (it took us an hour before we decided we knew enough to at least start). But my initial discomfort at not knowing exactly what to do was quickly substituted by a different type of unease: “I got the hang of it now, but can’t get it to work”. Being a terrible liar doesn’t help!

I think it’s a fantastic board game, it’s basically a multiplayer (and vocal) version of chess. I’m just really not cut for it! On the other hand, there may be advantages to losing quickly: you can listening in on other people and observe the good players at work – it would be a bit like watching a thriller!
