In the game, players represent one of the seven "Great Powers of Europe" (Great Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Russia or Turkey) in the years prior to World War I. Each power has both an army and a naval fleet and on each turn players can instruct their units to one of the following: move into an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in an attack on an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in defending an adjoining territory, or hold their position. The orders must be written down and then executed with the outcome determined by the rules of the game, i.e. no dice rolls or other elements of chance.
Diplomacy's impetus on negotiation, along with the absence of luck or chance determining outcomes, has won the game many plaudits over the years. It remains a highly respected board game and a must-have for fans of the genre.
