Africa 1880<\/a><\/h2>\n

Quick look by Moritz Eggert<\/p>\n

A Diplomacy variant that doesn’t really come off the board in atmosphere. The pretty limited
\n(in spaces) map makes early conflict and unfair losses very likely, and after two turns some
\nplayers will already be pretty much behind, with little chance to recover. Well, this could be said
\nabout “Diplomacy” as well, I guess… Trying to bring some order to the possible
\nalliances via alliance tokens doesn’t really help either but rather confuses. I’ve heard
\nthis was created to lure youngsters into Diplomacy like wargames – apparently it hasn’t been a
\nhuge success in this respect.<\/p>\n
