About Colonial Diplomacy
This is a different version of the original The Avalon Hill Game Co classic, Diplomacy. Players represent one of the colonial countries (France, UK, Holland, etc.) sparring over the lands and riches of the Far East. There are only two kinds of units: sea and land. On a turn, each of your units has only a few options: hold in place, move into an adjoining territory or help another unit move into or defend an adjoining territory. Movement mechanics are incredibly simple and fused to a significant negotiation element. Re-implements: Diplomacy
