In GLOBAL DIPLOMACY each player guides the destiny of one of the Great Powers of the late nineteenth century : Austria, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Ottoman Empire, Russia, Spain, Portugal and the USA.

Players must use their political skill and cunning as well as their military might (armies, corps, fleets and squadrons) to become the dominant global power. Whom do you trust? What do you promise? When do you strike out on your own? Do you stab your ally before you are stabbed first? There is no luck in Global Diplomacy. No randomness. Only the ability to manipulate friends, outguess enemies, and persuade neutrals.

This is a low complexity, introductory game. The average player would require about 30 minutes to prepare their turn orders.

Age of Discovery

Age of Discovery uses the same rules, but has a random map and startup positions for each game. Most of the map is initially unexplored.
