I wish I had known about this game in college. Getting 7 adults together for 8+ hours is nearly impossible now. I got to play this with 7 people exactly once.

I got to play this with 7 people exactly once. It was amazing.
- wombatpm 6y agoIt’s a great game to play with people you no longer want to be friends with
- wes-k 6y agoYou can play it stretched out and remote. Make orders due every Wednesday and Saturday. Gives everyone ample time to talk and scheme with everybody.
- snarf21 6y agoReach out to me, I've designed a card based version that plays 3-6 and about 15 minutes per player. It is super solid but I'd always love more feedback.
- Crye 6y agoCheckout backstabbr. It's a web based version of the game and allows a lot more asynchronous playing. It also allows you to remain anonymous which helps with biases and super judicial alliances.
- qznc 6y agoDoes Backstabbr have variants? I like vdiplomacy because it has lots of variants: https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php https://vdiplomacy.com/variants.php It uses the more old-school webdiplomacy interface but I'm fine with the dropboxes.
- LasEspuelas 6y agoFor those on Android, check the conspiracy app. It includes about half a dozen variants as well, ranging from 2 players (cold war) to 15 (known World 901). Great platform to play.
- joe_the_user 6y agoYou really only need 5 people. I haven't played with seven very often and I didn't find it improved the play much, if at all. Just as much, if you set a hard 15 minute time limit, you get the play down to 4-5 hours (especially if you also say victory is preponderance on the board, not total elimination of all other players).
- xpe 6y agoI have mostly played with seven. 7x6 interaction pairs = 42. That's twice as much as 5x4=20.
