Is there a shorter version of Diplomacy one could use to introduce people to the game and its concepts?

- tempestn 5y agoSome possibilities here: https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/31753/short-term-diplomacy-rules-shorter-game https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/31753/short-term-diplomac... I'm not sure how well they'd give people the idea of the full game though. I suppose a better approach might be to take them through a game replay and talk about the strategy and likely communications going on throughout. Even less likely than finding a group of friends willing to sit through a game of Diplomacy would be finding a group willing to sit through a lengthy explanation of the game rather than just jumping in though, so I guess that's likely not such a good suggestion after all.
