Diplomacy is a fun parlor game, and was also played mail style where the moves get delivered and the results get posted. I've played both ways, though the Mail version we did was just having a ref who collected our next move and posted the results on a xerox. I think we did around three moves a week and included barbs (insults) to be published in the posting. They mentioned Gary Gygax was inspired by their modification where they chose to play the board game Diplomacy while adding on acting in personas as they negotiated and played the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_(game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_(game)
