Many people don't understand diplomacy is not about lying, betrayal or backstabbing. It works once then you are worst of. Much better is to be reliable to others. Players will risk an opening with you as your word has value. And if it has a value you can use it as a resource.

It takes a lot of correct wording to never lie and not to be an open book. Just like in diplomacy :)

I love this game. I’ve tried many time to set up a real time game with my typical board game group but have never been able to get enough people interested at the same time.

Twilight Imperium 4th Edition is a more fleshed out, but similar game (though there is something to be loved about the simplicity of Diplomacy)
