Description
Imagine a world where the peaceful unity of Australia's colonies never came to be, and instead, war broke out among them. This is the world of Diplomacy: Federation Variant, a game where you get to rewrite the nation's history. As the governor of your colony, you must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries between the different colonies, all vying for control of the continent. With eight players taking on the roles of different colonies, the game is a thrilling mix of strategy, negotiation, and bluffing. In this variant of the classic Diplomacy game, you'll need to use all your tactical skills and diplomatic prowess to outmaneuver your opponents and emerge victorious.
