[QUOTE="payn, post: 9367024, member: 90374"] A few things, Diplomacy can take a[I] long[/I] time to play. I'd discuss that with your friends. One thing you can do is set a timer for each turn that lasts 5-10min so turns dont drag on. The pros of this is it ensures that a lot of turns happen. The con is it gets chaotic as you race around the house/store/play area talking to all the other players. You could also play naturally and if you dont finish, record positions, and pick it up again next time. Obviously, the con here is folks need to be on board and not get bogged down in lost momentum from session to session. I do really think the ideal way to play is via internet site like playdiplomacy.com. Turn clocks can be whatever you want, but I found 24 hour clocks to be pretty good. This allows folks to work, hang with family, get stuff done and engage the game when they have time. You can also have as detailed or not messages passed via email.
