¿Question #5477?
Freejack: Isn't Diplomacy one of the most simple and cutthroat games out there?

oriecat: true story
imyourskribe: Haven't played it. Don't know. Let's play it and end our friendship, which is what I understand happens.
Phil Fleischmann: Yep
Woelf: Probably
pwilz: It sure is.
Spirit of 70: Yes.
Corran Horn: I haven't played it yet, so I can't really say.
Sentieiro: No.
Geosmores: I believe it is up there
DHEK: I think so, from what I hear... though I've never played this game before.
Leo-T: yes
Chris Page: Simple only in the way Go is "simple." I'll give you most cutthroat, though.
ZiggyZambo: yes
greglios: Never played it
W Eric Martin: Haven't tried it yet.
brainrob: Never played - too long and boring
e.c.r.: no
SisyphusX: Yes, it is. It's always the hallmark of a truly "avoid" game that most people tell you not to play it with friends.
nexttothemoon: Never played it.
miyazakigrognard: Yes. But Machiavelli is better.
ststrat: hell yeah, hence the perfection
KDSN: yeah...>:)
deacondavid: Yes, it is. Never play it with family or close friends who are sensitive.
bigbadsteve: i would say so
jellospike: Probably. Never played it. Don't wish to.
fFish: it's pretty savage. I refuse to play it.
scriptorum: I'd agree with that.
Famous Mortimer: Yeah, I could go with that.
skrutsch: I've never played.
SgtTodd: Duh?
chrisisapimp: i dont like it
Favre4MVP: Don't know. I've never played it.
POvidiusNaso: Sounds like it.
skelebone: Probably.
heli: but quite flawed in my book
chaddyboy_2000: Sure.
Lord_Prussian: I suppose. I don't enjoy the backstabbing and try to avoid it at all costs.
jttm: Sure
ssmooth: Out of simplicity, as any Go player will agree, can grow great complexity. As for "cutthroat," you can win without stabbing, but you can't win without allies, so I'll bet there are games more cutthroat.
CDRodeffer: Yes, it is.
