In the background, several other historical figures in ornate attire observe the interaction, hinting at the political intrigue of the era. The title "Diplomacy: The Golden Blade" is prominently displayed at the top, emphasizing the game's focus on strategy and alliances.

Diplomacy: The Golden Blade is an all-new standalone card game for 2-7 players about to hit stores published by Renegade Game Studios.

Based upon the classic 1959 Diplomacy board game, that has probably ruined its fair share of friendships over the years, the new card game can be played by new players as well as veteran Diplomacy players, and features no player elimination. The game, recommended for ages 14+, takes around 15 minutes per player, so has a total play time of between 30 - 105 minutes.

Set in the prelude to World War I, the seven great European powers contend for supremacy, both with their military might and political maneuvering. In Diplomacy: The Golden Blade, players must choose and negotiate alliances carefully, knowing where to expand… and where to stab. Only the most cunning leader will emerge victorious as “The Golden Blade”.

Knife crime reaches the card table! @renegadegamestudios.com Diplomacy: The Golden Blade seats 2-7 players in pre-WWI Europe for alliances and inevitable betrayal. No player elimination which is good, because I can't afford to lose any more friends. Out May. #Diplomacy #bluffing
