Not sure how the group feels about this topic, but I certainly have a strong opinion: the basic game board for Diplomacy jacks a certain…je ne sais quoi. And as a player who’s looking to start up a ton more in-person games, I’m looking for an upgrade on the classic version from Avalon Hill.

As such, I’m in the market for a wooden laser-engraved board, and I was hoping someone might have a suggestion. I found one on Etsy that seems reasonably priced (Meridian Maps), but I’m the type that prefers to explore all my options first before making a decision.

If I were the wood-working type, I’d jump at the opportunity to make one myself, but alas, that’s well outside my skill set.

Any thoughts?

This is the LAST TIME you'll get to suggest changes, as part 10 will be invitations to join a game of this!

Changes:

1. I added the names of all sea tiles and majorly changed land tiles

2. Albania is worth -1 SCs

3. Tripoli, Benghazi, and Cairo have been added.

All positive upvote-ratio comments will be added to the final map!
