WHICH GAME IS GAMIEST

I have bad associations with both of these games, mostly because they were highly touted by the creepy paramilitary nazi dude who took over my favorite hangout coffeeshop & ran it straight into the ground. fucker.

We had to play Axis and Allies in AP European History since we had a month after the exam before the school year ended. Ugh.

diplomacy is easier to pick up than axis & allies

― El Tomboto, Monday, 25 August 2008 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

well that's close to 200.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 25 August 2008 22:04 (eighteen years ago)

Diplomacy has much more friendship ruining potential than A&A.

― nickalicious, Monday, 25 August 2008 22:51 (eighteen years ago)

I love both!
