Vintage 1982 2nd retailer Edition Diplomacy Bookshelf Board Game by Avalon Hill - Plastic Pieces Still Sealed

For your consideration -

This is a complete vintage 1982 second edition of the board game Diplomacy. This game was produced by Avalon Hill as one of their popular bookshelf games. The game is unplayed with its game pieces still sealed in a plastic bag. There is just a little scuff on the back of the board. Take a look at the photos.

About the history of the game -

Diplomacy is an American strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in the United States in 1959. The game's main distinctions from most board wargames are its negotiation phases (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players and forming beneficial strategies)and the absence of dice and other game elements that produce random effects.

Set in Europe in the years leading to the Great War, Diplomacy is played by two to seven players, each controlling the armed forces of a major European power (or, with fewer players, multiple powers). Each player aims to move retailer their few starting units and defeat those of others to win possession of a majority of strategic cities and provinces marked as "supply centers" on the map; these supply centers allow players who control them to produce more units. Following each round of player negotiations, each player can issue attack and support orders, which are then executed during the movement phase. A player takes control of a province when the number of provinces that are given orders to support the attacking province exceeds the number of provinces given orders to support the defending province.
