Mine has metal counters ;-( would prefer wooden ones.

I have the boardgame, but not one that has wooden blocks... Mine has tin cannons as armies, tin ships as fleets, and little flag markers to identify who controls a supply center.

Metal or other counters can be considered in the "boardgame"... I just didn't know it was existing... Do you have an internet link to that version ?

It came with plastic pieces.

I have the stars and anchors bookcase version, which is worse than the wooden blocks but definitely better than cardboard armies and fleets.

I have this one: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/148346/diplomacy

I have four versions, three "standard", one Colonial. Two with wooden blocks (including the Colonial box) and two with plastic tokens from the seventies. :^0

I have a 70's edition. Wooden block pieces with this board: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1289833/diplomacy

But I don't know a single person IRL who plays diplomacy, so I don't think I've ever used it! 100% of my gameplay is online... Is face-to-face better, or just different??

You cut me out Kench :( I believe this is discrimination against only webDiplomacy-ers

I started playing for a couple years only doing the boardgame version as there was a group of ~10 of us who loved to play. We moved to the online version later. I prefer the boardgame, it's just a lot of fun and you can read people's reactions more in person. Only downside is you need to have something for the others who get out early to do otherwise it becomes a distraction to finishing the game. The games usually got called before all 18 scs were captured when it seemed obvious who was going to win. Highly recommend trying boardgame version

The board game has some extra dynamics (keeping a straight face, reading other people's, see who's talking, etc) but is tougher to organise because you need several hours at a stretch.

I bought my set partly on the principle of paying the copyright owner. I have never played with it but I have GM'ed several times for a group of my son's friends.

I got the board game when I was in eighth grade. At the time my friends and I were really into "war strategy" type stuff, so we cared much more naming our alliances, and the board and pieces than the actual gameplay. I even got my mom (my Mom is the best) to make copies of the map and laminate them so that when we went and negotiated we could draw our plans on the maps with dry erase markers.
