If you get mad playing risk, NEVER play Diplomacy

This week, Meta launched an open source Diplomacy-playing AI called Cicero. So now our computers can get mad and punch out brothers for us.

Never heard of this before, but Neptune's Pride has a similar vibe, specifically like playing Diplomacy PBP. It's all alliances and backstabbing, and it takes many IRL hours for ships to move between star systems and for research to happen. Games can potentially last a month. Playing it with people you know is a nightmare since real life continues on as you all erode each other's trust.

Sweet! I'm a board game fan and this is right up my alley. Nice to have a web-based option
