I saw that headline on Stratfor and immediately thought the Japanese Prime Minister was betting his political future on the outcome of the game Diplomacy that Avalon Hill publishes.
Which of course led into the thought of settling the entire Middle East fiasco over a game of Diplomacy. Never mind that the game is set in World War One-era Europe.
It’s a great game. Been around for a long time, and has a lot of fans out there.
