Diplomacy is a three round swiss tourney at the Block Party. The Block Party is a part of the Central Schuffle and last year was a part of the North American Grand Prix. We have a plaque for the winner and traditional diplomacy awards.

The National Block Party is a mini-con that promotes the play of "block games". Diplomacy was the first game that many of us played that used blocks. We also have the traditional two player Block Games and some Euros that use wooden pieces as well.

The Ohio Valley Gamers want to welcome you to the Derby City Area and promote the hobby in our area!
