Open question to anyone that feels like answering:
What are your top 3 favorite Diplomacy variants?
Variant Designers: No voting for your own variants!
Mine would be:
1 - Aberration (just love the concept, and it's rather balanced)
2 - Ancient Mediterranean (Don Hessong made a masterpiece, and refined it to perfection)
3 - Known World (up and coming...still needs some refining I think, but potential to be truly great)
Honorable mention goes to 1648 - might make the top 3 once I have a chance to play it.
Always interesting to hear people's responses to this, and useful for designing future variants (knowing what appealed and what didn't in other variants)
