Just a curious question for some of those that have played a bunch of different games - do you find that you perform better or worse at one or the other?

My personal experience is that I am TERRIBLE at variants. I seem to perform much better at the standard games. I just can't place if it is a comfort level with having played them enough to understand the dynamic of alliances and their nuances (where I typically haven't played any one variant twice) or if it is that I tend to play less aggressively or what.

Would love to hear others' thoughts regarding this.

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
