Platform to play Diplomacy online

The legendary Diplomacy board game has a small but dedicated community. Most platforms to play the game online are outdated and not user-friendly for playing the game on mobiles. The DPLMC platform provides an alternative and adds some additional features which might be useful to the community.

Platform features and components

The gaming platform includes the actual game as well as account creation and management. Players can configure a game, invite other players, and control the game process.

Events can also be created that represent a collection of games, such as a championship or a cup. Players can also join together to form a federation, which regulates access to games, among other things.

Within a game, communication between players is facilitated by an in-game chat.

At the platform level, a forum is also intended to facilitate exchange between players.
