Who here has played Diplomacy? It might be perhaps counterintuitive for an autistic person to play, because you need to be social--if you're not social, you tend to get all the other players gaming up on you. Nevertheless, I gave it a try 10 years back and did OK, and I'm looking to give it another try now.

I tried it at times.

I didn't do too well with the actual diplomacy part, but becouse i have uncommon facial expressions, the other players were completely unable to tell if their plans were helping me or not.
all other players had little twitches that betrayed their reaction to offers or events, while i managed to keep a stone-cold poker face the entire game.

I usually ended among the best 3, with a full suite of players

I actually really enjoy Diplomacy. It was my gateway drug into board gaming :)
