comment Can the Diplomat power be used against a player without an active race?
Yep, it can be quite useful to declare peace with a player that has no active race, forcing him to bring in his new race in a different area of the board.

comment How likely are you to lose because Fool's Landing sinks into the abyss?
"If the first character is the Pilot (1/6), they can always move to FL and shore it up" Minor quibble, but doesn't the Pilot always start at FL to begin with?

comment Board Game Tournaments
I don't think there is a good generic answer. It will vary significantly based on the game. Does it always have a single winner? Are there time concerns? Is there a score to distinguish between people that didn't win? Are there concerns about cross-game play? etc.

comment In the official rules of Monopoly, can you offer immunity to other players in deals?
Seems like you can "offer" it regardless, but there is nothing that enforces you to provide it when the time comes, same as any trade conditions that occur in the future. So it is "caveat emptor". But maybe that is just me being a Diplomacy player.

comment Does the Diplowinn variant play similarly to the original Diplomacy?
I've never played it, but it seems like it gives a huge advantage to whoever has an early lead. This would make it very hard for a coalition to take them out, which to me ruins the entire purpose of Diplomacy. You might as well just say that whoever is leading in 1904 wins.

comment How do game designers come up with suggested (or minimum) age requirements for games?
I think the problem is that you are misinterpreting "suggested age" as "age requirement". The suggested age implies that anyone who has reached that age can handle it. Whether kids that haven't reached that age can play it or not is very dependent on the child. Its very typical for kids that do a lot of gaming to play games with a much higher suggested age.

comment Do you get a gold when playing Trading Post?
We always looked at that and thought that since the 1 resembled the 5, and it says "the amount of coins pictured" (implying that it could be something other than 5) that it applied to both cards. Guess that isn't the case.
