Mischief 2026
Tournament Diplomacy is coming to New York City.
Over the weekend of July 10-12, the New York DiploRats Diplomacy Club will host its inaugural ball at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center. Beginners and champions alike are invited to come and play the greatest board game ever made. The Rats intend to defend their home turf - can you take the crown home to your city?
Rooms are available at the nearby Livingston Hotel at a negotiated rate. Group social events will be held on Thursday and Saturday evenings, with David Cohen-designed variants, open gaming, and plenty of opportunities for sightseeing throughout the weekend. The venue is well-connected by transit and easily accessible by plane or train.
The DiploRats look forward to seeing you for the Battle in the Big Apple.
