It is cooperative, before the backstabbing starts!

Board gaming blood sports right here!

If you don't have 12 hours to build hate in your friend group, you can try intrigue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p5Xkdkb2SI

100%. I had a gaming group and we used to play weekly RoR after work, it was an amazing time. I cannot recommend this enough.

We developed an amazing sense of senatorial politics! Noone was safe! Ever.

Having the right group of people, with the right temperament is critical to enjoying this game. The backstabs are expected, the only question is how long will a understanding last, rather then will someone betray you.

One of the great parts of this game is even if your not going to win, you can still have a huge influence on the outcome so you are still involved in all the politicking.

Never tried Battle for Julu - I'll add it to my list of future game ideas!

I convinced my friends to play this with me a decade ago and they were so bored they said never again 🥲

That's honestly the best case scenario. You still had friends after a game of diplomacy.
