Anyone ever heard of this game?

I've heard of it, but I have only played it once. It's pretty intimidating for a new player (even a seasoned game-player, like myself.) I think I was eliminated in three rounds. I was playing as Austria and it was later explained to me that either Turkey or Austria goes pretty early and, well, as the new player, I negotiated poorly.

It can be.

I have been playing it for about 25 years, and the nuances and game play still throw up some very interesting situations.

face-to-face it can be a horror, but if you play it email/post then its a lot more enjoyable.
