1976 Purple Box (AH)
This classic game of pure negotiation has taken many forms over the years. The original Avalon Hill version has perhaps the widest release, but Avalon Hill (Hasbro) re-released the game in 1999, complete with a colorful new map and metal pieces. In the game, players represent one of several European countries (France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, etc.) at about the time of World War I. There are only two kinds of units: sea and land. On a turn, each of your pieces has very few options: move into an adjoining territory or help another unit more into or defend an adjoining territory. With its incredibly simplistic movement mechanics fused to a significant negotiation element, this system is highly respected by many a gamer.
