Diplicity Game: “Give it a Try” – AAR

This was one of the least interesting games I’ve played online. My first real game on Diplicity and what a disappointment. Diplicity is, first and foremost, an app. However, I accessed most of this game through their website. I’ve looked at it before and not been impressed.
