The Potomac Tea & Knife Society is the premier metropolitan DC group dedicated to the play of Avalon Hill's Diplomacy. Founded in 1997 by a small group of local gamers, we now have more than 50 regional gamers who get together semi-regularly for gaming sessions, help players contact each other, run online games, and host Tempest in a Teapot, the main DC area Diplomacy tournament which is part of the Eastern Swing and the Grand Prix.
PTKS averages about one house game a month, where we typically average two games of Diplomacy, as well as whatever other games people wish to bring and play. Some of our favorites include Bang!, The Settlers of Catan, RoboRally, BloodBowl, Carcassone, Titan, and Titan: The Arena. Diplomacy variants are also not uncommon. Game locations vary but are always in the Baltimore-Washington area.
If you are interested in our game or in our group, feel free to check out our website, and join our mailing list. We'd love to have you join us in exploring this fine game, and maybe enjoy a few rounds of other, lesser games. We do have to warn you: to a Diplomacy player, all games become Diplomacy, so if you've never been lied to and betrayed in a friendly game of Monopoly, are you in for a treat!
