Custom Diplomacy Gameboard

We were contacted to create a very special Christmas gift. Our client commissioned us to create a custom made, heirloom-quality, Diplomacy gameboard. This was a delightful project and it was a pleasure to work with Stacey.

All the components were milled from solid cherry hardwood.

Our client chose to have handcrafted stained playing pieces included with the gameboard.

Our daughter created two satin-lined velvet drawstring pouches for the playing pieces.

Our client secured rights to reproduce the gameboard image. The digitally reproduced gameboard image is protected under glass.
