More from EW, including a preview clip down at the bottom.Yup, they're playing cutthroat, but upon first glance it looks like 2 vs 2 vs 2. The dynamics here would be much different than a 4 vs 2 (which this could evolve into if two alliances of 2 combine into 4) or a 3 vs 3 (if one alliance falls apart in animosity).
It's been my experience that most good players frown on outright alliances and prefer the lesser non-aggression pact (usually tacit and not declared to the other players), where you agree not to attack each other (apart from maybe the token card country being swapped) but you don't help each other either.
The game board at 0:19 in that clip looks interesting... blue has almost taken North America, green and black are crammed in South America, red holds Africa (but has to buffer against the South America action) and it looks like yellow is about to complete the conquest of Europe.Would I watch this? If it were one installment with edited clips, perhaps (just to critique the diplomacy and game play), but six installments? Dunna think so.
