Put your arms around me,
fiddly digits, itchy britches
I love you all
I suggest we add Diplomacy to the list. It first came out in 1959 and has decades of history under its belt. Apparently Kissinger and Kennedy used to play it in the White House. Other "diplomatic strategy games" have been released since then that have iterated on the idea and added additional mechanics, but for me the simplicity of Diplomacy is what sets it apart from its successors. There are no dice rolls. There are no card draws. There is no random chance of any form. What happens on the board is a direct result of the actions of the players, no more, no less.
