Diamond Trust of London Now Available

If you wondered what ever happened to Jason Rohrer's Diamond Trust of London, the good news is, it's now available to buy. Funded entirely by a 'Kickstarter' campaingn you can bag yourself a copy for a mere $30 but, be warned, they are selling fast. Interested? Head here now.

The finest diamonds in the world are hidden here. Not hidden, actually, but dug out of the earth by the teeming masses. The diamonds are hidden only to those who are too afraid to come here to Angola, too afraid of conflict. The local market has been soft ever since the biggest player went back to Johannesburg, but we still fly under the radar. We're made-up corporations with made-up names; we have no permanent employees and we work in temporary offices. These temporary offices though, are in the only places that matter for diamonds: Antwerp and London. There are only two firms left with agents in Angola, and we have until December before the UN starts regulating the sale of rough diamonds. Let's make these last 8 months count.

Are your decisions really secret? Have your agents been bribed? Counter-bribe your opponent's agents, and perhaps you'll find out
