Its cartoon cover portrays 1950s Americans in a cocktail-party setting, and its overall color is pink. The only one I've ever found was owned by famed boardgame designer/collector Sid Sackson, and I'm extremely glad I grabbed that ultra-rare copy.

I turned over quite a few stones trying to find one. This one here is a Games Research edition, probably from the early 1970s. The board in it is still a rendition of the original Calhamer board from 1959, though. Rarer still would be the Game of Realpolitik pre-pub, but fortunately there are scans online.http://www.diplom.org/~diparch/diplomacy_rules.htm
