Get hold of a copy of Diplomacy - you'll need at least 3 players, but playing with 6 or seven is awesome.
The game is played out on a map of Europe dated 1902 - and the object of the game is to take control of one of the seven powers (England, France, Germany, Russia, Austo-Hungary, Italy or Turkey) and by forging alliances with the other players, take over Europe with your fleets and armies.
The best thing about it is the simultaneous reveal of orders, which means that there are no dice to roll to see who wins each round of play - The excitement and random factor is all down to the interaction of the players as they plan, conspire, betray and back-stab one another. It's an absolute classic of a game.
