Diplomacy is not the kind of game you should play with people who get hurt feelings from games.
In any case, I recently bought the deckbuilding game
Star Realms, and would highly recommend it. One deck makes for a good two player game, if you buy a second deck you can play with 3-4, third deck and it's 5-6 players.
Plays more straightforward than Dominion, and is IMO easier to learn. It's quite refreshing to play a good old "last man standing" combat game, but one that is streamlined to be mechanically as good as anything you'd expect from modern board game. After all, so many modern board games these days are either co-op or tend to have this "multiplayer solitaire" feel to them.
I'd recommend giving it a shot.
