Games Research Inc was an American board game publisher in the 1960s and 1970s based in Boston. Among the games it published are Convention! (1960), Diplomacy (1961 and again in 1971 with a revised rulebook), What's That on My Head? (1963), and Insight (1967).
After Allan B. Calhamer had unsuccessfully tried to get board game companies to publish Diplomacy, Calhamer used his own funds to make 500 copies of it in 1959 to sell. Games Research purchased the rights to Diplomacy in 1960. Games Research was acquired by Avalon Hill.
