Stratego
Step onto the battlefield and put your strategy to the test in this classic game. Each player must use cunning and luck to outwit their opponents and win the game. It’s the same classic “capture the flag” gameplay, but with an all-new heroic fantasy theme. For 2 players.

4 Stars Great Strategy Game
It will get you to think, its alot like chess, but gives you more set up options and more options. You cannot go wrong with stratego!
5 Stars Great Birthday gift for boys 7-10
My son has given this as his birthday gift of choice for all his friends. It’s great because, unlike traditional Stratego, it doesn’t take days to play. In addition the figures have special moves which provides added enjoyment. A great game for boys ages 7-10.
4 Stars Alright, Stratego!
I have never played any of the other editions of Stratego. I think the classic version features military players. This one has fantasy type players, like a Dragon, a magician, dwarf, etc. I bought it for my husband as I have been looking for good two person games for us to play together. This one hit the nail on the head. It’s a simplified chess game, which is great to play again. It’s involving and fun, and it makes you feel like your brain may actually be getting some exercise. Kids can play too, which is nice. You can learn to play quickly yet the game can get quite complex: as they say, a minute to learn, a lifetime to master. Highly recommended.
3 Stars Meh
I got this for my son for Christmas. Because this isn’t “traditional” Stratego, it has some alternate rules which are confusing. My son played it with me once and never asked to play again. I think it was partly confusing rules, and partly that kids just don’t want to play board games anymore.
As a parent, I had fond memories of playing Stratego as a kid, but those warm fuzzies didn’t return once I started playing.
4 Stars Fun strategy game
I grew up on the old game, so adjusting to the reverse numbering scheme took time. In this new version, high numbers are strong and low numbers are weak.
I like this version because it has more than one way to play. Normal mode or Special Power mode. However, I think I preferred the military theme rather than the fantasy theme.
