Product Description
The game board is your battlefield. You have an army of men at your disposal and six bombs. Your mission is to capture your opponent's flag and protect your own. Using the majestic fortress screen as a shield, you and your opponent secretly place your men, bombs and flag on the game board. Once the armies are in place, advance your men. When you're one space away from an enemy, attack. You and your opponent declare ranks. The lower-ranking man is captured and placed out of play in the display tray. Move with caution and courage. The next piece you attack could be a bomb. And when attacked, it could "blast" your man off the board and out of play. The first to capture the enemy's flag is the winner! For 2 players. Contents includes: game board, fortress screen, 40 piece red army, 40 piece blue army, display tray, label sheet and instructions.

To arms! A harsh and lonely battlefield is the setting for Milton Bradley's newly redesigned Stratego board game. A removable fortress barrier sequesters your army from prying eyes whilst ye prepare yourselves for a most lengthy and glorious conflict. Utmost care must be taken as you place your men. From the lowliest scout to the highest-ranking marshal, all must make ready to encounter enemy bombs, defend the flag, and steel themselves to triumph over the foe. Skillful planning, a keen memory, and sleight of hand will be your allies. Onward, for King and for Country! Spanish and English instructions are included. Stratego is for two players. --Julie Ubben

I could not find this game in local stores. I was so glad to find it at Amazon. It was shipped to my grandson's home for his birthday. Great service! Thank you.
Beware of where you buy this... January 20, 2008
B. Cotterell (Seattle Wa.)
Stratego is a very cool game that I remember from my youth. I was going to
buy this online for my son and I to play since he is just now getting old enough
to understand and like these types of games. However, I decided it might be faster
if I bought it from the local toy store. I went to one and saw the box and the game
board didn't look like the one I remembered playing as a kid (didn't have pictures of
the soldiers and their ranks on it) and the playing pieces looked different. Then I went
to Target and found the Bookcase version or Vintage collection as they call it and sure
enough the gameboard was exactly as i remembered it and the game pieces are stamped
gold on the red pieces and silver on the blue pieces and are the same numerical order as
they always were. I am very happy with this game and don't know why they changed it in
the first place as the reviews that I have read are of people who don't like the new version.
If you are going to buy this game look around first.
 Stratego's old style pieces August 3, 2007

This version has stickers to add to the pieces indstead of already engraved pieces. Also for those that grew up with Statego this new version has reversed ranking order (ie the General is number 10 instead of number 1).
Unlike this boxed version of Stratego, the "book" Statego game from Target (available thru Amazon or Target) is the old style Stratego with the Scouts as number 9, Miners as number 8, etc. and the pieces have the ranks engraved on them like they used to. It doesn't cost much more than the boxed version and stores in less space. I am very happy with it.
Great game May 23, 2007

I grew up playing this game and I loved it! Now my son is enjoying it as well. It makes them think and learn how to strategize and is also fun, especailly for kids into the military and all that or into history. I like the updated version of the game pieces. The board was split on one side to make it fold into quarters to fit in the box...we'll see how long that lasts. Overall, great buy.
Excellent game April 13, 2007

This game is fun, requires a good amount of patience and strategy, and, at least to me, is easily comparable to chess. It never really gets old, as the game almost never starts out the same, and everything is open to the management of the player, from setup to attacks. Some players may be put off by the fact that you can't see the rank of your opponents' pieces, but that rule is, like any other, one that can be accepted. 12 dollars is an absolute steal for this game. Highly recommended.
