Description

Stratego is a classic board game of hidden tactics and strategy, first launched in 1946. In this game, two players face off on a grid-based battlefield, each with an army of men, bombs, and a flag to protect and capture. The rules are easy to learn, but the game requires a combination of skill, memory, and deduction to outmaneuver your opponent. As you advance your men and attack enemy pieces, the suspense builds, and the unknown strength of your opponent's units adds an element of bluffing and risk-taking to the game. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Stratego has become a timeless favorite, spawning numerous themed versions and spinoffs over the years. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a new player, Stratego offers a fun and challenging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
