![]() Stratego remains a popular game, and this version brings back many memories for those who played it. Two sets of 40 army pieces, one in blue and one in red, consisting of:Īside from the inner cardboard filler to help hold all the pieces in an orderly fashion, that’s it. Two plastic trays to fit the game pieces in The game board (featuring a map of the geography in which the battle will take place in the center, bordered on either side with 12 squares showing the piece values.) If a player cannot move a piece or "strike" in his turn, he has lost the game.The game box (with a large picture of a uniformed older gentleman, perhaps a Field Marshall, about to make a move on the Stratego game board). Whenever a player "strikes" his opponent's Flag, the game ends and he is the winner. Remember, the Flag also can never be moved. A Bomb cannot strike, but rather must wait until a moveable piece strikes it. When a Miner strikes a Bomb, the Bomb is lost and the miner moves into the unoccupied square. ![]() The Bomb does not move into the empty square, but remains in its original position at all times. When any piece (except a Miner) strikes a Bomb (Bang!) that piece is lost and is removed from the board. All other pieces remove the Spy regardless of who strikes first. However, if the Marshal "strikes" first, the Spy is removed. That is, if the Spy "strikes" the Marshal in his turn, the Marshal is removed. The Spy, however, has the special privilege of being able to remove only the Marshal provided he strikes first. A Marshal removes a General, a General removes a Colonel, and a Colonel removes a Major, and so on down to the Spy, which is the lowest ranking piece. When equal ranks are struck, then both pieces are lost and removed from the board. The winning higher ranking piece is then moved immediately into the empty square formerly occupied by the losing piece. If a player strikes an opponents piece, the piece with the lower rank is lost and removed from the board. ![]() Either player may strike (in his turn), not only the one who moves his piece into position. A player may decide to strike, whenever he desires. It is not required to "strike" when two opposing pieces are in a position to do so. After pieces have finished the "strike" move, the player who was struck has his turn to move or strike. A player may move in his turn or strike in his turn. When a red and a blue piece occupy adjoining squares either back to back, side to side, or face to face, they are in a position to attack or "strike". (Scouts: more than two or more same squares in 5 consecutive turns) Important: Pieces cannot be moved back and forth between the same 2 squares in 5 consecutive turns. If a player cannot move a piece or if there is no legal move with one of his pieces, a game is lost. A player must either "move" or "strike" in his turn. The Scout may move and strike in the same turn. The Scout is valuable for probing the opponent's positions. Therefore, the player may choose to move the Scout only one square in his turn, so as to keep the Scout's identity hidden. This movement, of course, then reveals to the opponent the value of that piece. The "Scout" may move any number of open squares forward, backward, or sideways in a straight line. Once these pieces are placed at the start of the game, they must remain in that square. The "Flag" and the "Bomb" pieces cannot be moved. Only one piece may be moved in each turn. A piece may not move through a square occupied by a piece nor jump over a piece. Two pieces may not occupy the same square at the same time. Pieces must move around lakes and cannot move where there is no square. Note that there are two lakes in the center of the board, which contain no squares. A piece may be moved forward, backward, or sideward but not diagonally. A piece moves from square to square, one square at a time. ![]() The players place one piece in each square of their half of the board. Each player gets an army of 40 pieces, in order of rank from high to low, consisting of: One player takes the Red and the other the Blue playing pieces. The Objective of the game is to capture the opponent's flag. player :: X-FilesĬlassic Stratego rating/ranking :: Classic Stratego challenge rating/ranking 2023 :: Personal challenge ranking statisticsīarrage Stratego rating/ranking :: Duell Stratego rating/ranking :: UL Stratego rating/ranking Statistics :: StraDoS2 :: Battle results :: Player vs. Usage :: Loading/Saving setups :: Original game rules :: ISF more squares rule :: Additional options
