War between the Redcoats and Bluecoats rages on. Time and again, Lieutenant Jacques Cavalier attempts to attack and capture the Redcoats’ flag with his troops. The Bluecoat army is weary and has been significantly weakened, but his men will not surrender. Are you ready to help the Lieutenant defeat the Redcoat army? The Bluecoats are counting on a brilliant strategist like you.
The aim of this classic board game is to capture the enemy’s flag while defending your own. Luckily, you are not alone; you have an entire army at your disposal, along with a seductive spy and six deadly bombs.
Secretly deploy your army by placing the 40 playing pieces on the first four rows of the game board. Red begins. Remove the screen once both players are ready, but beware, there is no luck in this game, and how you place your pieces on the board can determine whether you win or lose.
Taking turns, each player must either move one of their own playing pieces or attack one of their enemy’s playing pieces. The piece that holds the lowest rank loses and is removed from the board. However, your elusive Spy is an exception to this rule, so use their skills wisely.
Stratego Original combines stealth, long-range planning, bluffs, and double bluffs to outthink your opponent and emerge victorious. First, however, you must act decisively and be confident in your strategy because if you made a move and have let go of your piece, you can’t retract the move.
