Stratego – 65th Anniversary

Description

Honor the past, celebrate the future

This limited Anniversary Edition celebrates 65 years and sees our female Spy promoted to Marshal, inspiring other women to take up the ranks of Lieutenant and Scout. You can now personalize your troops by choosing between male and female role models for these three critical posts.

Play the original game or try another game option never seen before: the introduction of 30 Battle Cards. Discover new diagonal steps, jumps and new attack and defense powers.

Plan a strategy or add the element of surprise as you switch positions, bridge it more or step further over the line than ever before. A sudden turn of a card allows you to outshine opponents in battle by increasing your chances of a successful attack. But watch out… your opponent may well have a counter strategy and play their own card!

Beautifully crafted and illustrated, this 65th Anniversary Edition features new, heavier game pieces with a redesigned profile. The game comes in a premium quality box that will have pride of place for any Stratego collector.

The gameboard is your battlefield. You have an army of men at your disposal and six bombs. Your mission–protect your flag and capture your opponent’s flag.

Secretly place your men, bombs, and flag on the gameboard with these objectives in mind. But remember your opponent is doing the same thing, so you must plan a defense as well as an offense.

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 out of play.

You control your pieces and risk your men in battles where the strength of your enemy is unknown. The suspense builds as your men move deeper into enemy territory. 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 an enemy flag is the winner!
