Customer Reviews:

Excellent game [Posted on 2007-04-13]
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.

Great game [Posted on 2007-05-23]
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.

Stratego's old style pieces [Posted on 2007-08-03]
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.

Beware of where you buy this... [Posted on 2008-01-20]
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.

Grandson loves this game! [Posted on 2008-08-11]
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.
