Two armies face off on a ten-by-ten battlefield, and only one mission matters: capture the enemy flag. Stratego is a beloved two-player strategy game where every piece hides its rank from the opponent. You secretly deploy your forty soldiers, from the mighty marshal to the sneaky spy, then launch your attacks never quite knowing who stands across from you. Each clash becomes a gamble: is that motionless piece a bomb, a lowly scout, or the general you fear most?

The heart of the game is bluff and deduction. You watch enemy movements, remember past battles and slowly rebuild the map of your rival's forces. A scout races down a whole row to reveal positions, a miner defuses the bombs guarding the flag, and the fragile spy can topple the powerful marshal with a single daring strike. This 50th Anniversary Edition returns to the original Napoleonic theme, reimagined with rich new artwork, and adds a fresh variation: the Stratego Cannon, an extra piece that opens a whole new tactical dimension on the battlefield.

You will probably love Stratego if you enjoy head-to-head duels where cunning matters as much as force. It is a demanding yet approachable strategy game, perfect for sharp-witted showdowns with friends or family, where every match is a fresh war of nerves.

Stratego ranks among the best-selling strategy games in the world and has for decades. This edition marks fifty years of the North American version of the game and offers, alongside the classic rules, an optional cannon variant that shakes up the habits of longtime veterans.

Stratego is the creation of Dutch designer Jacques Johan Mogendorff, who gave the game its hidden-rank mechanic that became a benchmark of the genre. Generations of players have learned to bluff and deduce through this timeless classic.
