Stratego
1 of 1nouna strategy board game where two players command armies of different ranks and attempt to capture the opponent's flag while protecting their own
Stratego is a two-player strategy board game where each player controls an army of pieces with varying ranks and abilities, aiming to capture the opponent’s flag while defending their own. The board is a 10x10 grid, and players initially set up their pieces in secret, placing them in their half of the board. Pieces include ranks like scouts, soldiers, and bombs, each with specific movement and combat rules. Players take turns moving their pieces one space, and battles occur when one piece attacks another, with the higher-ranked piece winning, except bombs, which can eliminate most pieces. The game combines strategy, bluffing, and memory, as players must carefully plan attacks and defenses while uncovering the opponent’s setup.
