The pieces on the battlefield give the impression of toy soldiers marching off to war. In the standard game, each side of the battlefield (composed of ten squares by ten squares) is populated by an army consisting of quasi-European military units circa 1820.
Stratego is a unique blend of strategy, memorization, and unit management. Spanish and English instructions are included. Skillful planning, a keen memory, and sleight of hand will be your allies. From the lowliest scout to the highest-ranking marshal, all must make ready to encounter enemy bombs, defend the flag, and steel themselves to triumph over the foe. Utmost care must be taken as you place your men. A removable fortress barrier sequesters your army from prying eyes whilst ye prepare yourselves for a most lengthy and glorious conflict. To arms! A harsh and lonely battlefield is the setting for the Stratego board game.
