(More customer reviews)This version of Stratego is similar to the classic version, with one notable (and arguably major) exception: the number of playing pieces has been reduced.
The game pieces are revamped for a fire-versus-ice fantasy setting: the Spy is now a Slayer, who can take out the highest-ranked Dragon piece. Name changes aside, the gameplay remains the same as the original game. However, the number of pieces has been reduced from forty to thirty, and the gameboard therefore only has three rows of ten spaces instead of four on each side of the board. This alteration in the board alone can considerably change winning game strategies compared to the classic version.
The game also supplies rules for an optional variant on the game where each numbered piece has a special ability - for example, the second-highest ranked piece, the Mage, can force the opponent to reveal the identity of a distant piece without attacking it; the Knight can move two spaces instead of one. These optional rules are also printed on the game board itself for easy reference. This gameplay variant can sometimes make the game feel considerably different than the original version.
Overall, I'd say the game remains similar to the original, but is not an exact substitute. The classic version of Stratego is still available, so make sure you know you want what you're buying!

Step onto the battlefield and put your strategy to the test in this classic game. Each player must use cunning and luck to outwit their opponents and win the game. It's the same classic "capture the flag" gameplay, but with an all-new heroic fantasy theme. For 2 players.
