Stratego

Traditional Game from Hasbro Interactive, Inc., by Mind's Eye Productions

Version of the classic board game. Each player has a group of military-ranked units and these are placed on the board in the order of each players choosing. The rank of the units is visible only to their owner. The board is divided into squares a pieces move in a similar way to checkers. When two pieces come into contact the higher ranked unit wins, with one or two exceptions. At this time the identities of pieces are revealed and remembering this information adds a strategic element to the game. The flag unit is key and once his flag is captured a player loses. Play against a choice of computer-controlled opponents or a friend. You can adjust the difficulty when playing against the computer. As well as the classic rules game there is also a choice of variants, including a four-player option, and this adds further replayability value to this game. The game's graphics are effective and numerous animations are included.
