(Pronounced STRA-TEE-GO)

The Classic Game of Battlefield Strategy

The STATEGO game is the American version of the game popular on the Continent. While pieces have military designs and are maneuvered across the gameboard, it is not a war game.

The STRATEGO game is fast moving, easy to learn, and delightful to play, and provides a never-ending variety of ways to outwit your opponent. The colorful playing pieces are marked according to military rank which are kept hidden from the opponent as they are placed and moved across the board to capture your opponent's Flag. The rank of the piece is revealed only when an opposing piece is struck or attacked. The higher ranked piece removes the lesser rank. There are Bombs which "blow-up" and remove any attacking piece except the Miner who can dismantle and remove the Bomb. Even the Marshal, the highest-ranking piece, has a weakness, in that the lowly Spy can remove him from the game.

The exciting elements of skillful planning, clever deception, memory and suspence make the STRATEGO game thoroughly delightful.
