It challenges players to capture the opponent’s flag through secret formations and tactical moves, enhancing strategic thinking and planning skills. With no assembly required and quick-start guides included, it’s perfect for immediate, competitive play. ## Description Stratego Original is a classic game of battlefield strategy where everything depends on capturing the flag in this refreshed, nostalgic version. Head into battle straight away as the Commander in Chief. Your task is to take your opponents flag while defending your own. Plan a secret formation for the army of 40 pieces of varying rank you have at your disposal. Make sure your opponent does not know how you have planned out your army to defend your flag. But you must also ensure that your formation provides opportunities for attack. Then the strategic fight begins. You need to probe your opponents strength, and if you feel your information is strong enough - then it’s time for a decisive attack. Open the box and start playing instantly. The original pre-printed playing pieces don't have to be stickered and for players new to Stratego there is a training mission to help you get familiar with the rules and ranks of the game. Game contents: 2 x 40 playing pieces, game board, screen, 2 sorting trays for the pieces, game rules including Quick Start Guide and 2 training mission envelopes. Review: Llego muy bien, ya conocia el juego. Es bastante entretenido Review: Stratego has been a staple in our family’s board game collection for years, and this original edition continues to deliver that same timeless, tactical fun. It’s simple to learn but endlessly replayable—and perfect for game nights or teaching kids how to think ahead. 🎖️ Strategic Depth with Simple Rules The rulebook (visible on page 2) explains gameplay clearly, making it easy for new players to jump in. It’s a one-on-one game where each player arranges their army and uses bluff, memory, and deduction to capture the opponent’s flag. There’s no luck involved—just pure strategy. 🧠 Great for Critical Thinking As shown in the product description on page 2, this game builds planning and decision-making skills. My 9-year-old quickly picked up the mechanics, and now he asks to play all the time. It’s also great for adults—engaging without being overly complicated. 📦 Quality Components, Nostalgic Design The pieces are well-made and sturdy (page 4 reviews confirm this), with a classic red-and-blue army theme. The board folds flat and fits neatly into the box. It’s the same quality you remember from the past, now with a sharper, modern presentation. 👨‍👩‍👦 Perfect for 2 Players Unlike many games that require a group, Stratego is designed specifically for 2 players—making it great for parent–child bonding or casual competition between friends. ✅ Pros: Great balance of simplicity and strategy Durable, nostalgic components Easy setup and replay value Ideal for kids and adults alike ❌ Cons: Only supports 2 players (but that’s by design) Overall: If you’ve never played Stratego, now is the time. And if you’re returning to it, this edition is a fantastic reintroduction. Classic, satisfying, and endlessly fun—I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys smart, head-to-head games. ## Features - Stratego is the strategic game where you challenge your opponents in the heat of battle - Your task is to capture your opponent’s flag while defending your own - Lead your men into battle, every move is crucial - Includes 2 x 40 pre-printed playing pieces, Game board, Screen and 2 sorting trays for the pieces - Suitable for 2 players, aged 8+ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B097CBXLG1 | | Age Range Description | 8 years | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #65,238 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #2,226 in Board Games | | Brand Name | Jumbo | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Multicolored | | Customer Package Type | Box with inserts/trays | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,748) | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | developing strategic thinking and planning skills | | Estimated Playing Time | 45 Minutes | | Genre | Strategy, Wargame | | Included Components | 2 x training mission envelopes | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 26.7 x 7.5 x 26.7 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W | 26.7L x 26.7W centimeters | | Item Weight | 2.51 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Jumbodiset | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1188.00 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96.00 | | Material Type | Plastic Cardboard | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 8 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Stratego Original | | Size | One Size | | Theme | Military | | Unit Count | 40.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jumbo - **Genre:** Strategy, Wargame - **Material:** Plastic Cardboard - **Number of players:** 2 - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![Stratego - Original, Strategy Board Game, 2 Players, Ages 8 Year Plus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uGspuEVeS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between this and the $53 version that was on here a week ago (before christmas)?** A: Good afternoon, the question is not entirely clear. These games are the same. If you have any questions, I will be glad to help. **Q: Does this come with the classic pawns?** A: Hi. Yes, the Galt Toys version comes with the classic pawns, so no need to apply stickers. This version also comes with a new, quick-play training mission, using only the Marshal, the flag, one Lieutenant, two Miners, two Scouts, two Bombs, and the Spy. All instructions are in English, French, and Spanish. **Q: What is the purpose of the envelopes?** A: Its a good game. **Q: size of playing board?** A: I gave it as a gift, so I can't measure it. As I remember, the board is about the same size as the original version. The pieces are a bit larger, though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***A on 29 January 2024* Llego muy bien, ya conocia el juego.

Easy to figure ot how to play and my 5 year old caught on after awhile with some help. Good quality pieces but the storage is a little hard to get the pieces to stay in. They do put numbers in the back so you can find the spots. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jumbo, Stratego - Original, Strategy Board Game, 2 Players, Ages 8 Year Plus - Risk Board Game, Strategy Games for 2-5 Players, Strategy Board Games for Teens, Adults, and Family, War Games, Ages 10 and Up - Battleship Classic Board Game | Strategy Games for Kids and Adults | Ages 7+ | 2 Players | Fun Kids Games | Family Games --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/371020349-stratego-original-strategy-board-game-2-players-ages-8-year](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/371020349-stratego-original-strategy-board-game-2-players-ages-8-year) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
