This Classic version is thirty red vs. thirty blue pieces (whereas, the Original Edition is forty vs. forty). And playtime is approximately 30 minutes (compared to the original 45). \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nFrom the box:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gameboard is your battlefield. You have an army of men at your disposal and six bombs. Your mission--protect your flag and capture your opponent's flag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecretly place your men, bombs, and flag on the gameboard with these objectives in mind. But remember your opponent is doing the same thing, so you must plan a defense as well as an offense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the armies are in place, advance your men. When you're one space away from an enemy, attack. You and your opponent declare ranks. The lower-ranking man is captured and out of play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou control your pieces and risk your men in battles where the strength of your enemy is unknown. The suspense builds as your men move deeper into enemy territory. Move with caution and courage. The next piece you attack could be a bomb. And when attacked, it could \"blast\" your man off the board and out of play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first to capture an enemy flag is the winner!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis game is similar to, and almost certainly derived directly from, the H.P. Gibsons (UK) game L'Attaque (1909). It is not exactly the same, but not far from it (numbered pieces, spy (same name) can kill the strongest piece but only when attacking, flag, bombs, etc.) This game in turn almost certainly drew on the classic Chinese children's game Jungle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRe-implemented by:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego (Revised Edition) (aka Stratego Fire \u0026amp; Ice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Generals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego Legends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego: Star Wars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego: Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltimate Stratego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic Stratego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego: Marvel Heroes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego: Star Wars Saga Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratego: The Chronicles of Narnia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eand numerous others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar to:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdmirals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLu Zhan Jun Qi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL'Attaque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatalj\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpe's Attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Edition Complications\u003cbr\u003eWhen first produced in Europe, the most powerful pieces had higher numbers. I.e. the Marshall (most powerful piece) was a 10, the General was a 9, and so on. The higher the rank, the higher the number. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen they introduced Stratego in the USA, the numbering was reversed, so the Marshall was a 1, the General 2, and so on. The 1st rank (most powerful) was 1, the second most powerful was 2, 3rd most powerful was 3....\u003cbr\u003eThen, in 2000s Hasbro re-imagined Stratego in the USA and made a few changes. They reduced the number of pieces per side (from 40 to 30), added additional powers, and changed the numbering to reflect the European system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis caused extreme consternation with many faithful American Stratego fans who preferred the 'old way'. (Actually the second oldest way, but whatever.) Many of these insist on playing Stratego with the 'Marshall 1 system'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wouldn't be a problem, except any and all discussions of Stratego are fraught with misunderstandings by those who are unaware of dual numbering systems! Keep this in mind when reading information about Stratego.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jumbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39594332520499,"sku":"J-81943","price":18.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Screenshot2021-10-27at17-28-342021-outset-webpdf.png?v=1635326993","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/stratego-classic","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
