This PC conversion of the Macintosh game was done by MindSpan, and it was the only non-sport game they ever developed. Solid computer version of Milton Bradley's classic board game Stratego. Think strategic when you place your pieces in the beginning of the game - usually you'll get the thought during the game you could need a mine right here or there, but they're not moveable. Interesting part of this game is, that you can't see your opponents pieces (well, you can see the PIECES, but not their strength.) -.and he of course can't see yours. Then there are mines which can only be disarmed by miners - an overall very weak species, but necessary to win, coz' usually the flag is surround by mines. You've for example Scouts who are (as the only one) able to movfe more than one square per round, but they are the weakest. You have different types of pieces each with different strength. This means you've also got to protect your own flag. Goal of the game is to get the opponents flag. You can also change the background and the pieces if you would like to. So if you like the game stratego than I would recommend this game. This game has a lot of options and good graphics. This game is a must for all Stratego lovers and others who enjoy playing board games on their computer, but for those who either don't like Stratego or just want to play Stratego with human players, this game can be overlooked. The sound is horrifying, at least on my computer where the sound is a long, extremely irritating BEEP. Well, there are no real graphics but only a flat table with blue and red rectangles that have drawings inside. The mightiest piece on the board, the marshal (1) can only be captured (removed) by the spy and, of course, he will get blown away if he attacks the bomb.Īnd now a few details about the game design. A bomb kills everyone that attacks it, except for the miner, who disarms it. There are some special rules though, like that the bombs and flags do not move. So if your captain (5) attacks a sergeant (7) you win the battle and the sergeant is removed from the battlefield.
This is determined by the character's strength which is displayed on the card - the lower the number, the stronger the character is.
If you move your piece to a square which is occupied by your enemy's figure, one of the figures is sent out of the battlefield. In each turn you move one of your pieces either one square vertically or horizontally. In order to do so you control forces that vary from bombs to spies and everything else there is in between. Your mission is to find the other players flag and defend your own. The well-known board game, Stratego, is a game about strategy. This computerized interpretation has 3 different board layouts, a selection of automatic setups with different strategic benefits, and a demo mode. You have no way of knowing what strength the opposition pieces are until you have hit them. When you choose a square occupied by an opposition piece, combat arises, and the higher-numbered piece is lost from the game. The flag and bombs can't be moved during the game, so watch out for any squares the computer does not move when it otherwise logically should, and these could be your goal. Other than scouts (which are the least powerful) the units can only move one space at a time. Each player starts with 40 pieces made up by the flag, 5 bombs, and an assortment of 9 types of military units.Īfter these have been placed, each player takes it in turn to move their pieces. The board game Stratego is a more elaborate version of Capture the Flag.
