Operation Manual

Stratego

You are the commander-in-chief of a real army – your army to be precise. You deploy your

troops. You alone devise how to wield your strike power, without neglecting your defences.

Planning an attack from the right, but is your left flank not vulnerable as a result? Is your flag

properly protected?

And above all, do you know what your opponent is up to?

Box contents:

• 2 x 40 playing pieces • Game board • Screen

• 2 sorting tables for the playing pieces

Two games:

Two different games can be played with this version of Stratego: Stratego Duel and Stratego Original.

If you’ve never played Stratego before or are only familiar with Stratego Junior, Stratego Duel is the ideal

game to start with. Stratego Duel is super fast on three counts: learn fast, play fast and win fast!

But once you’re ready to become a real strategist, Stratego Original is the game for you, giving you

total command over a complete army of 40 pieces. This will give you a chance to show what you’re

really made of!

Stratego Duel:

For Stratego Duel, both players need the following 10 pieces:

The pieces are set up on the bottom four rows of the

game board. You can therefore choose from 40 fields

for your 10 pieces. You could, for example, position all

your pieces at the back in a corner, and then protect

your flag with two bombs (see example). The

advantage here is that only the enemy miners can

capture the flag, because they alone can sweep the

bombs. The disadvantage is that your opponent will

immediately know where to look for the flag once the

screen has gone. You can choose the smartest

formation for yourself.

Carefully read the general Stratego rules below. The

rules apply to both Stratego Duel and Stratego

Original. You will find it easier to learn to play Stratego

Duel because it is played with fewer pieces.

Stick the gold

stickers on the red

pieces and the silver

stickers on the blue

pieces as shown.
