Jumbo, Stratego - Original, Strategy Board Game, 2 Players, Ages 8 Year Plus

Love this game, fond memories from my own childhood. One warning, these pieces will roll when your seven year old gets frustrated that you've CRUSHED HIM AGAIN.

Best game ever for strategy that's fun for everyone (in my opinion).

This game was a great gift for my grandchildren.

Great game but even though it says original it’s not

Nice quality, happy with purchase.

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.

. I’ve owned this game for years and brought it over to a friend’s house and their kids liked it so much they asked if they could keep it. My version was not the original but classic enough that I didn’t want to part with it. After researching to find the best modern version I bought two of these as presents. The version with the cards seems cool and is cheaper but I like the pieces and layout of this board much better which is why I went with this purchase. I never tried the version with the cards and don't think I need to because the original is great. I don’t trust whoever rates this game less than four stars.

Love this game when I was younger now, I get to share it with my 14-year-old son
