Video Game Reviews of Stratego [Classic Value Series]Customer Review: A Great Way To Exercise Your Brain! Summary: 4 StarsThis is a classic game of capture-the-flag. The computer offers almost no challenge if you surround your Flagboy with land mines. The computer seems to play on a novice level most of the time. Sometimes the computer will get lucky and send in a General or a Colonel to capture your flag. This game was easier for me to learn than chess because almost all of the pieces have the same movements. The Scouts are the only pieces that can move more than one space on the board. This game should improve your memory because you can't identify your opponent's pieces until he attacks one of your pieces. Then, you have to remember which of his pieces he attacked you with. The two most powerful pieces on the board are the Marshal and the General. The Spy is the only piece that can capture the Marshal. The real challenge of this game is locating your opponent's flag without getting blown apart by a land mine or captured by a more powerful piece. A typical game will last about an hour. The animated attacks are fun to watch, and the computer provides enough of a challenge to keep most games interesting. Unfortunately, Stratego does not work with Windows XP. I think the biggest problem with this game is that it includes the use of land mines. The computer does a terrible job of avoiding your land mines. You will probably win every game you play against the computer, but the educational experience is better than what you get from most games. This is a great game for anyone who is thirteen or older. I'm in my thirties, and I still enjoy playing this game.
Description of Stratego [Classic Value Series]Hasbro turns this classic gameboard into a battlefield on your PC! When engaged in battle, characters morph into ranked toy soldiers.

Your mission: capture your opponent's flag and protect your own. Your troops range in rank from scout to marshal--but your opponent doesn't know the ranks of your players. Each is disguised as an innocent drummer boy marching across the battlefield while cautiously sidestepping hidden bombs. When engaged in battle, characters morph into toy soldiers, and their ranks determine who emerges victorious. This is the game for developing your strategic skills.
