First Edition Milton Bradley Stratego Game from 1961
I bought this about 20 years ago at the Salvation Army for 25
cents.
This is an image of some of the pieces from the set shown
above.
Stratego Game with plastic pieces from about 1962
The first game of Stratego I played was with this set.
The pieces are original, the box and board aren't. It originally belonged to my
cousin. I later played on a friend's older brother's wooden set before buying a
set like this one.
Hasbro Nostalgia Game Series Stratego Game produced for
Target
I bought it on ebay before I knew you could get it at Target
for $16.99. The seller sent me a Nostalgia Game Series Clue game by mistake and
let me keep both. So I ended up getting both for more or less regular price.
Now Target has a Michael Graves Stratego Game for $39.99. Don't bid more than that
on ebay for one.
This is an image of some of the pieces
from the set shown above. The detail is almost as good as the 1st edition
set.
Stratego on a 3-D Chessboard
The squares are kinda small but it is possible play Stratego
on a 3-D chessboard. I played a number of games on this board with a friend of
mine when I was a kid. We may or may not have used lakes, but I put some in
with post-it tags for this picture. I think Barrage or Ultimate Lightning might
work pretty good with this board.
Sites to play online and other links.
Play online at Metaforge's
Multiplayer Web Stratego site.
It's the best site to play Stratego online.
Unlimited free play but $27.95 a year gets you access to Meta's WebStratego
message board and the ability to save setups. Well worth it.
