   We really love this game and have been playing it a lot. It’s like a cross between battleship and the card game war but much more fun to play with the kids than those other games. My kids can be heard cheering or yelling ‘Aw Man!’ in equal measure. There are no arguments or fighting with this one and they spend a lot of time setting up their boards and really put a lot of thought into where they want their pieces to go.

   The pieces do not come with the icons on them, they are little stickers that you have to add on yourself, but they are really easy to place and the one time I didn’t line it up correctly I was able to peel off the sticker and put in on the right way without ripping the sticker. So it’s really easy to ‘put together’ the first time.

   My son kept seeing the commercial for this game over the holiday season and asking for it. Being that he’s only 5 1/2, I thought he’d never be able to play. We set it up a few nights ago and was pleased to see there were different versions to play. We played the “Duel” version and he took to the game quite easily. If you like chess, you’d like this game.

   My only negative comment is that we are constantly having to turn the game pieces around because the stickers go on the front and all pieces are identical from the back.

   Best game ever. It says for ages 8 and up, but I play it with my 5 year old son without any problems. He was even teaching my wife how to play all by himself. I loved playing this game as a kid and now it’s nice to share the fun with my son. The only annoying thing is having to stick all the stickers to the game pieces. This isn’t the version with the silver pieces. It is kind of cool to have a new piece called the infiltrator if you want to play a variation of the classic version. He is an extra piece that you would swap one of the other pieces for, so you don’t have to use him if you don’t want. Another thing that I found strange was the numbering system. When I used to play, the 1 was the highest ranking and 8’s beat bombs. Now the 10 is the highest rank, and 3’s beat bombs.

   Not sure how I’m going to play this as the stickers are not cut right. Half of two characters are shown per sticker. It is like this for both the red and blue armies. How this got through QC is beyond me. This should have been caught on the line when the first shots for inspection were done and also the first pulls for shipment were done to retailers were done.

   The play pieces are plastic now and you need to put stickers on them, as opposed to the traditional wooden pieces. Our old wooden set was sturdier. However, was happy to find this game on boardgamesweekly.com because very few stores are carrying it these days.

   So far so good. Lots of fun, laughter, suspense until the finish and cheers at the end. Fast paced game. I like the pieces are well constructed and can be gripped well. Stand well too. Rare instances the pieces fall off the spot. Personally it is harder for me to see the numbers on the pictures. Kids do a better job at identifying the pieces from a distance.
   The red and blue plastic stand which comes along to store the pieces is quite flimsy. It is possible to crack or break it if accidentally stepped upon. Overall it is a fun game. A must have for fun family times.

   I loved this game as a child and wish I had my original, but this version is not as disappointing as some reviewers would make you believe. If you are looking for heirloom quality, think again. This is a classic game that has been resurrected at a low cost through the magic of inexpensive plastic and foreign imports. Yes the pieces are plastic. Yes the stickers need to be put on carefully so they look right and do not fall off and finally, yes it has a different feel then your old version. That being said, my two sons could care less about the past and they thoroughly enjoying playing Stratego with me….yes, that is right. They enjoy playing something other than a video game with their dad!

   I love this board game! It takes some effort and strategy, only meant for two players. Similar to chess in that respect. Relatively easy to get the hang of after playing a round. The pieces are not the highest quality plastic, and the labels that tell you the number for each one (important for the game!) are very small, which makes it difficult to quickly look across the board and locate where each piece is. This game is definitely one I’ll play for many years to come, but it would be great if the playing pieces were of higher quality.

   My nephew received this gift & it looks like the pegs should be different colors. Shouldn’t he have a bag of red & a bag of blue??

    Average game. Not bad

    Cheaply made as stated in other reviews. May just use glue to hold stickers on. Other than that we love the game and am happy with the purchase.

    Stickers don’t line up.

    Durante mi época de universidad jugaba este juego con amigos, pasábamos días enteros jugando. Las estrategias con el tiempo se vuelven más complejas. Es muy entretenido. Ahora juego con mi hija y la pasamos increíble. Muy recomendado y esta versión es la mejor.

    I LOVE this game! It is so much fun! We bought this game for my eight year old son after he played at a friends house, thinking it would make a good Christmas gift. It has been an amazing gift! My son loves challenging his cousins, and friends to games and even us. It’s kind of a mix of strategy between chess and risk.

    My teenage nephew came over and I pulled it out, and he got into the game too. We had the best time trying to deceive each other on where our spy was, or where our bombs were hidden. It’s a great game!

    le entrega como siempre buena en boardgamesweekly.com, el juego es muy bueno y como su nombre lo indica requiere de muchas estrategia, es muy simple de jugar pero es dificl de dominar, muy buen juego te hace pensar algo similar al ajedrez
