This game is so good that as a kid I wore the board out. Now at the age of 28 my best friend and I always remember the great fun we had with the game and so I'm buying the Ultimate Stratego so we can start playing again.
Ultimate Stratego Review by
I am an 11 year old kid and I played this game at a friends house I played it 2 times and not only was it fun but it was educational too. When I got home from my friends house I begged my mom to take me to [retail store] and I have loved Stratego ever since.
Ultimate Stratego Review by Efrain Rivera Jr. "UltraJ" (Anasco, PR United States)
Stratego is a game in which two armies battle each other with the purpose of catching the opposing flag. You send different ranked Soldiers into battle, Scouts to investigate from afar, Bombs to protect your flag, Miners to deactivate the bombs and the dreaded Spy to try to capture the high ranked Marshall.Ultimate Stratego is a remixed version of the original. Plus you may play with four people divided into two teams. The game is more complicated than the original and will take a life time to master. It comes with a beautiful two sided board for the two player game on one side and four player game on the other (Sorry no three player game). The board and the pieces are very strong but I gave it 4 stars in durability because the cardboard tokens tend to slip out and can be lost. Its educational value is high. This version plays more like chess than the original plus you must rely a lot more on strategy than pure luck. In the four player version without strategy you WILL lose the game. Here is the description on what you will find in Ultimate Stratego:
TWO PLAYER LIGHTING VERSION:
There are only 20 playing pieces on each side. Only two bombs and no miners (Scouts play the role of the miners plus they can move any number of places they wish). Bombs and Flags cannot move. The new Calvary movement is cool. It may move two places in a strait line or one straight change direction and one more. Sorry no jumping over other pieces. The optional Rescue rule is now standard. Whoever captures the oponent's flag wins.
TWO PLAYER CAMPAIGN VERSION:
Exactly like the lighting game but you have 20 pieces in reserve which you will bring into the game as you play. Two flags must be captured to win.
FOUR PLAYER ALLIANCE VERSION:
You must team up with another player, plan your strategy and either capture the opponent's two flags or unite your flag with your allies' flag. In this version the flags obviously move and you have cannons that fire three spaces ahead (and can fire over lakes). This version is strategy at it's purest. Since there are different cites marked on the board you can agree where to meet your flags and/or where to concentrate your attack and defense. You will have to speak code with your ally and in time you will find the "code language" is as cool as the game itself. During the game you will bring in reinforcements, defend a captured flag and try to rescue one of yours if captured. Is this game fun? YES. But it will be difficult to find three other players to sit down and play this game. I have an easier time gathering people to play chess.
Over all this game is a great addition to the original. As a two player game most people may like to stick with the old, old version (you know the one where the Marshall is ranked 1 instead of 10). As a four player game it is awesome. Plus it is nice enough to display it on your coffe table. If you like and have friends that love Stratego this is the game for you. If not you may want to stick with the original or just play chess instead.
