Description

In this version of the classic board game you lead your troops into battle against the computer opponent in a race to capture your enemy's flag before he gets yours. Initially you can't see how the enemy has positioned his troops and he can't see yours which gives ample opportunity for bluffing and deception from both sides.

"4 out of 5. We recommend the program to board game lovers." - Download.com

"It's like chess spliced with Minesweeper and Guess Who. Bearing in mind how important subterfuge and bluffing are in the original game, the silicon opponents provided are remarkably sharp." - EuroGamer.com

Don't suppose anybody knows if you get any instructions with it

Need improvements...

It will be 5 stars if these features are added:
(1) the International Stratego Federation's rule for continuous chasing situation. I was playing it yesterday and it was an endless continuous chase in the end that forces me to surrender.
(2) a two player option: both players on the same phone or players connect with bluetooth and/or wifi;
(3) an option of secrecy, i.e. when a piece is attacked or under attacked, the ranks are not disclosed. in other words, there is a third person who determines the outcome, so we as the players know only that e.g. that piece that won is higher than rank 5, but we are not sure how higher;
(4) an option for the defender to move into the attacker's space if the defender won the battle,, i.e. if player A attacks player B and player B (the defender) won, then he has to move his piece into player A's (the attacker's) space.
(5) if it has not yet been implemented, the AI should be able to surrender, this ensures that we don't waste time on an obviously already won game but AI does not surrender...
(6) make the pieces bigger for bigger fingers
(7) the ability to save&load games
(8) the ability to create&save my own setup
(9) the statistics of my games

Needs loads of work...

Stratego is an amazing game... But this is an unfortunate and unworthy iPhone version of the classic. This game needs to embrace the potential of iPhone graphics, and make the battleground more interactive and more visually striking. Being able to zoom into the board would make the tiny pieces easier to manage. The ai is not i enough and the game should have an optional two player mode. For £2.50 this game is well short of the mark and even though I love stratego the board game, I regret this purchase. Avoid unless this game gets upgraded!
