Artifact Overview

Players strategically place their flag and playing pieces to win Stratego, a favorite board game from Milton Bradley. Military ranked pieces (Marshall, General, Colonel, etc.) are used to search for the enemy's flag. However, the enemy can capture your soldier with their higher ranked pieces. And beware of bombs! Milton Bradley bought the rights to the game in 1961.
