Stratego
Capture the flag
Stratego is a two-player board game of strategy and deception.
Each player arranges forty pieces of varying ranks on their half of the board, hidden from the opponent.
Players take turns moving pieces and attacking, with higher ranks capturing lower ones—except the lowly Spy, who can defeat the Marshal.
The goal is to capture the opponent's Flag or eliminate their ability to move.
The game rewards bluffing and memory, since piece identities are revealed only through combat.
