Game Annoncement: Beloved 1940´s Board Game Stratego gets Stream Release
Wanted 5 Games is excited to announce that Stratego is getting a Steam release. The celebrated board game has sold over 40 million copies and is heading from the kitchen table to PC later this year. For those wanting to play Stratego Online early, a demo will be released on June 11th.
80 years of strategy
The premise of Stratego is simple: capture the opponent's flag to win. The beauty of the game lies in its strategy: players start by arranging their 40-piece army (including their flag) in a hidden formation on their side of the board. Each player will take turns moving or attacking using a single unit, with the stronger piece winning the skirmish. Deduce where opponents have placed their strongest units, carefully declare battle, and ultimately capture their flag. Additional interactions like unique unit type mechanics and the mind games you can play against your opponent between rounds add a deeper layer to the game.
Classic gameplay reimagined
Beyond classic player-versus-player gameplay, Stratego Online brings the board game to life through a single-player campaign spanning more than 15 challenging levels set in the 19th-century Napoleonic era. Fancy a battle of wits against a real opponent? A robust ranking system allows you to pair with opponents of similar skill levels as you climb the online ladder. If playing against other people isn’t your thing, there are a variety of bots you can face in order to level up your Stratego skills.
Gameplay Features:
Single-player campaign featuring 15 handcrafted missions to conquer.
Climb the ranked ladder all the way up to Grandmaster.
Practice against bots to level up your skill.
Cross-platform capabilities allow you to play against people on all supported platforms (iOS, Android, and PC)
