Stratego is a strategy board game for two players on a board of 10×10 squares. Each player controls 40 pieces representing individual soldier ranks in an army. The objective of the game is to find and capture the opponent's Flag, or to capture so many enemy pieces that the opponent cannot make any further moves (source of information: Wikipedia).

A player arranges his ranked soldiers unseen to his opponent. The opponent then advances his own unseen ranked soldiers towards the opponent's side and when rank defeats rank in one-on-one 'risk strikes,' the winner advances in position and continues to hunt for the opponent's team flag piece.

A video game version of Stratego was released for Windows 95 in 1998, and it received favourable reviews, offering players the chance to create various on-screen arrays of ranked soldiers for strategic advancement and well-positioned defense. The graphics are ok too, and it brought some nice following for the esoteric but 'cult culture' favorite board game.

Below are a listing of actual Stratego tournaments, and a picture of the Windows 95 video game. I've also included an Amazon link where you can buy the video game.
