Stratego board game is based on the traditional Chinese board game Jungle Chess or Dou Shou Qi. Your Pieces represent individual officers and soldiers in an army.
The objective of the game is to either find and capture the opponent’s flag or to capture so many of the opponent’s pieces that they cannot make any further moves.

One of the things that make this board game so engrossing is that players cannot see the ranks of each other’s pieces, making disinformation and discovery an important element of the game.
Similiar to Traditional Jungle Chess (Dou Shou Qi) which you can also buy here, in Stratego, the gameboard is your battlefield. You have an army of men at your disposal and six bombs. Your mission--protect your flag and capture your opponent's flag.
Secretly place your men, bombs, and flag on the gameboard with these objectives in mind. But remember your opponent is doing the same thing, so you must plan a defense as well as an offense.
Once the armies are in place, advance your men. When you're one space away from an enemy, attack. You and your opponent declare ranks. The lower-ranking man is captured and out of play.
You control your pieces and risk your men in battles where the strength of your enemy is unknown. The suspense builds as your men move deeper into enemy territory. Move with caution and courage. The next piece you attack could be a bomb. And when attacked, it could "blast" your man off the board and out of play.
The first to capture an enemy flag is the winner!
