The Scouts (Rank#2): We already went over the Scouts movement privileges above, but another special ability the Scout has is to move and attack in the same turn!.Some army pieces have special attack privileges, as follows: If you attack an opponent’s piece and they reveal that it is a bomb, your piece automatically gets removed from the board and the bomb stays in place. If the attack reveals that both pieces share the same rank, both pieces are “captured” and removed from the game!.The piece with the highest rank stays in the spot where the attack took place.The piece with the lowest rank gets “captured” and is removed from the game board.Each player declares which rank number is on their attacking/attacked piece.Move your army piece onto the same square that occupies your opponent’s piece which you are attacking.To attack on your turn, follow these rules in order: If you have an army piece that is adjacent (not diagonal) to one of your opponent’s army pieces, you may attack that piece instead of moving. Try not to move them more than 1 space too often to keep their identity hidden! Attack Rules However, moving the Scouts will give away their identities to your opponent since they are the only pieces you can move more than one space in a turn. Scouts can move any number of spaces in one direction per turn. The only army pieces that have a special movement privilege are the Scouts (rank #2). NOTE: The 6 Bomb pieces and the 1 Flag piece cannot be moved during the game! You cannot jump over or move onto the lake spaces on the game board.You cannot jump over another army piece.There can only be one army piece per square (unless you are in the middle of attacking).Army pieces cannot move back and forth between two spaces within 3 consecutive turns.You can only move one army piece per turn.Each army piece can only move one adjacent spot per turn with the exception of the Scout pieces (see below for more details).IMPORTANT: If you cannot perform either of these moves in a single turn, you automatically lose the game! Movement Rules Attack one of your opponent’s army pieces that is adjacent to one of yours.Move one of your army pieces into an adjacent space.The player with the red army goes first and turns alternate throughout the entire game.Įvery player must perform only one of these two actions each turn: The goal of Stratego is to be the first player to capture your opponent’s flag. You are now ready to play Stratego! How to Play Stratego Once each player has finished placing their army pieces, you may lift the fortress screen to reveal each of your armies.You should not be able to see your opponent’s labels, either. Once you have a planned layout for your army, you may place all of your pieces on your side of the board in every square of the first 4 rows closest to you.īe sure to have the labels facing you and not your opponent.Plan how you will set up your army (and flag position) by either looking in the instructions or by looking at our “Movement” and “Attack” sections below, which provide a description on the army pieces and any special privileges they might have.Place the fortress screen in the middle of the game board so that you cannot see each other’s field while setting up your armies.The player who gains control of the red army goes first.
