Stratego Card Game

Attack the Flag

The classic game of Stratego, played with 23 cards for each player. From your face-down deck you draw eight cards at the start, lay five of them out for your front line and take three in hand for replenishing purposes. Red begins and then players alternate their turns.

A turn starts with drawing up to three cards from the deck, if necessary, and then continues with attacking the opposing front with a card from your own front and finally with filling gaps in your front line from your hand. For an attack you choose a card from your own front line, reveal it and touch, that is, “tap” a card in your opponent’s front line with your card. Your opponent now reveals this card and both cards are compared. The stronger card wins the encounter and is put back face down into the front line, the weaker card is discarded. In case of cards with equal strength both cards are discarded. Spy, Scout, Flag and Bomb have special functions. The spy wins when attacking the Marshal, but always loses when it is attacked. Instead of an attack you can reveal a spy in your front line and look at the hand of your opponent. The Scout allows you to look at two cards in your opponent’s front line. A bomb removes the attacked card. You can reveal your own flag in the front line, if you have it there, and then remove the complete line, shuffle all remaining cards and lay out a new front line. You win if you conquer the opposing flag or your opponent cannot attack.

The card game offers a handy version of Stratego, easy to take along and playable everywhere; it has all the essential elements of the game, but allows you faster changes in your strategy.
