Stratego Pirates
duel on the high seas
Pirates fighting to conquer the opponent’s flag. Attractive ships are assembled, each player takes a ship and places it outside facing the opponent. Both players have an identical set of ten pirates and line them up, backside towards the opponent. Ten action cards are on display and each player places his flag cards for Monkey, Flag and Powder Keg secretly into the slots on the ship, and then places three pirates of his choice on deck.
Action options are: Put one of your own pirates into the opposing ship - shoot through the hole in the sail, in case of success your opponent takes a pirate out of play - shoot out an opposing pirate from underneath the scull - place one of your own pirates into your ship - a pirate is put on the plank by the opponent; you can save him by flipping a coin – attack an opposing pirate - pass your turn. Ole Otter loses any confrontation but against Captain Redbeard, he always defeats him. Boris Bombenfänger defeats the bomb; the bob cannot be placed on the enemy deck,
If you have one of your own pirates on the enemy deck and he is alone there and you did choose the “attack” card or if shoot successfully in case of an empty enemy deck, you may turn over an enemy flag card. If you found the enemy flag, you have won.
In an advanced version, the currently used action card is out of play fort he round and returns to play in the next round.
Stratego for children, modified but with the same goal and adding a thrilling action element – an interesting idea; the targeted age group will need help in assembling the ship and the first plays, the pictograms of action cards and the pirates need to be explained.
