Stratego is a two-player board game where each player commands an army of pieces, each with different ranks and abilities. The objective is to capture the opponent's flag while protecting your own. Players strategically place their pieces on a 10x10 board, keeping their identities hidden from the opponent. During the game, players take turns moving their pieces and engaging in battles. When two pieces occupy the same space, the higher-ranked piece wins, and the lower-ranked piece is removed from the board. The game combines elements of strategy, deception, and memory, making it a popular choice for board game enthusiasts.
