About Stratego
Stratego is famous as the board game where you are the commander of an army; use it to capture the flag of your opponent! The pieces on the board range from high to low, and you have to arrange them in such a way that you can defend and attack easily. Will you defeat your opponent? Play the one and only Stratego here online!
You can choose to use a standard setup for Stratego, but you can also setup the board yourself. You can create and load setups when you start a new Single Player or Multiplayer game, but you can also create and save them under ‘Manage Setups’ at your Profile. You can place the pieces on the board by dragging them to the square where you want to put them. When you are satisfied with your setup you can name it and save it. Previously saved setups can also be found under ‘Manage Setups’ at your profile. Here you can view, edit, rename or delete previously saved Setups.
At the moment you can play Stratego Original in full (40 piece) and quick (10 piece) mode.
In the Single Player modus you will play Stratego against the computer. We have created a special AI for this: can you beat it? The Single Player mode is an excellent way to test your created setups. If you play in Single Player mode your wins and defeats do not count towards your ranking.
If you choose to play the Multiplayer mode, you can either challenge one of your friends, or the system will choose an opponent who matches your standing in the ranking. If you chose a Full arena game, you are automatically playing for the Leagues and Ladders. While you wait for your Multiplayer game to start, you can play a Single Player game.
If you choose to play the Full Arena game the system will choose an opponent who matches your standing in the ranking. It is not possible to decline a match: if you leave the game when an opponent has been found, you will automatically forfeit the game and lose ranking points.
When you choose to play a League Match your wins will be counted for the Leagues and Ladders. The top 250 players are displayed in the Leagues and Laddders. If you see N/A after your name in your profile, it means that you are not part of the top 250. The reason for displaying the top 250 only is that calculating a ranking for each Stratego player would take up too much server time and cause a serious lag.

Playing Ranked and unranked
You can choose to play ranked or unranked with Stratego. When you play ranked your results will count toward the League results. Quick Arena matches are unranked. Friend challenges are also unranked.
The Stratego ranking is based on the famous ELO-system. This means that you go up in the ranking by winning, and when you beat an opponent who has a higher rank than you, you will receive more points. This also means that you will lose more points if you are beaten by a player who is lower in rank.
It is possible to invite friends for a game of Stratego. You can do this via the ‘Social Hub’ which appears at the right when you are logged in. Here you have three tabs: Notifications, Chatrooms and Friends. In the Friends tab you can invite friends by username, or you can add users you have recently met on the battlefield to your friends. After you click on ‘Add friend’ a friend invite will be sent. When a friend has accepted you friend invite you can also challenge him or her to a game of Stratego.
Profile
When you are logged in you will find all information about your account under ‘Profile’. Here you can change your avatar, your coat of arms, the piece art used for your pieces and the colour of your pieces. Please note that you have to choose a primary and a secondary color under ‘Your Pieces’. When your opponent has the same color for his pieces, your secondary color will be used. You can also change the piece art here. Under ‘Manage Setups’ you can create, delete and edit board setups. ‘Achievements’ shows the achievements you have collected in the game. ‘Leagues and Ladders’ shows your standing within the League and your ranking.
