Stratego Strategy

These notes are original play advice for the classic 40-piece game. They are not a claimed official winning method. Hidden information means two good setups can both be right.

  • Opening — probes, bomb screens, and where the Marshal should not stand.
  • Midgame — trades, miner routes, and reading a revealed Scout.
  • Endgame — flag hunts and no-move wins.

You will get more from them after one match on the play page. The rules and piece list stay next to the advice so a rank never has to be guessed from jargon. The homepage is the fastest way back to a live board.
