I just got this in the mail from Target who apparently has dropped the product. Since the price more than doubled over the weekend, it seems this item has become a limited piece.
Stratego is a classic game and this edition is a fine reproduction. My wife tells me the board, with two lakes and a river, isnt of the original vintage. The materials seem to be very quality, and the "library" container makes the game really stand out. I know my family will enjoy having this for years to come.

I'm 36 years old and I remember playing this game in the 5th grade. I loved it then and I love it now! When I saw they had a wooden classic version it took all of .00009 seconds to say "yes, I want it". :-) The nice looking wooden box is a very nice container for one of the best games in the world. If you're looking at this game then you already know how fun it is.
The wooden case is a tight fit for the player pieces and the board which is very nice so things don't slide around. This makes it a perfect travel game as well. The plastic pieces are just right BUT the paint on them does wear off after only a short time. Not to the point where you can't see them but I'm probably going to have to replace them because we really do play a lot.
What would be nice is if they had wooden pieces as well. Until then I will continue to play and enjoy this classic game of stratego for years to come.

Stratego is a wonderful game that I rediscovered as an adult, many years after last playing it in a neighbor's basement as a kid. It is simple, unintimidating and fun, but it exercises one's power of observation as well as deductive reasoning and strategic thinking skills (as the name implies). There is enough serendipity and luck involved to make it a great game for adults to play with kids; you won't be bored silly or have to "let 'em win."
Comparing the various versions of Stratego, this Library Edition is definitely the one to buy. The deluxe, embossed game pieces are the primary reason, but the durable, attractive, secure wooden box is the icing on the cake.
Please note that this version uses the traditional "American style" game-piece ranking (lower number equals higher rank), whereas other current American editions have reversed that scheme to match the European version of the game.

I remember this game from my childhood and it is just as fun now as it was then. There is a lot of strategy involved but not as much as chess and much quicker to play than Risk making it a great game to play with kids. If you are tired of taping cardboard boxes of your kid's favorite games I would highly recommend this wooden boxed version. It is well worth the extra money and it is the only way I will buy games in the future!

For the longest time me and my sister have been playing this game on the oldest board known to man. (You know . . . the discolored garage sale looking ones) I bought this one for her for Christmas and she loved it. The wooden box it comes in is very stylish and the board itself is very nice and clear. The pieces are also nicely detailed. A great up-dated version of the game!
