E tu, Stratego?



I'm not sure why - I guess it's because of those Sharpe novels - but I really wanted to pick up the game Stratego. Do you remember that game? I never had it as a kid but I think one of my friends did.

Well, just this month, the basic version of Stratego has gone from Napoleonic armies to fantasy motif with knights, wizards and dragons. It is an admitted attempt to appeal to a wider strata of people.

*sigh*

Why can't they leave the base edition as Napoleonic and make a fantasy edition as a special?

What's wrong with piquing a kid's interest about history?

Yeah, get off my lawn. ;)

    Yeah, I agree. Why not do a special edition. LIke they do with MOnopoly.

    Ahh, the classics. Yeah, I never played it, but I do remember it.

    I bought the fantasy edition and it's sweet. Probably because I've been playing a ton of Assassin's Creed recently, so laying down bombs and "stratego-izing" with my one assassin is tons of fun for me right now.
