The Jumbo Group (based in the Netherlands) has announced a new version of the classic game of Stratego to celebrate the upcoming bicentennial remembrance of the Battle of Waterloo. This new version, aptly named Stratego: Waterloo, is at its heart the familiar game of hidden identities and a simple battle mechanism. However, the game is striving to be much more.
Some of the major additions to the classic game of Stratego include a custom battle die, action cards, and a third faction. The battle die allows for varied results for conflicts in which both sides have equal attack power. Action cards provide an intriguing new element to the game, offering additional movement and battle options. What’s more, there are now three factions: the French army (blue), the Allied army (red), and the Prussians (black). In the game, “players choose if they wish to play the French army (Blue) or the Allied army (Red). The French player has at his disposal 47 pieces. The Allied player only has 45 pieces, but after the 12th turn can count on the arrival of the Prussian reinforcements (Black) consisting of 13 pieces.”
