The Pieces of the Game of Stratego

Hi! This is Ken and we’re talking about the game of Stratego. The flag is what we have right out here. We have 2 colonels, and then we have 2 number 7s, and it goes down the line with the number 2s, being the scouts. We have one bomb disposal guy called a minor. The minors actually, we have 4 of them. The minors are the ones that dispose of the bombs, and this is what the bomb looks like. Basically, that’s the idea of blowing up your opponent and pieces taken off the board. You can lose opponents, you can lose your pieces, and again you’re trying to capture the flag. Higher numbers capture lower numbers. That’s the game kind of works. So, how you lay out the board is another part of the strategy. Thank you very much.
