Guide Review - Star Wars Stratego

The goal is simple: capture your opponent's Command Center. One side plays with Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, and the Emperor. The other side has Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Yoda.

Star Wars Stratego offers rules for four versions of play. The basic game is identical to classic Stratego. The "special powers" version includes all 80 playing pieces, but a dozen of them (e.g. Yoda, Luke Skywalker, the Emperor, Darth Vader) can take advantage of powers like vision, leaping and charging. The third version includes just characters from the original trilogy, while the fourth is limited to characters from Episodes I and II. No matter which version you play, Star Wars Stratego is a solid game.
