Wow! This game had us all laughing, shouting, moving, and thinking. A very dynamic and fun game that is good for small gatherings, but works better as numbers increase. Small children might not be the best participants, but could still join in as part of a larger group.
Nice tin & good ideas on the cards.
My only problem is that it states up to age 12 for this one, and it was a little boring for my 10 year old. I do think that children under 2nd or 3rd grade will love playing this, so I will keep it in mind for the younger ones, but the age recomendations are not totally accurate.
It does have great ideas you could even use on road trips or just for fun anytime, so it's a keeper. Nice little tin it comes in too, easy to pop in your purse for when the family is eating out and need something to do while you wait for your food with younger kids.

This version of Stratego is similar to the classic version, with one notable (and arguably major) exception: the number of playing pieces has been reduced.
The game pieces are revamped for a fire-versus-ice fantasy setting: the Spy is now a Slayer, who can take out the highest-ranked Dragon piece. Name changes aside, the gameplay remains the same as the original game. However, the number of pieces has been reduced from forty to thirty, and the gameboard therefore only has three rows of ten spaces instead of four on each side of the board. This alteration in the board alone can considerably change winning game strategies compared to the classic version.
The game also supplies rules for an optional variant on the game ... Read More:

My son, now 40, who played this game as a child, searched for the game for his children, ages 6 and 2 1/2. Fortunately, I found it on Amazon, and had it shipped directly to their home. They are enjoying it as much as their dad. We all highly recommend this game.
Was intrduced to this game by a group of folk's who have "gathering's" through out the country (so there's usually a large # of player's)& i just had to have my own & was able to get a set of dice from someone there & have since purchaced other set's direct from the company to hand out as gift's.
I used to hate Risk. A couple of my friends back in high school tried to get me to play a few times and I absolutely hated it. Seriously... playing with little tiny men, cannons, and horses; rolling dice to take over the world? NO thanks! But a funny thing happened. Fast forward 20 years and someone breaks out Risk at a small gathering. Begrudgingly I accept the offer to play, and wonder of wonders, I had a great time! After that night, a small group of Risk fans began to gather once a week to play Risk together. During one of our sessions, we discovered some rule variations in the back of the instruction manual, things like "Commander Roll" and "Capital Conquest" mode. We incorporated these rules and a few others and Risk only got better!

My son is turning 4 next month and he LOVES this game. We just got it 2 days ago and we've played it multiple times and he keeps on asking for more. I love how it is a great, positive, confidence-builder game with the "I can do that" little tasks it asks you to do. It's also good with counting 1-2-3's and then counting again at the end with the stars. We've had a lot of fun with this so far. A great family game.
