Read the full game description

Adaptation of the original Stratego for the Hertog Jan breweries in the Netherlands. The historic theme of Duke Jan is applied to the game. Players only have 12 pieces. The object of the game is to conquer the tower of the other player. Each turn a player moves a piece. When a player lands on a space where a piece of his opponent stands, the players identify their pieces. Usually, the highest in rank wins and the other piece is removed from the game. Some pieces however have special abilities.
