Review and Download (if available)

I have 5 copies of this board game. It's quite fun and I'm looking forward to trying the game out.

I have an aversion against computer conversions of board games. There is usually no point. The complexity of a board games pales when compared to the possibilities of a computer. The only reason to have a computer version is to play against the computer and that is missing the whole point of the board game, to spend time with friends.

I agree with Picard on this one, but it can be fun depending on the complexity of the computer's AI. Think Deep Blue and Chess. Isn't Gary Kasparov the only guy who's ever beaten the computer Deep Blue in a game of chess? If the computer is adequately intelligent, it can be fun. And besides, Stratego is a great game! I used to play it all the time when I was young. I'm definitely downloading it.

I find it fun playing against Fritz in chess...winning is rewarding.

Although I'm trying Stratego to mearly see what it's like on the computer.

I believe quite a few people have beaten Deep Blue by now... since deep blue is already outdated. Israel built the second Deep blue, Deep Junior, which Kasparov also eventually beat.

Kasparov did have to try lots of times with both computers though, if you counted up the number of times one has beaten the other, Deep Blue would be the winner.

The AI is very clever! It has a supernatural ability to know where yore flag is ;)

Yes...but you can still win from it :ok:

This game is so much fun. It kicked my behind the first time through, but the second time, I had it running scared. This is one of the best board games ever made, as you decide your own strategy and where you want to put the pieces. Definently a quality game.
