About Stratego Online

Stratego Online is a free browser version of the hidden-rank board game, built so that a match starts in one click instead of after a download.

What you get here

One board, one opponent, forty pieces a side. You deploy your army on the lower half of a ten-by-ten grid, the computer does the same on the upper half, and neither side can see the other's ranks until pieces collide. The full rules are on the home page under "How to play", including how the spy beats the marshal and why miners are the only piece that can clear a bomb.

There is no account system, no download and no install step. The board is drawn with HTML5 and runs inside the page on a desktop browser and on a phone.

Who runs this site

This is an independent fan project run by one developer. It is not a company, it has no team behind it, and it does not sell anything. Bug reports and rule questions left in the comment box under the board go to the same person who writes the code.

Known limits

• Every match is against the computer. There is no online multiplayer and no pass-and-play mode yet.
• The game follows the standard forty-piece army and capture rules, but it is not a tournament adaptation: there are no timed matches and no official ranking.
• The board state lives in the browser tab. There is no cloud save, so closing the tab ends the match.

If a rule on this site contradicts the printed rulebook of the board game, the rulebook is right and this site has the bug.
