About this board game

Stratego: Star Wars is a two-player strategy game that takes about 30 minutes to play and was released in 2002. It brings the classic Stratego format into the Star Wars universe, with each player commanding a team of 40 pieces.

Players are divided between the Dark Side and the Force. The character roster draws from Star Wars Episodes I, II, IV, V, and VI, giving the game a lineup that spans multiple parts of the saga.

Alongside its Star Wars setting, this edition introduces special powers for some of the characters. These abilities give the game an additional layer beyond standard Stratego and place it between the original game and Stratego Legends on the complexity scale.
