Game Review: Stratego Junior

Gameplay

There are two different ways to play Stratego Junior, but both have the same goal: be the first player to reach the last row on your opponent’s side of the board and retrieve your stolen dinosaur egg!

Stratego Junior comes with:

• One game board

• One six-sided die, with one different type of dinosaur on each side

• 16 purple dinosaurs and 16 orange dinosaurs, each set including:

  • 2 rocks

  • 1 Pterodactyl

  • 4 Parasaurolophus

  • 4 Triceratops

  • 3 Stegosaurus

  • 1 Brontosaurus

  • 1 Tyranosaurus Rex

• 3 purple eggs and 3 orange eggs

  • One stolen egg, one empty nest, and one meteor of each color

Stratego Quest!

Stratego Quest is a memory game where essentially, you roll the die and try to find the matching-colored dinosaur. The six-sided die shows one of the six different dinosaurs. After you roll, select one of your opponent’s dinosaurs and see if it matches the dinosaur on the die. If so, you can remove the dinosaur from the board. If not, put it back in place, but remember where it is so next time, if you roll that dinosaur, you know where it is.

At the onset of the game, you can only pick up dinosaurs in the first row of four. After you remove one of the four, you can pick up the dinosaur behind it. Each time you remove a dinosaur, you unlock a new one that can be uncovered.
