Stratego

Two players command futuristic armies on a hidden-setup board, arranging soldiers, machines and special units face-down so only the owning player sees each piece’s rank. On a turn a piece moves orthogonally; when it encounters an enemy the two pieces are revealed and ranks compared to determine which is removed, with a few special interactions (bombs, spies, and a new spotter unit) modifying outcomes. A unique spotter unit may attempt a ranged identification attack by guessing an opposing piece’s rank to capture it, or may attack normally. Play proceeds until one side locates and captures the opponent’s flag.
