About Stratego Game — Free Browser Game

Last updated: November 2026

Stratego Game is a free browser game site. It exists for one reason: people search for this game, land on pages about the physical boxed board game, and never find a version they can actually play. This site is that missing page — press a button, and a full game of hidden-piece strategy starts on the same screen.

What you get

How it works

The game itself is not built by us. It is a self-hosted, browser-based implementation of the classic hidden-piece strategy game, made by the team at Master of the Flag, and it is embedded here with their server's permission. We wrote the rules guide, the strategy advice and the FAQ on this site; they wrote the game engine. If the game itself misbehaves, that is their code, not ours — but tell us anyway and we will pass it on.

About the name

“Stratego” is a registered trademark of Hasbro / Jumbo. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hasbro or Jumbo, we do not sell board games, and we have no connection to the official product. The name is used here only to describe the genre of game — the same way a site about chess variants might name chess. Everything on this site is a free browser version built on the same public rules.

If you are looking to buy the physical board game, this is not the place; buy it from a licensed retailer.

The rules we follow

The implementation follows the standard rules: 40 pieces per side, one-square orthogonal movement, scouts that run like rooks, six immobile bombs, five miners that defuse them, a spy that kills the marshal only when attacking, and a flag that ends the game the moment it is captured. The full breakdown is on the How to Play page.

Who runs this site

A small independent web project. No company behind it, no venture funding, no ad network popups. If something is broken or you have a rules question, contact us.
