Stratego reversal

Post Reply New Topic

You can ignore this if you want, I just needed to rant a little bit about how sometime in the mid-90s someone decided it would be a good idea to reverse all the numbers in Stratego

Okay, that's about all I needed to say

Do what with the who now? ©

I have no idea what you are talking about

It's a board game.

More info? What type of board game is it? OR do I dare get out more?

This is Stratego, well, minus the chess pieces... :

That means nothing to me, sorry Thanks for posting pictures though

Higher numbers can kill lower numbers. A number is a rank. A spy can kill a 10, but anything can kill a spy except a 10 I think. Bombs kill anything except a 3 who also functions as a miner.

The number reversal pissed me off to no end... I guess kids these days couldn't grasp their tiny brains on how a 1 is supposed to be capable of beating a 2...

My brain is still thinking that 1 is rank 1, highest rank, #1, nothing beats it (except Spy, in certain instances)

I try to reverse my brain, but it doesn't want to...I have to keep checking the list to figure out which one is the miner, scout, etc.
