Which stratego versions are the best & which versions are the most popular? The most popular versions are not always the best. Obviously if a particular Stratego version has been marketed well, then it is more likely to be a more popular. Also the amount of time a particular version has been available would obviously increase it's popularity. An Independent Rating of each Stratego versions popularity
N.B. This is not a rating of how good each game is. It is merely a rating to indicate (roughly) how many people play each game.
A rating of "How good is each version of Stratego" is a very personal thing, which would be very difficult to represent from an independent point of view. For this reason I cannot give an independent rating for the strength of each game. I have however, included my "personal" ratings for each game below. This indicates how good I rate each game.

What is Stratego?Background Information "Stratego" was patented in 1909 and has remained unchanged since the idea was conceived nearly 100 years ago. It is a game of skill played between 2 players, each controlling identical pieces. Each player starts with 40 pieces each and is played on a 10 × 10 square board. These pieces represent individual officers and soldiers in an army. “Stratego” has sold over 25 million board games (world wide) and is very popular in the Netherlands, Germany and the U.S.A. For more information about the game, please visit the Wikipedia "Stratego" page. Official "Back of Box" description of the game. On a lonely battlefield you meet your opponent for a skirmish that will decide the fate of your army. You must plan the battle, advance your men, attack and capture the enemy Flag. Your Marshal is your strongest man, but vulnerable if not protected from the Spy. Your Scouts are weak but mobile and effective in discovering your enemy's manpower. You need the skills of Miners to disarm enemy Bombs, so don't lose them all early in the battle. Plant your Bombs skilfully. They will protect the most precious piece on the game board, your Flag. Stratego is a game where skilful planning, clever deception and good memory work are used to defeat your opponent. Every time you play the battle is different. Game Variations There are 3 popular versions of Stratego and several less popular ones. The 3 main versions are:
Other Stratego variations include: Duell, R.P.S, Stratego Legends, Stratego 4, Alliance Campaign, Alliance Lightning & Ultimate Campaign.
Where could you find each different version being played?
