Re: Stratego
I thought Stratego was neat when I was about 9(?) years old and found one of those old wooden versions of it. I was then given several copies of the new plastic version by several people all at once for my birthday.
I also have a neat similar naval game made by someone in the 50's or 60's.
I think it's too deterministic in its mechanics though to be very interesting long-term, and to play well, one needs to memorize which enemies have moved and which have been exposed. Still, it's a classic and not too bad as a VERY early/simple intro to wargames with fog of war, though.
