  • Not working right

    Intermittently does not give you an opponent. - I removed the game and reinstalled. Seems to work again.
  • Sean come back to us

    I too used this app for many years and have been a fan so Sean since early 2000 when Slay came out. This version needs to be rolled back ASAP. Opponent pieces don't appear except for the 1. Also went to the forums and they appear dead no updates on there either since several years ago.
  • Almost perfect

    Local 1v1 is absolutely necessary. It gets a 4 instead of 5 for that reason alone. Please add it asap. No one would complain if you added online pvp but its not necessary. Stats would be a welcome addition as well. Also huge flaw... The enemy 1 piece doesnt attack unless it knows the other piece its attacking before it attacks. The enemy ran out of all pieces except its 1 and it refused to attack me Even though my flag was exposed. It decided to stalemate instead of taking a chance on a guess. The rest is perfect

  • Good game. Price point a bit high.

    I think this is a good port of stratego. Only complaint is the price.

    There are some features I'd like:

    Stats - wins/loses
    Game Center - could have which setups you've won with.
    Versus another player - could black out screen after you've moved and click a button to reveal for 2nd player.
    Spotter option- newest Stratego has spotter as lowest spot. May want to think of adding that.

  • Almost great

    This version of the original board game is good but has a few kinks. The AI is a bit questionable, goofy move choice and it has perfect piece memory unlike humans. No multiplayer is borderline inexcusable, but part of the deal. Completely 100% worth the cost of the app. Also I can't seem to find a way to save my sets for use at a later date.

  • Great App, but . . .

    I love the game and play it all the time. I love how the app is like the real game, and not a stupid spinoff version. However, it could be made even better if you added a multiplayer mode. Great game, though.
  • Update soon?

    Great game However a 2player option would be nice or at least wifi with a random opponent. Also a more challenging play (difficulty settings perhaps), after all, there are many free apps with more freedom in play than that of this one. Also, it would be nice to save favorite set-ups
  • computer has several advantages

    The player cannot repeat a move 3 times, yet the computer is allowed to repeat its moves. Computer seems to know where the bombs are placed and will avoid hitting them. Please correct these issues.
  • If this worked with game center it would be epic

    the game is fun the the setup is the same every time. If it had multiplayer that would eliminate this issue and make it a 5 star game.
  • Fun... Need a hard difficulty

    This is fun and perfect size on the iPad. Lots of people complaining about the graphics but you can change the look of the pieces by clicking on the red castlelike icon.

    I would like a scoreboard. Sometimes i wish there was an undo button but its stratego, you cant have an undo because the piece is revealed.

    I would like a harder difficulty, though the computers have great strategies.
