Description of Stratego Sci Fi Card Battle
Based on the ultimate head-to-head strategy board game. Each Army is made up of 24 cards – The Field Marshal and his Officers are there, so is the Spy, the Spotter and some bombs. In fact, all the participants you would expect to find if you know or have played the Stratego board game. Most importantly, The Flag needs to be defended. The goal of the Card Battle is the same as with the full Stratego game – capture your enemy’s flag.
It is a different game play, of course – still tactical, but now combined with a fast-paced attacking game. Five cards are laid out as the front line, use them to attack your opponent. If you win the encounter you can attack again until your ‘front line’ have all had a turn. Replenish your forces and stand by for attack – it is now your opponents turn!
Each card has its own value – Field Marshal is 10, for example but the Spy that has a value of 1 can be beaten by all other cards, but if he attacks the Field Marshal, the spy wins. Miners can disarm bombs, anyone else will be destroyed by them. The way to protect your flag is different, but still calls for planning and forethought of course.
