The problem with giving nephews board games for Christmas
Is that you have to be a graceful loser when one of them beats you fair and square. In my defense, I haven't played Stratego in decades.

How did I escape ever playing this one? It looks like something I would have liked.
.....We never had a set - I think one of my friends from Bright's did. I think you would enjoy it! --Michael

This is, of course, the principal reason that I don't play backgammon with my 14-year old niece...

We experienced a similar Waterloo, gifting our son with a Transformers Stratego. My poor Decepticons went down to defeat several times in a row. Ah, for cavalry!
