Stratego Board Game

Stratego is a classic strategy board game with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. While it shares conceptual similarities with the French game L'Attaque from 1908, the modern version of Stratego was officially registered by Jacques Johan Mogendorff in the Netherlands following World War II. Its iconic status was solidified when the game was licensed to Milton Bradley (now a part of Hasbro) for distribution in the United States and other international markets.

Manufacturing for Stratego occurs in several locations worldwide depending on the specific regional edition. Major production hubs include factories in the United States, Ireland, and China. The game is largely defined by its distinct rank-based gameplay and hidden information mechanics, which have remained consistent across decades of ownership transitions.

Today, the global rights to Stratego are primarily managed by the Dutch company Jumbo Diset Group (Koninklijke Jumbo). In North America, the brand has historically been licensed by Hasbro through its subsidiary Milton Bradley, though distribution partnerships frequently shift between major toy conglomerates like PlayMonster and Spin Master depending on the market and year.
