Editing Stratego (section)

====New pieces and versions====
In the late 1990s, the Jumbo Company released several European variants, including a three- and four-player version, and a new ''Cannon'' piece (which jumps two squares to capture any piece, but loses to any attack against it). It also included some alternate rules such as ''Barrage'' (a quicker two-player game with fewer pieces) and ''Reserves'' (reinforcements in the three- and four-player games). The four-player version appeared in America in 1997.

Starting in the 2000s, Hasbro, under its Milton Bradley label, released a series of popular media-themed Stratego editions.

Besides themed variants with substantially different rules, current production includes three slightly different editions: sets with classic (1961) piece numbering (highest rank=1), sets with European piece numbering (highest rank=10), and sets that allow substitution of one or two variant pieces such as ''Cannons'', usually in place of scouts.  Sets produced since 1970 or so have uniformly adopted the rule that scouts can move and strike in the same turn.
