This game is so much fun. Simple concept with incredible strategic ideas. 10/10 would recommend.

8/10 Stratego with many extras TLDR: Stratego where pieces until rank 6 have additional rules to make them closer in power to the higher-ranked pieces. Plus, some several board-wide spells.

Really fun game with a simple yet deep concept. It reminds me of a mix of the boardgame Stratego and Chess.

Best played against other human players as the build in AI opponents can't keep up with the complexity.
