Game: “Levend” Stratego
Levend Statego is a real life form of the tabletop game Stratego.

Why is Stratego Fun?
Stratego is a game where you have to remember a lot of things during the game and use that information to outthink your opponent. The fun part is to win of the other player, by making smart moves and using tactics to trick that opponent. The tactical part makes the game fun.

What makes the Real life version different than the normal version?
The main difference between the two, is the possibility to play the game with more than 2 people at the same time. Another difference is that the game is much quicker and it has become a physical game instead of an board game.

Why is Levend Stratego Fun?
The same tactical rules from the normal Stratego still apply to the real life version. Above that, the real life version combines the Stratego rules with the rules of tag. It becomes a tagging game, when you know that someone has a higher card than you.
It’s fun to do it with a lot of people, because you have to work in teams. You share the tactical parts from the original game, but with multiple players. You can also back-up another player when you know that the tagger has a certain card. The tactical part of Stratego is still the main reason that Levend Stratego is fun, but it gets extended by the teamwork.
