Stratego

stratego

please tell me someone else gets this…

So we buy 90% of our good beer and wine from Trader Joe’s, and it usually involves combining a trip to Adventure or being in Camelback corridor, so we stock up.   Is it a sign of being bad parents if you have 2 little kids in 2 little carts and are buying about 5 cases of beer?   Trader Joe’s now sells Simple Times for $12 a case in cans or $16/case in bottle – how bad can it be?

  1. Yeah, this one I got. It’s like one of those impasse situations in Stratego where everyone is out to get everyone else, but no one can move.

    It reminds me of “Risk” with all the opposing colored armies awaiting the throw of the dice.

    Even better is the situation in “Diplomacy” that occurs when six nations’ armies/navies are all at each others’ throats and nothing actually happens.

    Of them all, I prefer “Diplomacy” although it requires about 36-48 nonstop hours and at least this much brew, plus assorted other goodies.

  2. its sorta Risk-like, but the colors are a perfect match for Statego. there are also 36 soldiers each, Stratego has 40 per.
