Stratego - like board game

Objective: The game simulates a battle between two opposing factions. Each player aims to either capture the opponent’s flag or render their opponent unable to make any moves. Components: A 10x10 grid board with ranks assigned to each piece. 40 pieces per player (red and blue), each with a hidden rank. A screen (if available) to conceal initial piece placement. Setup: Players randomly determine who plays with the red pieces (which move first). They position their pieces secretly on their half of the board (the four rows closest to them). A screen is removed to reveal the setup. Rules: Each turn, a player can make one move. Pieces move one square vertically or horizontally (no diagonal movement). No piece can occupy the central lake squares. When adjacent, pieces reveal their ranks. The lower-ranked piece is eliminated. The game ends when a player captures the opponent’s flag or renders them immobile. For more detailed rules, you can refer to Wikipedia or Club del Gioco (in Italian). Enjoy your strategic battles!
