That said, great review, big Stratego fan, even my wife enjoys playing. It's my go to "gateway" war game for new players, love the "fog of war" feeling to it.
Now they went and messed up the game by making the number system backwards. It really makes it hard. "Mine's an 8, you're bomb is toast." "Nuh-uh, 3's are miners." Since when are 3's miners?!
Mike, have you thought about making documentaries of board game history and the history of all your other toys? I imagine you could make good money since you have so many toys there would be many films. And they would have immense educational, recreational and nostalgic value. If it ever happens, I'm hoping to see the films in Estonian stores as well!
@TheToyChannel I have it, my dad played it when he was a kid. My family still plays it, and my family are dutch. The instructions are in dutch AND english. I love this game! But hard to play against my dad. :D
@expotemkin actually you should remember that most old bored games didnt come in sealed plastic, and its the box he should worry about, but being such a proffesional with toys as he is, im sure he takes tons of precautions
OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG i have that exact one, my grandpa gave it to me and me and my dad used to play with it!!!!!!! it has the vines and everything
O...M....G i was wondering what the "original" had looked like for years. now that i have seen it i can end my 3 year search. TY so very very much. I really appreciate all the hard work you do to give us the wonderfull gems. It is my honor to keep watching you.
I'm actually Belgian and I believe my grandfather had one of these stratego's at home... Don't know if he still got it... It's probably worthless now, because it's not in "mint" condition... (3 generations played with it)
Ah, Belgium. The country created solely for the purpose of having other European countries wage war in it. And then, of course, house NATO and the EU. And have excellent beer and even better waffles and fries. And chocolate. Damn I love Belgium :-P
I am really thrilled about all these uploads because when I first subscribed to your channel, about four-five months ago, you stopped uploading videos and after I had gone through all of your videos I was hungry for more. I am a greedy fan but that is you fault for making all these fantastic videos. Thank you for making my day over and over again! Best wishes from one of you far away fans
WTF Mike! How do you have everything?! I watch your videos with my jaw dropped because I'm just amazed at the extent of your collection. Is there any toy you DON'T have?!
Have you seen the classic game reissues of these games? Target has all of the Ol time favorites done in their orignal style but in a "leather" bound book? They look neat on the shelves.
If the guys from Pawn Stars or American Pickers saw your toy collection, they'd have a heart attack. And then another one when you tell them nothing's for sale :D
@TheToyChannel O cool never knew you you replied to our comments :) Are you going to be doing any reviews soon? Like you used to talking about fail products i loved the videos and im a big fan :D Hope you reply
My god! i could name any toy and you would most likely have it! it's ridiculous! Oh and do you have any of the kinda classic Batman the animated series action figure from the 90's? you should show them off if you do! I would love to watch that!
