Terms of Use

These terms apply to strategoplay.com ("the site"), a free browser game page run by StrategoPlay. By using the site you accept them. They are written to be read, not to be impressive.

Playing is free

The game costs nothing. There is no subscription, no paid tier, no in-game purchase and no advertising-free upgrade — the same board is available to everyone. You do not need an account, an email address or any personal details to play.

How the game is provided

The board is built into this site and runs inside your browser. Your formation and the state of a match exist only in the page: when you close the tab the match is gone, and nothing about your play is stored on our server. See the privacy policy for the full picture of what is and is not stored.

The site is provided "as is". We work to keep it running and the rules correct, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that a match will never be interrupted by a browser crash, a lost connection or a bug. It is a free game, not a paid service with an uptime guarantee.

Acceptable use

Play as much as you like, on as many devices as you like, and tell other people about the site. Please do not:

• try to break, overload or probe the site or the server it runs on;
• scrape the site at a rate that affects other visitors;
• post comments that are abusive, spam, or contain links to unrelated products;
• copy the site wholesale and publish it as your own.

The game may not be resold, and its code may not be redistributed as part of a paid product without permission.

Ads

The site covers its hosting costs with display ads from Adsterra, a third-party advertising network. Ads are plain banners around the game; there are no pop-ups, pop-unders or full-screen interstitials. What the advertising partners do with technical information is described in the privacy policy. If you run an ad blocker the banners stay empty and the game still works.

Trademarks and affiliation

StrategoPlay is an independent, fan-made site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the owner of the Stratego trademark or the publisher of the original board game, and it is not an official Stratego site. "Stratego" is used here only to describe the game being played.

The board on this site was built independently from the rules of the game. Printed rank values differ slightly between published editions; where an edition differs, the value printed on the piece once it is revealed on this board is the value used here.

Changes

If these terms change, this page changes with it. The date below is the date of the last edit. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Questions

Write to contact@strategoplay.com. That address is read by the person who builds and maintains this site, and it is the right route for anything needing a direct reply: a rights-holder concern, a correction, a comment you want removed, or a bug you can describe in detail. The contact page lists what to include in the message.

For rules questions and general feedback, the comment box on the home page is faster and often answered by other players too. Choose the email when the matter is private or specific to you.
