I've never played Stratego, so clearly the answer must be Risk.

On a side note, has anyone played Camelot? It's a very fun checkers type of game with pawn jumping and capturing.

 

[Cariñito]

Stratego is a good game but Risk is a great game.

Stratego for me. I don’t expect this game to win out tho, most people I know have never heard of it.

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Stratego is a brilliant strategy game with infinite replay. Risk is a brilliant strategy game with infinite replay that depends a lot on lucky dice rolls. If I could only pick one it's risk but not by much.

Stratego because it can actually end in a fairly short amount of time. Risk can take all day.

Stratego. I have the game in my closet. Never played Risk but I heard it's like Monopoly in that it can take a long time to finish.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Risk for the win so far.

Risk hands down. Used to have games that would last 3-4 days. We switched from 3 dice on defence to 2 and that made the games go a lot quicker.

 

[Batjester]

Risk by a mile. Stratego was fun, but Risk is close to GOAT status.

Samurai swords/shogun > both games.

I’m going for Stratego because I’ve never heard of it.

Stratego. But Diplomacy is much better than both.
