Catalogue information
Jumbo released this game under license from the Jewish inventor Mogendorff and later bought all the rights. The rules of the game state on the back: "© Hauseman & Hötte n.v. Amsterdam legal ged. 77543 - morque dép. / Gesetzl. History 209823 - regd. 778395". Hausemann & Hötte was the company that marketed games under the name Jumbo. Jumbo chose Milton Bradley (MB) as its partner, a company that was later acquired by Hasbro. The resulting English Stratego was patented in the United States in 1960 by MB under number 695.583 and first marketed in 1961. The wooden pieces were used from 1958 to 1963. Before that, the pieces were made of cardboard on wooden feet. The photos are from a game by the Spruyt family.
