Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Betcha didn’t even know that Hasbro (ala Milton Bradley) doesn’t own Stratego, but licenses it from Jumbo Diset. Well, after 50 years of partnership, JD is not renewing Hasbro’s license to the game, which is set to expire at the end of this year.
Why are they parting ways? “Different strategic views” between the companies, whatever that means. (Hasbro wants a Dora the Explorer version and JD told them to suck it? I’m just guessing here.) The World Championship for Stratego (next one is in August) is already handled by Jumbo.
