Stratego is a new iPad-only iOS release from Keesing Games. It’s not the first adaptation of the 1960s board game to hit the App Store — that honor goes to Lunagames’ version from 2011, which relies on the now-defunct OpenFeint service for its multiplayer facility — but it is the first to carry the official branding and endorsement from the original board game’s manufacturer Jumbo. It is a companion app to the game’s Facebook version, which is currently available in public beta form. The new version is a $6.99 download from the App Store, and carries additional in-app purchases of in-game currency.
