Stratego!

Do you remember playing Stratego as a kid? You know, the board game where two players try to either capture the opponent's Flag or capture so many enemy pieces that the opponent cannot make any further moves.

Game play requires careful thought and, obviously, strategy.

For some, it’s just a game. For others, winning is the only option.

I know people who live their lives where winning is the only option.  Divide and conquer, then destroy what’s left.  Their thirst for power is unending and they WILL achieve dominance by any means.

It’s sad to watch these warriors use people  – good people – for their own gain, regardless of how short lived the gain may be.

I always say, “You may not win the battle, but you can win the war.”

Winning the war (your game pieces are your army) is really the goal of Stratego.  Slow and steady in your moves.  Know your opponent and wait for the opportunity to make your move (or form them to make the wrong move).

Sometimes your actions drive the opponent into a move that causes a totally unexpected reaction, and you WIN!
