Jumbo’s Stratego® Goes Mobile with Lunagames & M-Excel

[OGETARTS]

Amsterdam, Netherlands 15 June, 2005 – Jumbo International brings its famous board-game Stratego® to mobile with Lunagames and Mobile Excellence International (M-Excel). Stratego® is one of the world’s most well known board games originally invented over half a century ago. Stratego® is traditionally typically associated with a Father and Son gameplay experience, and therefore benefits from a deep emotional heritage attached to childhood memories and the principle of passing on knowledge, wisdom and secret family tricks to the next generation.

Stratego® has varied game-play allowing gamers to choose their own starting formation to protect their flag, and find and capture that of their opponent. For young and older boys who want to oppose forces in a softened duel, Stratego is the ideal game as it combines strategy with a pinch of bluff in a sound competition with the ever-popular boy’s theme of a battlefield background. This explains the long-lasting success of the game which sold millions of copies since its creation.

Stratego® will be made available worldwide in both a single and multi-player version across all key platforms including Java/MIDP, BREW, and Doja/i-mode. Development and worldwide publishing of Stratego® Mobile Edition will be completed by Lunagames, and M-Excel in which Lunagames is a key shareholder.
