Stargate Stratego Game

May have to call it Gate-Streego!

This is a Stargate SG1 Strategy game utilizing most of the rules from the popular game Stratego. This is capture the flag at it's best - capture the Stargate!

In the original (Stratego) version, there are two small lakes that provide a "do not enter" area near the center of the board - in my version, there is a Stargate that replaces these lakes (one on each team) that allows instant travel for your players. Additional options have been provided for these spaces (including a pyramid).

Right now, the game is played using two sets of identical pieces. I am going to be adding a Stargate Villans set (they will still be identical in strength, but this will allow Stargate Command to go after Anubis, Kinsey, Replicators, Etc.)

I am also going to create a "lake plate" for those that wish to use this board for traditional Stratego.

Please enjoy!

Update 12/29/2020: Just added the "Lake Plate" to the group - see printing instructions below.
Update 12/31/2020: I have added slicer files for the "Bases" & the "Uprights" - for the bases, I have included two versions - one using supports and color change, and one without. The Uprights also have a color change.
Update 01-10-2021: I have added a printable storage box for the game - this holds the game boards and all of the pieces. You can find it here: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/51588-stargate-stratego-game-box

Print instructions

PRINTING

I printed my set in PLA and PLA+. Files have been included for all parts. None of the parts require any supports (see Stargate Bases for an alternate print)

You will want to print the following:

Stargate Uprights (pawns)

These files are the upright Stargate (playing pieces). They can be printed in two colors if desired - slice them so that the color swap occurs just after the outer ring of the Stargate is printed.

Quantities needed for each team are included in the filename. When finished, you should have a total of 80 printed pieces (40 for each team).

1. (1) - Upright - Thor.stl
2. (1) - Upright - Hammond.stl
3. (2) - Upright - Jack.stl
4. (3) - Upright - Sam.stl
5. (2) - Upright - Daniel.stl
6. (2) - Upright - Tealc.stl
7. (2) - Upright - Makay.stl
8. (2) - Upright - Bratac.stl
9. (2) - Upright - Jonas.stl
10. (2) - Upright - Janet.stl
11. (5) - Upright - GDO.stl
12. (8) - Upright - Siler.stl
13. (1) - Upright - Vala.stl
14. (6) - Upright - IRIS.stl
15. (1) - Upright - Stargate

Stargate Bases (pawn bases)

These baseplates are the other half of the playing pieces.
Quantities needed for each team are included in the filename. When finished, you should have a total of 80 printed stands (40 for each team in two colors).

1. (1) Base - #10.stl
2. (1) Base - #9.stl
3. (2) Base - #8.stl
4. (3) Base - #7.stl
5. (4) Base - #6.stl
6. (4) Base - #5.stl
7. (4) Base - #4.stl
8. (5) Base - #3.stl
9. (8) Base - #2.stl
10. (1) Base - #1.stl
11. (6) Base - IRIS.stl
12. (1) Base - SGC.stl

After printing the uprights and the bases, the gates are slid into the bases to make them complete. They should just fit - if you would like - super glue them in place.








If you wish to print the bases in two colors (to enhance the look of the number on the staircase), print the bases at 25 degrees to the surface of your slicer - these print fine using supports...








Special Note about printing: The original game uses 40 game pieces for each team - an alternate game can be played with 20 players on each team - see information at the end of this section.

Gameboard & Joiners

These are the actual Gameboad files - Each section is 5x5 squares with a grid - each section is 200mmx183mm - Once printed, these connect together using The Gameboard Joiner Plate(s) and one of four options: Gameboard Stargate, Pyramid, Blank Insert Plate, or Lake. Quantities needed to assemble a complete gameboard are included in the filename. These can either be printed in a single color, or add a pause in your slicer, and switch colors for the grid. The finished size of the gameboard, with all parts in place is 400mmx366mm!

2. (2) Gameboard Right Panel
3. (4) Gameboard Joiner Plate

Gameboard Stargate (insert and central connector) This is the Stargate that covers four (4) squares on each side of the gameboard. This also is used to hold the two-team gameboards together. Quantities needed to assemble a complete gameboard are included in the filename. They are loose fit for ease of assembly and storage (this is the same Stargate used as my Christmas Ornament).

1. (2) Gameboard Stargate Ring.stl
2. (2) Gameboard Stargate Base.stl

Gameboard Pyramid
(Alternate insert and central connector)

These parts are an alternate - this allows you to play the game without the Stargates in place, but still blocks the path (like in the original Stratego games). Quantities needed to assemble a complete gameboard are included in the filename. These parts are printed with pins and holes - this will allow you to line them up for ease of glueing them together with superglue.

1. (2) Pyramid Top.stl
2. (2) Pyramid Insert Plate.stl

Gameboard Blank Plate (Alternate insert and central connector) If you would like to use this as a simple 10x10 gameboard, than this drop in is for you. This is just an alternate blank filler plate that makes all squares on the board available for game play. This would be used with the Gameboard and Joiners. Quantities needed to assemble a complete gameboard are included in the filename.

1. (2) GB Blank Insert Plate.stl

Update: 12-29-2020 Gameboard Lake Insert (Alternate insert and central connector) These parts are an alternate - this allows you use the board exactly like a traditional Stratego game - The "Lake Plates" drop right in, one piece construction. Quantities needed to assemble a complete gameboard are included in the filename.

1. (2) GB Lake Insert Plate.stl

The Quick Game - Alternate Printing The game can also be played with only 20 pieces per team - this can reduce your print time. Quantities needed for each team are included in the filename. When finished, you should have a total of 40 printed pieces (20 for each team)

1. (1) - Upright - Thor.stl
2. (1) - Upright - Hammond.stl

RULES OF THE GAME

Based on the popular game Stratego, this is capture the flag (Stargate)

You need to protect your Stargate while trying to capture your opponents (they will be doing the same thing).

You each have 40 identical pieces - They have a rank number or letters. You also have an number of Iris's to protect your Stargate. Some of the pieces are multiples of the same character.

After selecting your color, place your pieces on the last 4 rows on your side of the gameboard. The Iris's and the Stargate can not be moved once placed. Pieces can not be placed beyond the fourth row on each side.

A piece can move 1 square per turn, forwards, backwords or sideways (no diagonal).

The gameboard is made of 10 x 10 squares. Within the board there are two Stargates - An opponent may move his piece to one of the squares in front of the Stargate - on his next turn, he may then be able to either land on an empty square (out of the other Stargate) or move to an occupied space and attack his opponent. The Stargate can be entered from the staircase side only, and travel can occur in either direction. If you enter the stargate on your turn, you must land on one of the open spaces in front of the opposing force stargate, or if the spaces are filled, attack your opponent.

If you move onto a space occupied by the opposing player, That is an attack - opponents reveal the pieces, and the weaker of the two is removed (higher number wins). If the pieces are of equal value, the attacker wins the spot.

If any opposing piece attacks your Stargate (SGC), that player is declared the winner, and the game is over. Any piece can capture your opponents Stargate.

Special Case #1: Siler (#2) can move over multiple open squares per turn, in one direction only. No piece can jump over another piece.

Special Case #2: Thor (#10) is your strongest charactor, but can be defeated by Vala (#1) - If Vala (#1) attacks the opposing forces Thor (#10) - Thor loses if Thor (#10) attacks Vala (#1) - Vala loses! - Vala loses to all other players.

Special Case #3:: If your player reaches the opposing players back row, you may rescue any one of your atttacked pieces (that had been removed from the board). That piece is placed on any open square on your side of the board. Each player is limited to 2 rescues in a game. Siler can not rescue anyone. An IRIS can not be rescued.

Special Case #5:The IRIS can only be defeated by a GDO (#3) - If a GDO attacks an IRIS - The IRIS is removed from the board, and the GDO takes it's place. Any other player attacking the IRIS other than the GDO (#3) - always loses their piece. The GDO can also defeat Siler (#2) and Vala (#1). In all cases, when an Iris is attacked, it is removed from the board.


(Look on Stratego Gaming sites for additional rules and strategies)

Design Notes

This was designed over the last month using a combination of Autocad and Fusion 360. All of the "views" of the various items were first designed in Autocad, and imported into Fusion 360 as DXF files. See picture below for some early designs and some of the test prints (for the gameboard)
