You're Right! Stratego is a sort of military hybrid of checkers and concentration. Each player has an identical army of units. The identity of these units is known only to the player owning them. (In the boardgame, the units are stand-up pieces of plastic with their identities printed on the side facing the owning player.) There is a strict hierarchy of units, with a unit being able to "capture" any unit below them on the hierarchy. There are some special units: Bombs destroy ("capture") any unit which attacks them (except the Miner unit, which destroys them), but they can't move, and thus can only defend. The Marshal is the highest-ranking unit and thus rules the battlefield, unless he is attacked by the Spy, who can defeat him (but not on defense). The object of the game is to capture the enemy's Flag unit, which is vulnerable to any attack. Straightforward enough for kids.
