With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI until now

AI has finally mastered Stratego, a classic board game with hidden information that had long stumped state-of-the-art agents. The breakthrough came from the Nature paper (s41586-026-11036-y), achieved despite budget constraints.

Background

Stratego is a two-player strategy board game where each player's pieces are hidden from their opponent, making it a challenging domain for game AI due to its partial observability. Breakthroughs in such imperfect-information games follow recent successes in poker and other complex domains.
