In Saboteur, players take on the role of Dwarven Miners who are digging for gold in a cave. Suddenly, a pick axe swings down and shatters the mine lamp. A Saboteur has struck! But which of the players are the Saboteurs? Will you find the gold, or will the fiendish actions of the Saboteurs lead them to it first?

 

With the help of Dwarf Cards, each player is assigned a 'secret role': either Miner or Saboteur. The Start Card and the three Gold Cards are placed onto the table away from one another. Gold Cards are placed face-down, so nobody knows what the worth of each one is. Players play Path Cards forming a route from the Start Card leading to the Gold Cards. After three rounds, the player with the most gold is the winner.

 

Will you help the other Dwarven Miners reach the gold? Or will you be the Saboteur, working against them, feeding your greed?
