Description
Saboteur is a card game where players take on the roles of dwarves mining for gold, or saboteurs trying to hinder their progress. The game revolves around strategically placing path cards to create a tunnel network leading to gold. Players must overcome obstacles using action cards, while saboteurs secretly work to disrupt the miners' efforts. Players keep their identities hidden, fostering distrust and strategic decision-making as they navigate the mines. The game ends when a path to gold is completed, or when the deck of cards is exhausted, with rewards being given to the most successful players.
