In Saboteur, players take on the roles of dwarves working their way through a mine in search of hidden gold - but not everyone has the same goals. At the start of each round, secret role cards are dealt, assigning some players as gold-digging allies and others as saboteurs trying to disrupt their progress.

Every turn, players choose to play a path card to extend the tunnel toward one of three concealed goal cards, use an action card to help or hinder others, or discard and draw. Miners hope to build an uninterrupted route to the treasure, while saboteurs play cleverly to block tunnels, break tools, or mislead their companions without being discovered. After three rounds, the player with the most gold nuggets collected emerges victorious.
