## Description
Sabotage is like a spy movie turned board game - but here you're the star! Two teams face off in a battle of wits: Spies trying to save the world while Villains do everything to stop them. The board is a 4x4 grid where each team has their own map, separated by a divider - after all, spies need their secrets! Each round, four dice are rolled and everyone simultaneously programs their moves by spending these dice as resources. Villains act first, trying to deduce the Spies' location based on the clues they're forced to give when moving. It's a cat-and-mouse game where teams unlock new abilities and gain more dice as the match progresses. To win, Spies must hack eight times before Villains hit them five times. Get ready to bluff, deduce, and hide - all at once!
