About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a massive dose of suspicion! In Saboteur Gold, you step into a dark mine with one clear goal: you're either a greedy dwarf hunting for gold, or a saboteur looking to make sure nobody finds a thing. The catch? Nobody knows who is who! The fun kicks off as you lay down tunnel cards to clear a path, only to realize that the tunnel your 'friend' just placed looks a bit suspicious... and might lead absolutely nowhere.

This 'Gold' edition is the ultimate version for those craving extra chaos. It takes the base game and cranks it up with new roles like the Boss and Geologists, plus action cards that can flip the script—like stealing gold or even switching your own identity! The big twist is that miners can now be split into teams (blue vs. green), adding a whole new layer of strategy and, of course, more reasons to point fingers at your neighbors. With new elements like ladders, bridges, and doors, the map becomes a dynamic puzzle that evolves every single turn. If you love fast-paced games where betrayal is part of the fun and the party atmosphere is guaranteed, Saboteur Gold is your next tabletop obsession for gathering the crew. It's easy to learn, but brace your mental state, because today's best friend might be the saboteur leaving you in the dark tomorrow!
