PLAYED FOR YOU

Saboteur 2

Prospecting for gold in teams

10 years after Saboteur the game is given an extension. Gold prospectors want to reach the treasure, saboteurs want to put obstacles in their path; you should support members of your faction. Both factions place path cards or play action cards at other players, those cards can help or hinder you. Cards must be placed with corresponding edges; a player with an action card played for him cannot play a path card. When the treasure has been reached or nobody can play a suitable card, the round ends. The winners receive gold according to the roles in play. After 3 rounds you win with most gold.

For Saboteur 2 you use path and action cards from the basic game, the dwarves are all new: Blue and Green prospectors who vie with each other, supplemented by Chef, Profiteer and Geologist. Chef builds paths for both dwarf groups and wins always, but gets one gold less; a Profiteer wins with Prospectors or Saboteurs and takes two gold less - and the Geologist digs on his own and gets as much gold as there are crystals on the paths. There are also new path cards like double bend, bridge or path cards with crystal, ladder or door and new actions comprise, for instance, theft, or swapping of hats or inspection or swapping of hand cards.

Some games remain untouched by the passing times, Saboteur in this new extension is at least as good as the basic game, if not better; actions are more intensive and have stronger consequences, you can change roles, for instance. You should play Saboteur 2 with the largest group that you can manage to assemble to fully enjoy rivalries of the factions and the intense flavor of the game.
