Tips saboteur

Strategy Tips

Saboteur is an easy game to play most of the time, but when it comes to tough choices, it can get a bit harder!

1: The first very obvious thing to do is to get to the gold, but getting to it is often blocked by the dreaded saboteur! So, if you and you're fellow miners can figure out who the saboteur is, give him a taste of his own medicine! Try breaking as many of his tools as you can, so that he can't attack you!

2: If YOU'RE the saboteur, the first thing you want to do is find out which card holds the gold! Sometimes it's obvious because of where the miners are heading. But they can be tricky sometimes! Once you've found out, start leading them AWAY from the gold by placing paths.

3: If the you are a miner, you should try to get to the gold, but since the saboteur is pulling tricks on you, that might be kind of hard! Try dividing you're team into two groups so that the saboteur is confused which path he should break.

What to do with the others!

     (Saboteur 2 only)

You may not be a miner OR a saboteur!

So here's what to do if you're not!

Geologist:

If you start out as this guy, you're idea of winning is simply finding crystals! Every path card placed that holds a crystal gets you +1 gold! That's all he does

Boss:

The boss wins simply if either the green or blue miners win! (As far as I know)

Profiteer:

The profiteer wins no matter what happens. If you pick this up, it could be pretty good for you!

Green miner:

If you start out as a green miner, then you are on a separate team from the rest. But you don't necessarily know who is on you're team.

Blue miner:

Same thing as a green miner, except you're blue!

Doors:

Doors are paths that you can place. If you place a blue door, then only the blue miners can continue on this specific pathway. However, if you place a green door, then only the green miners can pass through that way.

Ladders:

If you're pathway is broken by the saboteur so you cannot get by, simply place a ladder path in the separated pathway. Then, you can continue to create the pathway even if the saboteur has made a gap between the starting card and the pathway, you can still continue to build there.
