Description Edit | History

Saboteur 2 is an expansion for Saboteur by Frederic Moyersoen, which first appeared in 2004 from Amigo Spiel. The Gigamic edition of Saboteur 2 contains the base game. All other editions are expansion only and thus require a copy of Saboteur to play.

Each player takes on the role of a gold-digging dwarf or a saboteur who wants to hinder exploration of the gold mines -- but each player knows only his own role, so the digging may or may not go as planned!

Each turn, a player lays down a tunnel card to dig from the start card toward one of the goal cards (or potentially away, if a saboteur) or plays an action card to help or hinder someone. If the diggers manage to find the gold hidden under one of the goal cards, then the diggers share the loot found there; if the gold can't be reached, the saboteurs profit instead. After three rounds, the player with the most gold wins.

The original Saboteur allowed 3-10 players, while Saboteur 2 handles 2-12 players. Saboteur 2 includes the original game (not included in the Zman US/English edition), along with additional role cards (the boss, profiteers, geologists), new action cards (steal gold, change your role), and new tunnel cards featuring doors, ladders and bridges. What's more, the gold seekers can now be divided into teams -- blue vs. green -- and only those on the team that finds the gold score anything, assuming they do of course...

6 Saboteur 2 Player Aid
Based upon the awesome Saboteur 1 Player Aid by UniversalHead, revamped for S2. Available as 4 aid spread or single aid per page. This file is for the Saboteur 2 Player Aid (4-spread). This has 4 player aids per sheet. Make sure to print at 100% scale (not scale to fit) if you want the aids to fit in the S2 box. Personally, I like to print on a medium stock (32 lb), trim, and then laminate (5mm).

12 Flowchart for determining winners UPDATED
The flowchart has two distinct versions to cover the rules discussions and updates from the designer. The new official rules are in the flowchart below, to be nice and simple for the profiteer. This one is an alternative flowchart, which accentuates the difference between profiteer and boss. In this case, the Boss is considered part of both green and blue digging teams, while the Profiteer is only part of the single winning team. It's a subtle distinction, but it changes a few of the weirder cases in the flowchart. This version is my personal preference, it should be considered a variant because it was not the final decision in the designer's poll thread as mentioned in the caption below.
