Rebel Saboteur Card Game - Bluff, Deduction, and Strategy GR0835

The Mystery of Dwarves, Gold, and… Sabotage!

In this clever card game, players take on the roles of dwarves working in a gold mine. Some of them are loyal miners whose goal is to reach the treasure, while others are saboteurs secretly trying to disrupt the construction of the tunnel. The twist is that no one knows the identities of the other players – roles remain hidden until the end of the round, when the gold is divided.

During the game, players must cooperate, bluff, and carefully observe the actions of others. Is someone truly helping to build the tunnel, or only pretending? The winner is the player who collects the most gold nuggets after the third round.

How does the game work?

The game is played over several rounds. In each round, players jointly build a maze of tunnels leading from the start card to the goal cards, only one of which hides the treasure. Depending on their secret role, players will either strive for the miners’ success or work toward their failure.

Game rules – step by step

Each player receives a set of cards and one secret dwarf card that determines their role (miner or saboteur).

On your turn, you must play one card, choosing one of three possible actions.

You may add a tunnel card to the maze so that it correctly connects with the existing cards and extends the tunnel.

You may play an action card on yourself or another player. These cards can be helpful (such as repairing tools or using a map) or disruptive (such as breaking tools or causing cave-ins).

You may pass by discarding one card face down onto the discard pile.

After performing an action, the player draws one card from the deck. The turn then passes to the next player.

The round continues until the draw pile is empty or none of the players can make a legal move.

The miners win the round if they manage to create an unbroken tunnel leading from the start card to the goal card with the treasure. The saboteurs win if they prevent this from happening.

After the round ends, all roles are revealed and gold nuggets are distributed. A new round then begins.
