Designer: Fréderic Moyersoen

Fréderic Moyersoen is best known for Saboteur, his deceptively simple yet brilliantly tense hidden-role game where dwarf miners race to uncover gold while saboteurs secretly work to thwart their efforts. The original AMIGO edition and the recent Saboteur: 20th Anniversary Edition showcase Moyersoen's talent for crafting social deduction experiences that strip away complexity in favor of pure psychological gameplay—bluffing, accusation, and shifting alliances emerge naturally from minimal rules and maximum suspicion.

These games shine brightest with larger groups of 5-10 players who enjoy light-to-medium weight social interaction, making them ideal for family gatherings, casual game nights, or as gateway experiences for players new to hidden-role mechanics. Fans of Moyersoen's work appreciate his ability to create memorable moments of betrayal and discovery without overwhelming new players with elaborate rulebooks.
