Players work together to lay tunnel cards connecting the start to one of three goal cards—but hidden among the miners are saboteurs trying to block the path and steal the gold for themselves.

Rounds are quick and tense, with miners racing to reach gold before the deck runs out while saboteurs quietly derail progress. After each round, roles are revealed and gold is divided—but only among the winning team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anniversary edition packs in the base game, the \u003cem\u003eSaboteur 2\u003c\/em\u003e expansion, and a raft of mini-expansions and variants from years of World Championships.
