What a Bunch of Quiters

Post by CodeBick »

It seems half my games of Saboteur ends with everyone quitting. Of all the games I play at BGA, this is the only one with this problem. Is it me? Does my Digger have halitosis?

I have noticed the same thing. It seems that it's new players that quit and they usually seem to quit when the Sabs come out. That is, the game goes on fine until the first saboteur shows up and then people just quit instead of playing the game out.

This is decidedly unfun.

Any suggestions for how to get around this problem?

1. Use the Restrict table access link (Restrict by level: Average players and above)
2. Try playing some 5 player games (with Maximum number of Saboteurs: On)

Never really met this. We usually play with restrictions of normal players and above, 50%+ rating.
