Saboteur
Posted: 15 March 2012, 21:17
Since the beginning of the week, you can discover and play "Saboteur" on Board Game Arena, a great game by Frederic Moyersoen published by AMIGO.
We are very excited to host this game for a lot of reasons. It's the first semi-cooperative game on our platform (the dwarves have to collaborate to get to the gold, but hey, some are traitors interested in sabotaging the whole effort!), it can be played up to ten players which is great for bringing people together... and of course it's a lot of fun! Guessing and bluffing to get everyone to believe that you are a nice and honest gold digger, while you plot to have them fail miserably, is just irresistible!
To make things even more interesting, Frederic Moyersoen presented us with not one, not two but four variants he invented to balance the game differently and vary the gameplay. These four variants are available on Board Game Arena (you will find their description on the Saboteur game page). Please tell us which one is your favorite in the forum!
BGA would like to give a big thanks to the author Frederic Moyersoen, the illustrator Andrea Boekhoff, and the publisher AMIGO for this adaptation. And you should also know that Frederic Moyersoen has got an account on BGA, so if on some game you get sabotaged without understanding how it happened, maybe you just played with him.
Also, if we manage to steer clear of dead ends and rock falls, we will soon finish digging a tunnel to another treasure: a new game on BGA. Here is the first clue to guess its name: "cursed". Enjoy!
EDIT: second clue: "king"
EDIT²: and the anwer is Caylus !
