Saboteur: The Dark Cave

Players are members of rival dwarf clans trying to escape a collapsing mine while collecting gold. Each player has a hidden clan allegiance and may secretly act to help or hinder their own side. Starting from a central mine card, players take turns placing tunnel cards to extend paths toward four corner exit cards, only one of which is the real exit. On turns, players also play equipment cards, lay traps or monsters in front of others, and use action cards to reveal exits or uncover loyalties. When a player exits the mine they reveal their identity and contribute any carried gold to their clan. The game ends once all members of a clan have escaped, and the clan with the most gold wins.
