Overview

Saboteur delivers a tense, strategy-driven experience built around hidden roles, imperfect information, and calculated decision-making. While players appear to work toward a shared objective, secret agendas ensure that every action can shift the balance of the game.

Careful path building, well-timed disruption, and knowing when to cooperate—or subtly interfere—are key to success. Each round challenges players to read intentions, adapt to changing dynamics, and make impactful choices under uncertainty.
