<p>Hiddewie: /* Strategy Tips */</p> <hr /> <div><br /> == Strategy Tips ==<br /> <br /> Saboteur is an easy game to play most of the time, but when it comes to tough choices, it can get a bit harder!<br /> <br /> 1: The first very obvious thing to do is to get to the gold, but getting to it is often blocked by the dreaded saboteur!<br /> So, if you and your fellow miners can figure out who the saboteur is, give him a taste of his own medicine! Try breaking as many of his tools as you can, so that he can't attack you!<br /> <br /> 2: If YOU'RE the saboteur, the first thing you want to do is find out which card holds the gold! Sometimes it's obvious because of where the miners are heading.<br /> But they can be tricky sometimes! Once you've found out, start leading them AWAY from the gold by placing paths.<br /> <br /> 3: If the you are a miner, you should try to get to the gold, but since the saboteur is pulling tricks on you, that might be kind of hard!<br /> Try dividing your team into two groups so that the saboteur is confused which path he should break.<br /> <br /> == What to do with the others! ==<br /> (Saboteur 2 only)<br /> <br /> You may not be a miner OR a saboteur!<br /> <br /> So here's what to do if you're not!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Geologist:<br /> <br /> If you start out as this guy, your win by finding crystals!<br /> Every path card visible at the end of the round that holds a crystal gets you +1 gold!<br /> That's all he does<br /> <br /> <br /> Boss:<br /> <br /> The boss wins if either (or both) of the green and blue miners win! But, when the gold is divided, he gets 1 nugget less than the others. <br /> The boss wins by himself if the gold is reached but the path is blocked for both blue and green miners AND there is no Profiteer. Then he gets 4 nuggets.<br /> <br /> Profiteer:<br /> <br /> The profiteer wins no matter what happens, but gets 2 nuggets less than everyone else. If you pick this up, it could be pretty good for you!<br /> <br /> <br /> Green miner:<br /> <br /> If you start out as a green miner, then you are on a separate team from the rest.<br /> But you don't necessarily know who is on you're team.<br /> <br /> Blue miner:<br /> <br /> Same thing as a green miner, except you're blue!<br /> <br /> <br /> Doors:<br /> <br /> Doors are paths that you can place. If you place a blue door, then only the blue miners can continue on this specific pathway.<br /> However, if you place a green door, then only the green miners can pass through that way.<br /> <br /> Ladders:<br /> <br /> If you're pathway is broken by the saboteur so you cannot get by, simply place a ladder path in the separated pathway.<br /> Then, you can continue to create the pathway even if the saboteur has made a gap between the starting card and the pathway, you can still continue to build there.<br /> <br /> With good wishes,<br /> <br /> ~Endaz</div>
