<p>JayPeper: </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 /> * 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 they can't attack you!<br /> <br /> * 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 /> * If 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 about which path they should break.<br /> <br /> == What to do with the others! ==<br /> You may not be a miner OR a saboteur, so here's what to do if you're not!<br /> <br /> === Selfish dwarf ===<br /> * This dwarf (with a red jacket) can only win if they manage to complete the connection to the treasure himself. <br /> * If they succeed, they get four gold nuggets while the other players get nothing at all. <br /> * If another gold digger completes the connection, the selfish dwarf takes no part in the treasure sharing.<br /> * Sabotage as often as you like to block your fellows and saboteurs, but don't do it too much or...<br /> <br /> === Geologist ===<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 /> * If there are 2 geologists, they split the gold (rounding down).<br /> * To maxmize your gain, dig a long path and lying sometimes to find more crystals. But don't lie too much or you will be mistaken as a sabotaur.<br /> <br /> === Boss ===<br /> * The boss wins if either (or both) of the green and blue miners win! But, when the gold is divided, they get 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 they get 4 nuggets.<br /> * To win as Boss, act as a miner but place both green and blue doors to block the path. Also, try to prevent both green and blue winning.<br /> <br /> === Profiteer ===<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 /> * The profiteer wins nothing if they get less than 3 gold. So attempt a situation with neither green or blue win, or work with the sabs!<br /> <br /> === Green/Blue miner ===<br /> * If you start out as a miner, then you are on a separate team from the rest.<br /> * Also you don't necessarily know who are on your team.<br /> * To win as a miner, place doors with your colour to block the other team from winning. Use maps to locate the gold fast before it is too late.<br /> <br /> == New Elements ==<br /> <br /> === Doors ===<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 /> 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 and ArielFriedrichGauss</div>

<p>JayPeper: </p> <hr /> <div>==Gameplay==<br /> * 14 marbles per player are placed on a 6 size hexagonal board. Black moves first.<br /> * On your turn, each player may move either a marble or a column of marbles one space in any direction.<br /> * If the move is in-line, marbles are moved as a column into free space. If the move is side-step, they are moved sideways.<br /> * When a player's column faces an adjacent opponent's column with fewer marbles and it is not sandwiched (sumito), he can push one marble 1 space. They may choose to push two if the column has 3 marbles.<br /> * At any turn, no more than 3 of your marbles can move. So any column larger than 3 is not in a sumito.<br /> * Marbles pushed out of the rim are captured and are not in play.<br /> <br /> ==End of the Game==<br /> * The player who first pushes 6 opponent marbles wins.<br /> <br /> ==Variants==<br /> * Setup: Two extra different setups, named Belgian Daisy and German Daisy, are available.</div>
