Saboteur is a simple card game in which players dig down and try to reach the gold or create a disaster. On your turn you will play one of your cards. All tunnel pieces must be placed in a legal fashion. The tunnel may break apart and pockets of air are fine as long as the edges of the cards line up.
There are forty tunneling cards of different styles. The board expands infinitely in all directions. The goal cards start 7 spaces away from the starting crossroads. Two of the goal spaces are empty and one has gold.

There are also action cards.
Map(2) You get to look at one of the three goal cards.
Explode(3) Remove -any- one card from the tunnel.
Block(3x3) Prevent a player from playing more tunnel cards. They may still play action cards. There are three types: broken axe, broken lantern, and broken cart.
Fix(2x3) Removes one of the blocking cards of that style.
Fix(3) Removes one of the blocking cards of any style.

So on your turn you have three choices:
1. Play a tunnel card. [May only be done if you are not blocked]
2. Play an action card.
3. Secretly discard a card.
While the draw pile remains, you will draw a new card.

The goal of the game:
Dwarves want to reach the gold.
Saboteurs want to prevent this from happening.

I expect this game to last about 50 turns. At most it will be 63. It would be good to get 5 to 7 people but 4+ would work.
