Players take on the role of dwarves As miners they are in a mine hunting for gold Suddenly a pick axe swings down & shatters the mine lamp The saboteur has struck But which of the players are saboteurs? Will you find the gold or will the fiendish actions of the saboteurs lead them to it first? After three rounds the player with the most gold is the winner With the help of Dwarf Cards the players are assigned their role either miner or saboteur The roles are kept secret- they are only revealed at the end of the round The Start Card & the three Goal Cards are placed onto the table each seven card widths apart from each other The Goal Cards are placed face-down The gold is on one of the Goal Cards but nobody knows which Players have cards in hand On a player&s turn he must do one of three things place a Path Card into the mine play an Action Card in front of a player or pass The Path Cards form paths leading to the Goal Cards Path Cards must be played next to a already-played Path Card All paths on the Path Card must match those on the already-played cards & Path Cards may not be played sideways The miners are trying to build an uninterrupted path from the Start Card to a Goal Card while the saboteurs are trying to prevent this They shouldn&t try & be too obvious about it however lest they be immediately discovered Action Cards can be placed in front of any player including oneself Action Cards let the players help or hinder one another as well as obtain information about the Goal Cards Once a player places a Path Card that reaches the gold the round is over The miners have won & receive cards with gold pieces as their reward The round is also over if the gold could not be reached In that case the saboteurs have won & receive the gold pieces Once the Gold Cards have been distributed the next round begins The game is over at the end of the third round with the player with the most gold pieces being the winner
