Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

@FrankCavil coincidentally, we got busy with #saboteur, too. My trick as a host is stressing the rule that assigns fewer points if you are sitting far away from the player concluding the round (clockwise). This allows innocent miners to also pose as saboteurs, just to ensure the player to their left doesn't play the last card.

It's one of the rules making the game so unique in its genre, but people usually never learn it.
