It isn't hard to understand and teaching it is a sinch. However, I feel like there are too many map cards for less than 6 players.
Everything we play the game starts with like 4 map cards thrown down, which is frustrating if you are a saboteur. Anyways, good game, lots of fun and we consider it one of our favorites. We play a lot of board games and card games some of our current favourites are: This is a fun little game that is easy for young children and fun for adults. The map is pretty cute with little funny things on many of the cards that make it up. The artistry is nice.
Since the map is built as you go and roles are random, the replay value is very much there and it doesn't get old, assuming no one has a "tell", but rotating players out can fix that anyway. A good, quick family game that lets adults play something akin to the more complex, hardcore games e.

Coup and The Resistance with their children. It also scales well in fact, the more the better and is quick to teach people, so is a good "party" game for those who have someone coming over for the holidays or some such.
Our youngest just turned 7 and she probably could have played it when she was 5 without any real problems -- she certainly has none now. About eight of my friends at work play this game every day at lunch. We have about a dozen games to select from, but this has been our favorite. The expansion brings the challenge up several notches.
While the original game is fun in unto itself, the expansion is a must. It is a more fun because it is not just dwarfs vs saboteurs, now most dwarfs have competing goals. There are blue dwarfs, green dwarfs, crystal hunters, bosses, profiteers, and saboteurs. It is now no longer obvious if a player is a saboteur or not, and even if they are, they might not be your biggest threat!
It takes us about an hour to get through rounds.
The rules are a little confusing, but after a few rounds, you'll get a better understanding and will create house rules to tailor to your group. I would recommend playing the original game a few times first, to get used to the mechanics of the game.
If you enjoy the stand alone game, you must get the expansion. I bought this to bring camping, since it had a high player count and we would be tent camping with our family - all adults. We ended up breaking it out early during a family dinner, for a time filler. The mechanics are easy once you understand them. I taped two pieces of paper and made a "game board" -- a template to show how many cards over the path needs to go to reach the middle treasure.
It made things so much better and at the end I just fold it into the box. Also, we don't let people "teach" the game. Once a card oes down its down. No changing because you think someone isn't a saboteur and they just made a bad move. It's one of the only games my father in law didn't flip the table and walk away from.
The game was loud for us - lots of accusations and pleas for help and thinking out loud - but ultimately fun in its simplicity. We still haven't gone on our camping trip so I'm glad I have time to buy and bring the expansion! The third book, "Cuba's Most Wanted" completes the series. PDF, ePub, and Kindle. An eighteen year old son, Christolph Hoffmann, was instantly drafted by Germany's Wehrmacht.
Christolph, a US citizen and fluent in English, was tagged for saboteur training. After weeks of intensive training, his team was inserted by German submarine onto US soil at Jekyll Island, an isolated beach in south east coastal Georgia. This was the beginning of an extraordinary life for Chris Hoffman. From being a Prisoner of War in numerous work camps in North Carolina during the war to becoming a Lutheran Minister after the war in the Appalachian Mountains, Christolph's life unfolds from one profound experience to another. Christolph met Olivia O'Malley at the church where he was working as a janitor.
They were married and in , he and Olivia accepted the mission of ministering to the needs of the isolated and underprivileged mountain folks populating the hills along the Blue Ridge Parkway. In , Dan Turner, a free-lance TV journalist, was given a tip where he might find his next story which could develop into a documentary segment for television. The tip, from a long time friend, identified the elderly minister who aspired to be ordained before he dies. Much to Dan's surprise, he uncovers the tales of Christolph Hoffman and four other trained German Saboteurs.
