Players take on the role of dwarves. As miners, they are in a mine, searching for gold. Suddenly, a pickaxe swings and smashes the mine's lamp. The saboteur has struck. But which players are saboteurs? Will you find the gold, or will the saboteurs' evil actions lead them to it first? After three rounds, the player with the most gold is the winner.

Using dwarf cards, players are assigned their role: miner or saboteur. Roles are kept secret - they are only revealed at the end of the round.

The starting card and the three goal cards are placed on the table, each seven cards from the start and one card between each goal card. The goal cards are placed face down. The gold is on one of the goal cards, but no one knows which one.

Players have cards in hand. On a player's turn, they must do one of three things: place a path card in the mine, play an action card in front of a player, or pass.

Path cards form paths leading to the goal cards. Path cards must be played next to an already played path card. All paths on the Path card must match those on already played cards, and Path cards cannot be played sideways.

Miners try to build an unbroken path from the starting card to a goal card, while saboteurs try to prevent this. However, they should not try to be too obvious about it, for fear of being immediately discovered.

Action cards can be placed in front of any player, including oneself. Action cards allow players to help or hinder each other, as well as gain information about the goal cards.

Once a player has placed a path card that reaches the gold, the round ends. The miners have won and receive cards with gold pieces as a reward.

The round also ends if the gold could not be reached. In this case, the saboteurs have won and receive the gold pieces.

Once the gold cards have been distributed, the next round begins. The game ends at the end of the third round, with the player having the most gold pieces being the winner.
