Saboteur: Map Swap

Description

--- **Saboteur: Map Swap** is a single-card promo expansion for Saboteur from the 2017 World Championship, enabling blind swaps of face-down goal cards. Key mechanics include: - *Card replacement* Replaces one "Map Card" in the basic game setup. - *Action card play* Played from hand like other action cards to initiate a swap. - *Blind selection* Player chooses two different face-down goal cards without looking. - *Shuffling choice* Player shuffles the two cards face-down, deciding whether to actually swap them. - *Repositioning* Cards are placed back, swapped or unswapped, at player's discretion. Saboteur: Map Swap is a promotional single-card expansion distributed at the 2017 Saboteur World Championship, designed for integration into the base Saboteur game by replacing one copy of the "Map Card" type. Functioning as a standard action card, it allows a player to target and manipulate goal cards strategically. The precise procedure involves the player first selecting two distinct face-down goal cards without viewing their contents, then shuffling them face-down—affording the subtle option to either genuinely exchange their positions or maintain the original order—and finally repositioning them as chosen. This introduces an element of deception and uncertainty, as the swap's authenticity remains concealed from all participants, enhancing the game's tension around goal card orientations and player intentions. ---
