This box has the original Saboteur as well as Saboteur 2. Overall, I would recommend to go with the original only. I still gave 5 stars because the price difference was negligible.
* Saboteur * (5/5 stars)
We played Saboteur many times in the winter break and my kids (7 years and 8 years old) love it. It is now the new favorite. It's complexity is comparable to Uno (though they are very different in many ways) and has a fairly quick playtime. I recommend to play this with little to no talk and let the actions talk to themselves. Otherwise the saboteur has an very difficult role. We played it only with 4 players (that means only 1 saboteur). With more than 5 players, you may have more saboteurs that may make this game even more exciting.
* Saboteur 2 * (3/5 stars)
Tried it only once but it is quite chaotic and less cooperative. Since you usually go thru most of the deck, it is almost certain that the chaos elements (changing role, swapping hands) will show up. Though the box says it fits 2-12 players, I would recommend this version only for many players otherwise it will just be an unpredictable mess for most players. I'm not a fan of this version but there are elements that I like better than in the original (e.g. dropping up to 3 cards at a time, fixing broken tool by dropping an additional card and playing the rest of game with a smaller hand)
