Galactic Sabacc (2002)

Overview

Sabacc is a gambling card game based on a game referenced within the Star Wars universe.

Note that this game is different than the card game available at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - the new area of Disneyland. That game can be found here.

The game is played with a unique 76-card deck, comprised of four suits of 15 cards (Coins, Flasks, Sabres, and Staves) as well as a number of unsuited face cards. Gameplay loosely resembles poker, while hand scoring resembles blackjack. Players are dealt an initial hand, then can draw more cards to their hand, while wagering over the value of hands. Wagers are paid into two pots, a Hand Pot and a Sabacc Pot. Once the hand has been called, players reveal their hand to win the Hand Pot: the winner is the player with the highest hand value that doesn't exceed 23. A player with a hand that totals exactly 23 or -23 has Pure Sabacc and wins the Sabacc Pot. Since unwon pots roll over into the next hand's Sabacc Pot, the Sabacc Pot can grow to be quite large.
