There was a super nice dude at Galaxy's Edge who'd welcome passerbys to play Sabbac with him during the Super Bowl this year. He was such a delight and I instantly knew I needed a deck. My only question really is how you're supposed to end up with 8 cards when you can only draw one card at a time, start with two cards, and there's only 3 rounds?

I’m in favor of calling “rule of two” twin suns or a binary because it seems more in-universe.

On the subject of betting, the old version that came with the West End Games RPG adventure Crisis On Cloud City (and was show in the Rebels episode "Idiot's Array") said there were two pots you anted into: the hand pot, which you do the usual raising and what-have-you and win for winning the hand, and the sabacc pot, which you only get if you get a sabacc.

The video was amazing but that outro was on another level

Thanks for the video. One of the most interesting things is the vast number of versions of this game. Also, with my friends and I playing - we actually had at least one person every hand get sabacc (get zero). Also, the dice show a pair - a lot more often than people would think. thanks for the video.

Or.... Maybe the ancient sith Lords based named their philosophies after a very popular card game (sabacc is a very old game so it could be older, or maybe the sith looked into the future

thanks for the video my brother just got sabacc after going to disney 😀

I watched the first vid bc my son wondered if Sabacc was like Star Wars poker. I’m watching this one to understand all the Sabacc references in the books 🤓

Can someone make a pdf of all the rules this guy uses? I would love that, especially with all the winning decks and tie breakers

I love your outro!

Great video 👍🏻 keep up the good work

Once my 8th grade teacher left for like half the class, and my table took out completely random items from our bookbags to bet for and played black jack. I won a thing of deodorant that day

I probably will have to have many lessons to master this

I'm just going to state the obvious here, disregarding what the rules say: in the film when he lays down the 4 cards and says "straight staves", he's laying down one of each of the four face cards (the 7, 8, 9 and 10), two red and two green. And if you add them up, they actually DO equal zero. So he made a sabacc using one of each face card. This would suggest two things: 1) "Staves" are not equivalent to suits, but are actually the term for face cards. And 2) the second highest hand in sabacc may be scoring a 0 using all four face cards, or using four "staves". (Obviously a full sabacc and presumably a pure sabacc would beat this). Seems bizarre that they missed both of these things when writing the rules, right? Any thoughts?

Does squadron count if i had a red circle and a green circle? But all 1s?

Do you bet before or after making your move?

Can I buy a 76 card deck for less that £40 in the UK anywhere?

* murlock noises * 4:10

Why wouldn’t they include “Idiot’s Array” from Rebels?

So what if you have Prime Sabacc but with 2 Sylops? Is that like... Prime Sabacc +? I go lucky and scored this the other night and took 3 people out (they all went all in by round 3)

@TheJodo Cast, we love the Sabacc Star Wars chips you use! Can we purchase those somewhere?

On the completion of the third round, when the dealer rolled the dice for the last time and it’s pairs. When you get dealt your new hand, do you get a bonus round where you could draw again or do you just have to show the hand you are dealt?

If you have a hand rank do you get to call it before the 3 rounds and win or you have wait till the end?

Il be honest, half if not most of the names suck for these hands, would love a to see them change the names otherwise im gonna have to try and make up my own

Is this the normal game or Coreillian version?

What about "Idiot's Array"? (the one hand that beats sabacc)

I think your re edit should have the poison control number. IE. Tide pod eating!

Those were not a pair. A pair needs to be the sMe value so +2 +2 -4 would be a pair. +2 -2 is not.

"Because gambling is problematic and gross?" Way to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because some people are irresponsible with it doesn't mean gambling itself is automatically bad any more than video games are problematic and gross because some people go too far.

Problem your video uses heretical sources, true sabacc is very well described in the Expanded Universe specifically Heirs of the Force. The version you described is disney wars, and thus not cannon.
