You kinda have to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate this:

LOL, cool.

Still learning the rules, but it's a fun waste of time.

I wish I still had my Star Wars fact file laying around. That had the rules in it somewhere.

Shit I got pure Sabacc and I dont know HOW I did it haermm

Google the rules. More than likely they're on the interbutts somewhere. I guarantee it.

The Game
Sabacc is a game of skill and chance played in the Star Wars universe. It is the game in which Han Solo reputedly won the Millenium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. For a game invented in a fictional, futuristic setting, and for being far from the focus of the movies or any of the literature related to it, Sabacc is actually a quite interesting and well-balanced framework for games. There are so many variants on rules, and due to the vagueness with which authors have described it, so many interpretations of those variants, that the possibilities are nearly endless.

Sabacc uses a deck of 76 cards; 60 numbered (or ranked) cards divided into four suits, and 2 each of 8 special cards. The deck used in this particular variant is the 'original' Sabacc deck; other variants use modified special cards. The reason this is possible is that the cards are actually changeable; they have internal processors that change the card image displayed on them when a hand is dealt, or each round when some cards shift. Each round, a player may decide to place some cards in an interference field (depending on the rules), where they are unaffected by shifting. The player may also bet into the Sabacc pot during each round. The object is to score a hand of four cards worth a total of 23 or -23, called a Pure Sabacc. Lesser hands include 46, called Sabacc, and various arrays dependent on the rules.

On a player's turn during any round, the player may call the hand. All players show their current hand and the player with the highest score (between -23 and 23) wins the hand pot that has culminated during the hand. Pure Sabacc beats any other hand, followed by Sabacc. If the rules include other special hands (such as arrays) they are ranked as well. Any Sabacc, plus certain arrays, win the player the Sabacc pot as well (which builds over the game until won).

In this particular game, you are playing against the dealer one on one. In this casino-style Sabacc variant the dealer shows one card. Click "New Hand" to start a new hand. You may place a bet, which will be added to the hand pot during the following round (if you place a bet and call the hand in the same turn, that bet will not be in the hand pot and thus will be ignored). After you have finished betting and arranging your cards in or out of the interference field, click "Next Round" to give the dealer his turn and allow for shifting. The Sabacc pot increases by a credit each round. If you think you can win the hand, click "Call Hand". You or the dealer may call the hand on the fourth round or any subsequent round. If the player who calls the hand does not win, he or she not only loses the amount bet, but must also pay an equal amount into the Sabacc pot. A bust (above 23 or below -23) or a hand value of zero also results in the bet amount being paid to the Sabacc pot.

House Rules
You may place at most two cards in the interference field (where they are unaffected by shifting).
An Idiot's Array (The Idiot, any 2, any 3) beats any other hand, and wins the Sabacc pot.
Bet amount is paid into the Sabacc pot on bust, zero or loss on call.
You may not call the hand until on or after the fourth round.

NO REALLY? crylaugh Um, okay... I don't find most female Star Wars fans attractive, there are exceptions, but the fact that they love it is a turn off to me. I wouldn't want to play strip anything involving a Star Wars game.

that's kind of stereotyping a lot of people.

Star Wars fans, sure. There's nothing wrong with those people. Star Wars fanboys (girls) are probably what you're talking about.

If you're going to insult a large group of people, at least get the details right.

If you're going to insult a large group of people, at least get the details right. No, sorry. Most SW fanboys(girls) piss me off to be honest. There's nothing wrong with them, never said there was, and I did state there are exceptions, so don't know what you're getting at.

Silly me indeed, what WAS I thinking? It's okay, we all make mistakes and assume way more than we think in hopes of being right.

No wonder you've never been banned. I've never been banned because I am not an out of control car on the highway. I know what is allowed and what is not allowed, simple as that.
