Melcindomien Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The most omnipresent game in Star Wars lore is totally missing from the Old Republic. I mean come on, hasn't it been invented or what. After the Force, sabacc is the second thing mentioned in every book of this universe. In my opinion every cantina in this game should have a sabacc table where players can win or lose fortunes or just have some fun. It's not so difficult to implement a card game is it? And the rules are not so complicated. Just take a game of blackjack, mix it with a pinch of poker, alter it a bit, throw in a bit of randomness and... Sabacc!!! For rules check here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sabacc Anyone up for a hand of sabacc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadysketchy Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've seen every movie from start to finish, and I don't remember this being in any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angryshooter Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 it would be fun to have a card game like sabacc or pazaak (Kotor) but i wouldnt say no to a table of dejarik, the game chewbacca played against r2-d2 in episode 4. it would fun to play i think, it looked like a weird chess setup.

thefinalsolution Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've seen every movie from start to finish, and I don't remember this being in any of them i shouldnt be laughing so hard at this...well played sir, well played! honestly thought, the OP is right, sabacc is so prominent in the SW:EU its not even funny. itd be a great mini-game to add for extra things to do later on when people start getting bored, and i doubt itd be TOO hard to do. rewards can be anything really, i mean, han solo once one the deed to Dathomir in a game of sabacc >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race_Arcturus Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I can't remember where, but I definitely saw a Sabacc table somewhere in game. I tried interacting with it, but got the message "This table isn't accepting new players right now." So, it looks like it's either there already, or well on it's way.

SkilledSeeker Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Mini games will be added in future I bet, there needs to be more social activites to do in cantinas and such. I'm looking forward to swoop racing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidacid Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) what about Dejarik? it was a Jedi game originally, was actually featured in ANH, and judging by how often the line "let the wookie win" is said I'd say it is rather iconic so would be recognized even by people who aren't SW nerds I'm not terrible big on card games or gambling tho... I prefer to stick with the more honorable addictions like booze and snatch... and as my corps drill instructor told me " the only thing worth gambling with is your life" Edited February 5, 2012 by Liquidacid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyersfan Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's on the Esseles. I saw this last night. It said that the table wasn't currently accepting new players. Also, it was the first time I've ever heard of Sabacc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcindomien Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 For those who never heard of sabacc. Read some SW books. Also you should know that Han Solo won Millenium Falcon in a game of sabacc. The loser was Lando Calrissian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngamok Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I've seen every movie from start to finish, and I don't remember this being in any of them It was only mentioned, not played. It's how Han won the Falcon from Lando. ^Woops, got beat. Edited February 18, 2012 by Ngamok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riftstar Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sabaac would be an excellent addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darhsteel Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Sabacc was in many SW books. It would be a wonderful add to the game. It would give more purpose and fun to cantinas, besides watching other players dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dria Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Lets see - my companions.. Khem Val would just argue with ( you know who ) about the cards..Andronikos Revel would just cheat ..Ashara Zavros would play but lecture how it's not correct to cheat..Talos Drellik would lose all hands because he lacks poker face..Xalek would keep asking how is this part of his apprentice time... And how would Dria work / play with others... losing = Force Lightning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
