Where To Play Sabacc
Sabacc tables can be found throughout the game, usually inmajor cities.
If a player loses their last chip, they are out and cannot continue playing.
Play continues until only one player has any chips left.
Each player starts with the same number of chips, regardless of the table’s buy-in.
Chips don’t represent a value in credits, and are merely used to keep score during the game.
The number of starting chips varies by table, with six being the standard.
These keywords are the most useful to pick up in Star Wars Unlimited.
Every player that did not win the roundloses all the chips currently in their pot.
The numbers printed on the cards use the Aurebesh, the writing system of the Star Wars galaxy.
That means that having a Sylop in your handguarantees a Sabacc.
A hand of two Sylops is rare, but unbeatable.
If nothing else, an Impostor can keep you in the game for one more round.
Shifts And Cheats
Each player is allowed to bring threeShiftsto the table.
Shifts typicallyalter card values, recover lost chips,orforce other players to pay chips.
Worse, you won’t be able to return to that Sabacc table until some time has passed.
Cheats are best used against advanced opponents - they’re probably fixing the deck anyway, the scoundrels.
