Ever wonder what's that game Han and Lando keep playing?  It's SABACC!  
Sabacc is a card game that appears to dominate the "casinos" and bar rooms 
of the Star Wars universe.  Here for your pleasure are the rules, cards, 
and facts of the game.  Hopefully someone out there will find this 
information helpful.  If anyone has or knows any more (correct) information, 
please contact me.  Thanks a lot and happy gaming!

SABACC!

SABACC- 78 Cards/ 4 Suits & 1 Set of Negatives
SUITS - Sabres(15), Staves(15), Coins(15), Flasks(15), Negatives(18*)
OBJECT- To attain a value (or come close to) either +23, -23, or the 
Idiot's Array (2, 3, THE IDIOT) by combining the amount(s) your cards 
stand for.
OUT AT- +24(or higher), -24(or lower), or 0
PLAY  - Two cards are dealt then more if desired by the individual. The 
First Card is face up, the second is face down, and any more cards are 
face up*.

NOTE: In the "actual" game, the game is played around a table with a stasis 
field.  The cards in the characters hand may change at any time during 
play, except when the player has put his cards down on the table and within 
the stasis field (when he is either out or has won.)
Also, 5's are wild*.

78 Cards... and I think the Idiot belongs in this "suit.")

-12* = Eternity*
 -9* = The Tribunal*

The last two cards I mentioned were ones I made up with made-up values.  
Use 'em if you want, or create your own. (I suggest you use 'em so everyone 
uses the same card.)  Hope you enjoy this list and I hope I'll have an 
updated one to post one of these days.  
Have fun!
