Sabacc



Yarith Bespin Casino's Corellian Spike

At the Yarith Bespin Casino, a challenging wrinkle is added to the game: In addition to each player's hand cards, they also have a spike card. The spike card sits face-up on the table in front of each player and must be used as part of their hand.

Gameplay

Winning Hands

In a tie, a positive total beats a negative one. After that, the hand with the highest positive card total wins, then the hand with the single highest positive card. However, with the hands yee-haa and sabacc with one pair, the hand with its pair closest to zero wins.

Idiot's Array

A sylop, a two, and a three.

0, +2, +3 or 0, -2, -3 or 0 +2, -3 or 0, -2, +3

Prime Sabacc

Zero with a positive ten, a negative ten, and a sylop.

+10, -10, 0

Yee-haa

Zero with one pair and a sylop.

Examples: +2, -2, 0 or +7, -7, 0

Sabacc with One Pair

Zero with one pair.

Examples: +1, +1, -2 or +6, -3, -3

Sabacc with Highest Value Cards

Zero with the highest positive card total.

Example: +4, +6, -10 beats +4, +5, -9 because 10 (sum of +4 and +6) is higher than 9 (sum of +4 and +5)

Sabacc with Highest Value Single Card

Zero with the highest single positive card.

Example: +1, +8, -9 beats +4, +5, -9 because 8 is higher than 5

Nulrhek

Closest to zero.

Example: +1, +3, -5 beats +3, +5, -10

Nulrhek with Positive Score

Closest to zero with a positive score.

Example: +1, +3, -3, beats +1, +2, -4

Nulrhek with Highest Value Cards

Closest to zero with the highest positive card total.

Example: +4, +8, -6 beats +3, +4, -1 because 12 (sum of +4 and +8) is higher than 7 (sum of +3 and +4)

Nulrhek with Highest Value Single Card

Closest to zero with the highest single positive card.

Example: +2, +10, -6 beats +4, +8, -6 because 10 is higher than 8

Single Blind Draw

If players are still tied, they must draw one card from the draw pile. The player whose card is closest to zero wins. If tied, the positive number wins. If still tied, draw again until a winner is determined.

Examples: -1 beats +4 and +1 beats -1

Winning Hand Variations

At some tables in the Yarith Bespin, you'll find a slightly different set of winning hands. These tables drop the idiot's array, prime sabacc, or both. Another variation: when it comes to yee-haa and sabacc with one pair ties, the hand with the highest pair wins, rather than the pair closest to zero.
