Star Wars Galaxy's Edge - Sabacc Review

[@sidequest6325]

I have the Hasbro one and enjoy it, but the Sabbacc from the park feels more authentic.

[@reakirk7624]

Both versions got it wrong though, the goal of Sabacc isn't to get to 0, it's to be at 23 or -23, being at zero is actually a Bomb Out

[@Ziko577]

Oh yeah that's right. How do you mess up the rules this badly? This Wookiepedia link explains how it should be played: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sabacc

[@st.pat_separatistrebel]

They are the Corallian Spike variations of the game which according to legends and the Solo move is the game that Lando and Han actually played

[@TheAbsoluteCool]

Can you just use the park cards with the hashbro tokens or they two variant game rules?

[@GOODFRIENDDENIM]

How much are the ones at the park

[@5f768]

The GE version could definitely use some sort of set of credits to bet with!

[@reflexvapor6290]

if you have poker chips you can use that that is what i do

[@cheezewiz227]

Yeah I gotGE version and for almost 20dollars it should definitely have at least some credits

[@maxbrown9918]

5:05 that's actually negative 1

[@caseymd2536]

I really liked this comparison but I still prefer the park version! Thanks for sealing my vote!! Love the vids

[@eddie1franco619]

I want one now. I'd get the one from galaxy's edge.

[@ericagibson7128]

Can you do a video where you teach us how to play Sabacc? I have SWGE Sabacc and the instructions are a little unclear 😂

[@bmmcwhirt]

If you have a look at the reply I just made to this video there are a lot of details about the game and a link to a video tutorial (not by me). If you are only interested in the tutorial here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6rQZ5R9rq1no7M If you happen to with a YT-1300f in a game, don't forget me, I'd love to get off this planet for a spell.

[@LyciaD3]

You can't play Sabacc with galmaxy's edge deck saddly... you need a 76 cards deck for this.

[@cocayoo]

LyciaD3 This is a variation called correlian spike. I have this and it is possible to play. I would recommend it.

[@LyciaD3]

@@cocayoo Nope, for me, this is a variation called Bantha Poodoo. i won't talk more about disney's undooing, we can't agree on this matter.

[@cocayoo]

LyciaD3 Variations like this existed in legends. The closest one probably being corellian gambit.

[@blackberry1943]

I would prefer the one sold at the theme park. Because, how Iit looks and where the cards are held.

[@Xhonak]

Got the hasbro version in the mail today, so this video was perfectly timed.

[@everit6682]

This is one of my priorites in galaxys edge

[@GrillPiece63]

I'm trying to get the GE version too. I have the Hasbro ones and they're ok but I hear the GE ones better.

@@isaackim7675 hey idk if you’ll ever see this, but there’s several decks of this on Etsy that you can get. They’re actually higher quality than the GE ones.

[@skyloren2187]

I realy like Sabbacc and loved the ,,scene" in the Darth Bane Book where it was explained perfectly It's like Poker and Black Jack in Star wars universe

[@kevinsalazar3487]

I was looking to see if anyone else made that connection to darth bane

[@brickfirst2604]

I bought one from Galaxy's Edge last week. $18 in Orlando.

[@MasterboxProduction]

When you open the box and manipulate the objects it's almost an ASMR video :)

[@tirtuatha8088]

I have the Hasbro version. The "chips" are alright, but Hasbro wasted A LOT in packaging. They could have easily made it a quarter of the size. I plan on getting the GE version.

[@bettygreene753]

I'm going to do Savis workshop when it opens at WDW so thanks so much for the vids of the sets!👍👍👍👍👍 keep up the good work!

[@GrillPiece63]

I play the game myself with a few friends. Some of us use poker chips and replica sabacc credits to play.

[@anthonysharp9136]

This was sold out a week ago when I went. Thanks for the comparison. Now if only they'd start selling the version shown in Rebels...

[@bladez8589]

I like the hasbro ones because they come with those sick credits but the galaxys edge ones look better

[@Bign-hv8nn]

I need the theme park version!!

[@seldomfollows]

The dice in the Hasbro version are engraved, so the symbols are recessed into each face. The dice in the park version are just printed onto the surface of each face, and will wear off over time.

[@walkinharmonyhomestead2888]

Eric Follows, hmmm, interesting. Kind of a bummer. Are the dice plastic? Wondering if I could use a tiny dremel to indent, then repaint...?

[@jp7879]

I like the idea of the over head camera

[@mselsbethreads8927]

I love the sabacc sold at Disney but am going with Hasbro for my kids. Thanks for the video!

[@punkyharder8892]

I’ve played with five players with the hasbro one and it works just fine

[@joshuadumatrait3021]

I don’t have anyone to play sabacc with either.... I will play with you SirJames!

[@danewood1115]

I like them both, but the Hasbro one feels more like it’s meant for kids and a newer audience. It’s more like something that a new fan would buy and try out while the Sabacc cards from Galaxys Edge look and feel like something an adult would buy after being a fan for years. The galaxys edge ones look and feel like something that belongs with a long time fan, and that’s why I prefer the Galaxys Edge ones.

[@robinsonfernandezjr.8321]

I have the theme park version. And I have a version from Etsy. I prefer my Etsy version. They are thicker, textured and the dice are metal. But the theme park version feels/looks more authentic than the hasbro version. I just wish they sold credits to gamble with.

[@CollectionTHX1138]

It's good to see them together. I wondered about the card size. I thought the Hasbro cards were the larger of the two. Seeing them side-by-side that isn't the case. They should have faux distressed inside the outer edge a bit in addition to the card itself. It was so rare you had to win it in a game of Sabbac lol It was funny when Lando said Han's name like some people do (like myself) instead of like Leia did. I Solo a lot of games. Pun intended lol MTFBWY

[@isaackim7675]

You should buy a couple of Imperial credits from Galaxy’s Edge when you’re playing it o make it look authentic

[@samfoster7880]

I wish that more of the stuff from galaxies edge had aurabesh on so nerds like me could read it

[@johnorr8812]

For ease of play- Hasbro.... For Authenticity- Park Version. --- But I love the "Credit" cards- understandably Disney shied away from the "Gambling" angle.

[@JPF_Props]

This and the Dejarik set were sold out when I went last time! If you go back soon and can get me a sabacc set would be much appreciated! We aren’t going back until January when ROTR opens...

[@ArnoldValentino]

I wasn’t interested with the Sabbac cards but the theme park one looks great.

[@5trider29]

For authenticity, the GE version is better, and I read its USD16, but coming from Singapore, it's gonna cost me about USD40 (including s/h). Looking at eBay, it's higher. I'm a huge SW fan, and its not gonna stop me from getting these cards. Definitely wanna try and play sabacc with friends. Is there a strip sabacc version?

[@majorpsych]

I was at Galaxy’s Edge last week and didn’t see this 😓 I would love a copy to go along with the Sabre I built at Savi’s!

[@TomP881]

The card stock that Hasbro used in their version was so flimsy I immediately sleeved them. I also felt the dice in the Hasbro version were crap. These newer cards and newer dice look like they're much better than Hasbro's version in the review. I'd like to get two of these decks (one to open, one to keep sealed) at some point. Unfortunately I'm not wealthy enough to afford a trip to a Disney park and I'm not going to patronize scalpers on Fleabay to get them. It's too bad you can't get them online through the Disney store website. That would certainly make getting them a lot easier.

[@xanderpotter3000]

Looks super cool might get it at the park

[@VampiricHoshi]

Ah this is what I've been waiting for, awesome James, thanks. I have go say, the Toydarian version's rules makes little sense at 2.a. under gameplay; a. Gain - take the top card from the Draw Pile. You may keep the card or you may discard. If you pick the option of discarding, you must discard before you draw. If you can keep or discard the card you draw, how can you discard it before you draw it? Most of the Toydarian rules I prefer to Hasbro's, as the Hasbro version is just a little too simple (though that makes it a great entry for new players and kids), but I'll definitely be ignoring that bit. The Toydarian version also has far too many winning hands, there's no way most people will be able to remember all of those, so I think I'll be slimming it a little, kind of a combination of the two.

[@lanceturley7745]

It's a little oddly worded, but I think it just means you can't see the card until you decide if you're going to take it or discard it. It's kind of like choosing to hit in blackjack.

[@VampiricHoshi]

Forgive the essay of a response; What you say could well be correct, and I was thinking along those lines as well, but given that it could be interpreted in multiple ways makes it contentious enough to be largely ignored imo otherwise players will be arguing over it. Hasbro's rules basically allow you to draw and discard at the same time from what I can remember, in fact the rules over discarding were quite lose, which plays well (perhaps a little too well) otherwise it places too much jeopardy on drawing a card as it becomes difficult to get rid of a bad card. This creates a very common scenario where players are junking in the first round if their initial 2 cards aren't a winning hand, or at least close to being a winning hand, as the second they draw it becomes increasingly more difficult to win, which can become quite frustrating. Texas Holdem has kind of the same feel where you're effectively forced to have the 5 cards dealt, plus the 2 in your hand, and it tends to have the same results where many players automatically fold before even the first round of betting. I get some people that like that, given how popular Texas Holdem is, but I prefer a version of Sabacc that allows for recovery as that encourages people to stay in the game longer. I guess what I am saying is that the Disney set has the better cards, while Hasbro has better rules (if it a little too simple).

[@lordstrong2019]

One question do the two card games play the same way?

[@AET_Gaming]

Yes i am pretty sure

[@KeeganMcKinney]

Yes, the only difference is card quality and currency vs. no currency.

[@KeeganMcKinney]

Yes the only differences are card quality and currency vs no currency.

[@thebeybladearmory]

Hasbro's set fits kids hands, also the numbers are for kids to easily recognize because they also have to do the math in their head. Adults tend to do math faster and recognize the face value quicker.

[@TeamSickProductions]

I’d combine the two - use the cards and dice from Galaxy’s Edge (the Star Wars branding on the other cards is lame), with the credits from Hasbro to up the ante and keep it interesting...unless you guys want to play for lego sets or something?

[@TomP881]

I was thinking the same thing. Or, you could use poker chips.

[@hoaxer5135]

The theme park sabacc is nice, looks cool and all, however when it comes to actually playing the game the hasbro might be better. I don't have the hasbro, but from experience using the theme park one the stiffness doesn't make it much better. It easily bends when shuffling, and getting those bends out is hard. The cards like the arch after being shuffled, and you have to completely turn the deck upside down and shuffle to get the arch out. The theme park sabacc isn't made like poker cards, which I personally think sucks because that would make actually playing with it so much easier.

[@amirmoradi9595]

Anyone know where you could find protective card sleeves in that weird shape?

[@artistpoet5253]

I like the park one more though I didn't notice any rules for betting ;). As for finding people to play with, check out the local comics store or if you're lucky, games/hobby center or even bars. if it's a matter of not wanting your cards mussed up by strangers, have a 'shared' deck and a 'collectable' deck. but if' you truly live in a burg or have zero time to travel for games, there are volumes of 'solo' gaming rules out there. Since Sabacc plays a lot like black jack, just look those up.

Hasbro ftw imo! The dice are better; the symbols are etched and not just painted. There are credits. And even though the park's cards are more authentic, there are 10 extra cards with Hasbro--more bang for your buck. Jussayin.

How did you get those? I went two days after the video was posted. I went to Disneyland Wednesday and Thursday and they didn’t have the cards or the Dejarik table. I asked a cast member and they looked confused as to how to answer. It was interesting bc I noticed the cast member was talking to a manger and pointing at me. Thanks for the great videos!
