Card Game

[Fyor Nayus]

So has anyone thought of a way of actually doing a card game between folks here?

Perhaps we could have a random card generator or number generator, like this:
https://www.random.org/playing-cards/ (Set the deck to draw 52)

Of course people would know what was coming, unless we had a 'dealer' involved to oversee who kept it private, they drew that to start with, saved the order and then we played each hand, could even print screen save as an image if people needed any proof on each shuffle. If its a bigger game with any interest, everyone would have 3 days to post their next move, or fold that hand?

Roleplayed out for lots of fake monies! @Sio tm

Like actually playing sabbac instead of assuming that we win or lose? That'd be cool.

If you find a way, you will be my hero.

[member="Dart the Amaran"] - Then I shall have a look see what I can do, I was posting in the hopes someone knew something I didn't too

[member="Glaze Starchaser"] - Yes , if we wanted sabacc we'd need a sabacc generator or a clever way of doing it. I was thinking poker, which exists in legacy.

For sabacc you'd need to substitute cards (unless someone knows a generator). So you could use the regular generator above, set it to draw 52, as its 4 suits which matches sabacc, the numbers on the cards only go up to 10 obviously, then the face cards could be the special cards, called beforehand.

Sabacc game:

52 Cards drawn - first 2 are given in turn to each player, rest are kept for exchanges in the draw phase
Clubs/Spades - Minus Score From 1(Ace) to 13(King)
Hearts/Diamonds - Plus Score From 1 to 13

Rules are simple

Everyone starts with 10,000 credits. - Dealer Generates the Card order, gives players their initial cards via pm in order on the screen.

Bets
Ask to trade cards
Check for Calls (If you wanted this in)
Dealer Draws New Cards
First to call or win ends the game.

Posts go like this to keep it moving
All in One Player Post: Posters Bet - Call if you like - Ask to trade any cards (face up?)
All in One Dealer Post: Checks for anyone calling - Gives out new cards, 1 a turn + any traded (face up?)
Repeat 1/2
First to call or win ends the hand.

Overall winner is the last to run out of chips.
Dealer keeps a copy of the card order in a screen shot so it can be posted at the end.

Winning hands:
The hand ends when a player (after the pot-building phase) declares they would like to Call the hand. One last round of betting occurs, starting with the Calling player, and then players reveal their cards. Winning hands in Sabacc are hands that total 23 or -23, which are called Pure Sabacc, or a hand made up of an Idiot (value 0) a 2 of any suit and a 3 of any suit (this is a literal 023) called an Idiot’s Array. An Idiot’s Array beats a Pure Sabacc. If no one has any of these winning hands, the player with the highest hand total below 23 wins. Any player with a hand totaling more than 23, less than -23, or exactly 0 at the time the hand is called has Bombed Out. The penalty for Bombing Out is to pay an amount equal to the contents of the Main Pot into the Sabacc Pot. The winning player takes the contents of the Main Pot. If that player won with a Pure Sabacc or an Idiot’s Array, the Sabacc Pot is also collected.

Advice: Each time the dealer gives you a PM, make sure they list which hand it is in their posts, perhaps include what they've pm'd before so there is no confusion as to your cards.

Edited that a touch to make more sense.

Roll20 has a fairly good card system, if I remember correctly. Just thought I'd mention it. If you're up for it, I'd be down to run a test of it with you. I think it'd be pretty cool to have a card game actually be real in a thread.

OKAY! YES! I would be SO into this. Sabaac is this characters shtick.
