flight before fight
So podracing fun has long been unlocked on the board with Jorus' Podracing - Hoth Rules, but another piece of iconic Star Wars lore still remains underutilized on the board.
Inspired by Jorus' podracing Hoth Rules and with the help of
Zark San Tekka
, I present...
Sabacc - Coronet Split ruleset.
Setup:
Each player places their initial bet.
Players roll a d20 to determine their initial hand of cards.
Three Rounds per Game.
Objective of the game is to accumulate 40 points. Anything over 40 is a BUST: If a player's hand total exceeds 40 at any point during the game, they automatically lose the game, regardless of other players' hands.
The player with the highest hand total in the end, without exceeding 40, wins the game and takes the pot.
Gameplay:
Special Rule:
Roll of 7: If a player rolls a 7, they accumulate the 7 points as usual. Additionally, they have the option to reduce another player's total result by 3 points.
Pure Sabacc vs. Idiot's Array:
In the event where players have equal total scores, they each roll a d20. The player with the higher roll has an Idiot's Array and wins, the other loses with a Pure Sabacc (ouch).
