Mastering Kessel Sabacc: Tips and Strategies for Winning in Star Wars Outlaws

So, you’re looking to get your hands on some extra credits in Star Wars Outlaws, and you’re thinking of playing some Sabacc. Well, you’re in luck! Sabacc is an iconic card game that’s been featured throughout the Star Wars franchise, and in Outlaws, it’s known as Kessel Sabacc. The goal is simple: be the last player with chips left in the game. But don’t worry, it’s not as easy as it sounds. You’ll need to use a combination of luck, strategy, and a little bit of cheating to come out on top.

First things first, you’ll need to choose your Shift Tokens. These are essentially legal cheats that all players bring to the table. You can win them from Sabacc, purchase them, or find them during exploration. You can also offer them as rewards for completing quests.

Now, let’s talk about the game itself. Each player starts with two cards, one from each deck, and a certain number of chips. Your goal is to create a two-card hand with the lowest value possible. This is done by subtracting the value of one card from the other. If you have a 6 and a 2, your hand value is 4. And if you have two matching cards, that’s called a Sabacc, and it’s worth zero.

But here’s the thing: there are special cards in the deck that can change the game. There are Imposters, which can help you form a Sabacc, and Sylops, which are essentially Jokers that can act as any card. And if you’re really lucky, you might even get a Pure Sabacc, which is the best hand in the game.

Now, let’s talk about how to make an hand in Kessel Sabacc. At the start of each round, you’ll be dealt two cards, and you’ll have three turns to spend tokens to draw cards from the deck. You can draw from the central stacks, which are face-down piles of cards, or you can draw from the discard piles. And if you like your cards, you can stand and pass on your turn.

But here’s the thing: other players can also use Shift Tokens to change the game. They can change the rules so that high cards are better than low cards, or they can refund chips to players who passed on their turn. And if you’re not careful, you might even get caught cheating!

So, how do you Shift things in your favor? Well, you can play Shift Tokens to change the game, or you can use your Imposters and Sylops to create a strong hand. And if you’re really lucky, you might even get a Pure Sabacc. But don’t get too cocky, because other players can also use Shift Tokens to change the game. And if you’re not careful, you might even get caught cheating!

In the end, Sabacc is all about strategy and a little bit of luck. You’ll need to pay attention to the other players’ actions and use your Shift Tokens wisely. And if you’re really good, you might even be able to pull off a Pure Sabacc. So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to play some Sabacc and see if you can come out on top!
