Star Wars Outlaws let’s you gamble, but not in a card game you’ve played. If you need help wrapping your head around kessel sabacc, we’ll get you up to speed.
Kay Vess will do just about anything to earn credits in Star Wars Outlaws. She’s mixed up with a lot of dangerous people and cash is always tight. While there are plenty of missions you can do for the various Syndicates, as well as loot and treasures to find, plus locks to pick for some cash, those all come with a lot of risks. If you want to earn some credits the honorable way, Kessel Sabacc is this universe’s preferred way to gamble. You’ll be introduced to the game early on and instantly hit with a wall of tutorials and rules to somehow master in just a single game. While it shares elements with some card games you may know, it is entirely its own beast. Let’s break down the rules so you know how to play the winning hand every time.How to play Kessel Sabacc
Kessel Sabacc is played in three-turn rounds and goes as many rounds as it takes for only one player to be left with chips. You start with six chips and are dealt two cards with the option to draw and discard one card each turn for the cost of one chip. You can hold to pass your turn and keep that chip as well. At the end of three turns, everyone’s hand is shown.
Cards are numbered 1-6, plus a couple of wild cards we’ll talk about in a second, and are either tan or red. You want your tan and red card numbers to be as close as possible — ideally the same number — but as low a number as possible.
