Sabacc

Sabacc is a primarily fictional gambling card game, with similarities to blackjack and poker (adding and subtracting numbered cards), originating from the Star Wars space opera franchise, where it is a common pastime of such characters as Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. The game is best known as the high-stake game played by Solo that won him his starship, the Millennium Falcon, from Lando. It has been described as "the most popular card game in the Star Wars galaxy."^[1]

It debuted in the 1983 novel Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu by L. Neil Smith, and has also been portrayed in a number of other works of the franchise, such as Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), the first film to actually depict a sabacc game being played. The first sabacc ruleset was published in 1989; however, several other rule-sets have been published since 2015. While the game is commonly described as a card game, some variants are known to use dice.
