Do you have an editable version of that? Or is that the rules from the Hasbro game? I'd like to make additions and corrections to get it as close to the rules of Sabacc from the EU as possible because I think the Hasbro version is way too dumbed down and doesn't allow from the Idiot's Array and the Straight Staves hand
.
@TB-7027 I made a more print friendly version https://docs.google.com/document/d/11GIc2XA-bB8dimTjBX_vN2oeZ8ZXFCZv8ihIj9K2Bgk/edit?usp=sharing
I also have been working on my own version of more EU accurate rules. However, The ordering of the panels is wrong on the 2nd page and I'm currently at work so I can't fix it right now.

I might move the game credits to make room for a bigger Winning Hands section
Here's an update on the rules!

The rules you made are almost great, but the rules have a lot of classic Sabacc in it, for example, in the book you put 23 or -23 as the winning hand, but in this version a winning hand is 0.

I'm a big fan of the rules posted on the open doc, I'll give them a test run. But if we can all agree on them, we can make an official printable instruction sheet for everyone to have.
EDIT:
After giving the rules posted by TB-7027 a test run, I'm fully on board with making those rules final.
So after playing the game myself I had a few questions/ideas for the game.
I don't think we have agreed on how the Sabacc Pot is won, and I think it's probably a little late to bring up, but I don't think there is even a Sabacc pot in Corellian Spike at all, in the movie there is only ever one pot on the table, not 2. Maybe we should consider taking that out unless we can find an official source saying that there is indeed a Sabacc Pot. Anyhow, if we do include it I like the idea of it being won if a player wins with a 0 hand including a Sylop.
After reading up on the rules again, I'm just a little confused about how the betting phase is supposed to work, as I understand it, players can make bets at anytime.
To be clear, when do players make bets exactly?

The visual guide to solo says there are 2 pots. Also in regards to people saying this is the "new canon version of sabacc" and not the real version......sabacc is still sabacc. The old version is still canon. It talks about them playing in the books. This is just Coreillian Spike variant of Sabacc. Therefore, I want to try and figure out a deck of cards that work for both games...and quite possibly for pazaak as well.

I added page numbers (useful for those who wish to print these out). Also, I'm not sure if I agree with adding the rule about discarding a card without first taking a card from the draw pile or the discard pile (Draw Phase 2.d.). That seems too easy to get yourself closer to a zero and contradicts the rules in the Han Solo Card Game (which seems to be the basis for this version of Sabacc).
Well you can’t discard until you already drew a card, you have to have 3 cards before you can discard one.
Yes, but the "Han Solo Card Game" rules don't allow you to discard at all unless you first pick up a card from the discard or draw pile. The shared Google Doc indicates that you can discard a card without drawing one so long as you have 3+ cards in your hand. I prefer the official HSCG game rules, which provides a more risk/reward scenario every time you pick a card. If you can just discard cards without taking one, it's much easier to get a zero (albeit with lesser cards).
TB-7021's version of the rules seem to favor the HSCG approach as well.
Hi! While the rules look really good so far regarding the gameplay, I still got some problems with the ranking.
I don't know if a Sylop should be mandatory for any hand (except the "Sylop Spike", of course)
Thus I would call a total of zero with four cards of the same value a "Full Sabacc".
In case of a draw, a hand with an additional Sylop will always beat an identical hand without one. This would still be canon with the movie (as it explains, why in either game the player with the Sylop wins), yet would be a more consistent way of ranking the hands (imo).
Would really like to hear your opinions on that one!
As for the pots: The movie as well as the HSCG don't seem to mention any different types of pots. So I'd be fine with a single pot like traditional Poker.
This would also relieve us from the problem of defining the special hands for the Sabacc-Pot.
(P. S. I haven't done any edits in the doc yet! Wanted to discuss the issue with you guys first!)
@Muddler, I agree on the ranking, there are still some problems there. Not sure if we should take the Sylop out of the Full Sabacc.
Maybe a Sabacc is the same as a Full Sabacc, but without the Sylop? Where do we position the Straits in the ranking?
After some playtesting I do believe the Sabacc pot works. The Visual Dictonary says that when you win a round with a value of zero, you get the Sabacc pot. This worked yesterday while play testing.
It's really hard to decide...
Other people's thoughts on that issue?
Just an odd thought. What about the suits (triangles, squares, circles)? Would an on-suit hand beat an equal off-suit hand?
I suspect the only reason we haven't seen mention of it is because the Hasbro game only has triangles, but it could help to reduce the possibility of a draw.
