So I started playing KOTOR again, for like the fifth or sixth time, and spent more time playing the Pazaak side game than anything else. Then I found a Pazaak Cantina game on the Google Play Store.
Long story short, I decided I want to make my own decks. The problem is, each player is supposed to bring their own deck to the game, having collected cards from all over the galaxy. Clearly, that's not a viable option, so I'm tweaking the rules a bit.
According to Wookieepedia, the master deck, or what I've been calling the house deck, is made up of 40 cards, four sets of 1 through 10, all of the same color. In KOTOR, they're green, and all are positive values.
To alleviate the issue of having players bring their own decks, I've decided to make a Players Deck, which is a single deck that both players randomly draw or are dealt, ten cards each. For the sake of ease and fairness, it'll be random, instead of chosen like in the actual game. Included in the players deck, are all the available cards in KOTOR, add 1 through add 6, subtract 1 through subtract 6, add or subtract 1 through add or subtract 6. These would all have four sets included in the deck. And then, one each of the five specialist cards.
+/-1 tie breaker, +/- 1 or 2, double, reverse 2&4, and lastly reverse 3&6.
The game would include the set tokens, a game mat with 9 card slots (since, with KOTOR 2, a 9 slot fill without busting counts as a win, regardless of the point total (which I'm calling a Pazaak)) for each player, as well as regular poker chips for betting. I'm leaving it as a 2 player game for the time being, but developing rules for 3+.
What sort of card stock would be good to make these?
I think prototypes can be easily made with regular playing cards, or even UNO cards, but eventually I want to print out a complete set.
