HumanoidTyphoon Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Does anyone know how pazaak will be played or what the cards will look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 The official site describes it as a collectible card game. Not much more info besides that though. I think you can play it on the Hawk. Not sure about anywhere else. They haven't showed us any of the cards yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanoidTyphoon Posted May 5, 2003 Author Share Posted May 5, 2003 I do believe I did see an option of asking a guy in a cantina if he wanted to play Pazaak. And besides if you could only play it on the Ebon Hawk couldnt the droids always beat yo and the wookie might just kill you if he lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 A Dutch interview with the developers once said that Pazaak was pretty much the same as Sabacc(another card game in the SW universe), but I'd take it with a grain of salt. From the top o' of my head, the interview had several mistakes. I do believe I did see an option of asking a guy in a cantina if he wanted to play Pazaak. And besides if you could only play it on the Ebon Hawk couldnt the droids always beat yo and the wookie might just kill you if he lost. *chuckle* I certainly hope that Zalbaar will be able to keep his temper somewhat in check.

dark jedi 8 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 i believe you can also win money while playing it to help you get now supplies and equipment. i'm pretty sure i heard that in an interview somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Where did you find that interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I heard somewhere that StarWarsKnights.com has a little bit of info about pazaak......now where would I find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 StarWarsKnights.com would have info on KoTOR?? I would've never guessed that. For all you lazy people () here is the info the site has: Pazak: A collectible card game that is said to be similar to Blackjack, but with a collectible component to it. I should be similar to the CCG which was first introduced in Final Fantasy 8. You can take part in competitions to win additional cards to enhance your deck! You should visit the site though!

Toa Tahu Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Well,I'd hope that Pazaak would be interesting enough to sustain interest for us to play.And not because of the $$ factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I bet that it's pretty much like that card game in Final Fantasy 8... a completely optional card game which is pretty much played in the entire world/galaxy, in which you can get some extras if you play it well... if you're not interested tho', it can be completely disregarded as well. (which I did in FF8, it didn't capture my attention at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 As Burrie said, I think it will be optional. Probabaly the only thing that will come out of the game would be winning credits or items. I don't think Pazaak would lead to it's own sidequest or anything to that degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimaster Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I don't think Pazaak would lead to it's own sidequest or anything to that degree. It could though. Which should be optional, cuz it would suck if the player was forced to go off and do a possibly difficult quest for nothing he/she cared about. I bet that it's pretty much like that card game in Final Fantasy 8... a completely optional card game which is pretty much played in the entire world/galaxy Never played FF8 but I agree with the idea behind it. I would probably try it out, then decide whether its fun/worthwile enough to continue playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swat Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 maybe we'll get the ability to transform the cards into common or rare items like in FF8. that'll make me more interested in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with ultimaster here, it might be an optional sidequest as well. It pretty much was the same in FF8, a sidequest which could help you gain several items, but one you could totally ignore. maybe we'll get the ability to transform the cards into common or rare items like in FF8. that'll make me more interested in it I hope not... pardon, but transforming a card into a common or rare item belongs in a fantasy world, not in the Star Wars universe, in my opinion.

Swat Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 oh ya, sorry. trading an item for a card would be alright then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I suppose that could work... or you could play a card game for items (ie. my heavy repeating blaster for your lightsaber) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimaster Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I suppose that could work... or you could play a card game for items (ie. my heavy repeating blaster for your lightsaber) Wow. That would be interesting. Now that I think of it, since it is an RPG, they could have an item sidequest like in a Zelda game or whatever. The player does something (recieves a card deck or something) for his troubles and then if he plays and beats the right person, they give him something else. Its like a puzzle. You have the right item and play the right person, you could win it big. I also heard/read somewhere that as a backstory, the Ebon Hawk is won in a game of pazaak or sabacc or whatever...

Burrie Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Winning the Ebon Hawk in a pazaak game... aaah, lovely parallel to the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimaster Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Winning the Ebon Hawk in a pazaak game... aaah, lovely parallel to the movies. Why not?? There's already a few noticable parallels between the movies and the game. This would make it feel more authentic perhaps. [edit] We know that the player does not start the game with the ship, because they're shot down out of some Republican cruiser, so where does the ship come from?? I highly doubt the player had it previously, and he just goes home and picks it up. Its more likely a gift, or a stolen ship or something. Or....its won in a heated game of sabbac...I mean pazaak.

Burrie Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I think I didn't make myself quite clear there... with the "aaaaah", I meant more of a "nostalagic sigh". In other words, I'd love it if you won the Hawk in a game of Pazaak... or at least that Davik won it in a game of Pazaak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
