### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-07-10, version 0.11.0*

I got this to play Kessel Sabaac (so far just offline).  It’s good fun but the display and visual feedback could be better.  For example:  1. It’s hard to see who’s in stand.  A non-Aurabesh indicator would be helpful.  2. The shift tokens for each player (when set not to hide) are so small you can’t really see what they are. 3. It would be VERY helpful to have a brief notification when a player plays a shift token that affects you, such as “R2-D2 taxed you 3 chips” or “C-3PO exchanged cards with you” or “Sylop value is now 0”. Often I end up with a different hand or fewer chips than I expected because I missed that another player sabotaged me with a shift token.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-05-21, version 0.11.0*

I love this app! The developers really are doing Sabacc and the Star Wars community a huge service with this. It’s not perfect, I wish it would slow down at times and explain why certain hands win a little more, maybe have a “press to continue” after the round results to give time to read. Sometimes the UI is a little clunky and will overlap buttons but other than that you get to try out all the versions of Sabacc the galaxy has to offer FOR FREE!

### 5/5 — Finally a gorgeous and fun way to learn sabacc!

*2026-05-19, version 0.11.0*

Instantly fell in love with the look and feel of the game. I only have two grudges - it seems to make my phone very hot while running and there’s nowhere to turn off vibrations, so I had to turn them off on my entire phone .

### 5/5 — Yes!

*2026-05-06, version 0.11.0*

Cantina in my hand whenever I want. What's not to love? Sabbac is life.

### 2/5 — The Ai cheat so bad it’s insane

*2026-04-24, version 0.11.0*

The game is great, don’t get me wrong. But there is literally no one playing online, so you are pretty much forced to play against AI. And they are very clearly scripted to win no matter what. 

Somehow, some way they always have a better hand than you. And when you think you have a winning hand, they always manage to land a token at the right time to take that chance away. Whether this is intentional or not, I don’t know… but it really kills the game when you lose almost every game because of it. Definitely needs some serious work.

### 5/5 — Utterly floored

*2026-04-21, version 0.11.0*

I am a longtime Sabacc player, to the extent that I coded a text-based version of the game for fun a few years ago. The care that has been put into this app is legitimately unmatched. All of the rules have been beautifully translated with clean, professional, and polished animations and UI. On top of all of that there is not only 1 but 7 complete variations of the game to be played, all within the same app. Truly outstanding. My only suggestion (outside of continuing to add more variations, thank you!) would be to improve the AI bot strategy in local play, as they can be predictable and are relatively easy to fleece. Regardless, this app is truly one of a kind and I can’t recommend it enough.

### 5/5 — Give it a try!!!

*2026-04-08, version 0.11.0*

Menu UI is absolutely amazing!!! I always wanted to play sabbac and the music too this is GOLD!!!! 💯😎

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-06, version 0.10.6*

I’ve been playing like crazy! I love that they have so many variants to play and an unlockable Sabacc For Charity theme.

### 5/5 — Very well done game

*2026-02-18, version 0.10.4*

Graphics and game flow work very well. Nicely done. The music is soooo good. I’m a musician and I normally turn off the music on games because so much of it bugs me, but this has new and unique sounds with a variety of languages, and it all exists in a beautiful world of funk/reggae/hiphop and so forth. Where can I get the music?

### 5/5 — Must Play

*2026-02-13, version 0.10.5*

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite games. All of these are phenomenal and so easy to sink time into. There are SO MANY reactions and a small but incredible community. Animations and art look good, and the developer is always active and committed to improvement. A must play for everyone, not just Star Wars lovers.
