### 5/5 — Please add back table Titles

*2026-02-05, version 0.10.5*

Not sure if it was intentional or not but the most recent update removed table titles. I liked Boeing able to do that made the game feel more alive please add back. Otherwise pretty solid game.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-02-01, version 0.10.5*

I fell in love with this app as soon as I found it! The only thing I feel it would need is the Pazaak game added from KOTOR.

### 5/5 — Banger Game and it's FREEEEEE

*2026-01-30, version 0.10.5*

I never leave reviews but this game 100% deserves one.

Amazing game recreations, the music is FANTASTIC- download this immediately!

### 5/5 — SABACC MADE BY FANS FOR FANS

*2026-01-23, version 0.10.3*

this is something I never would’ve imagined and the community is. So big that im glad to be a part of it

It’s crazy how niche but amazingly fun it is and it’s going for a positive note join the discord and play and give feedback back! The app gets better and better

Even tho there are issues here and there it’s being fixed when it can and that’s the best part they listen and make it great

### 5/5 — Best of the best!!!

*2026-01-20, version 0.10.1*

Great game!! That should be on top! Looked for it for months!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-01-15, version 0.10.0*

I’ve sunk hours into this and enjoyed every minute. It’s full-featured, rewarding, and fun to play. It’s also lovely.

### 5/5 — YES!!!

*2025-12-31, version 0.9.3*

Thank you for making this. I love playing sabaac.

### 5/5 — Classic Sabacc!

*2025-12-11, version 0.9.3*

Love the u/i and game modes. Awesome to have a sabacc app back out! 10/10

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-12-11, version 0.9.3*

Been wanting a game where I can play Kessel Sabbac outside of “Star Wars Outlaws” and this is it. It’s awesome! Keep up the great work! :D

### 5/5 — OST Expand

*2025-11-28, version 0.9.3*

Now this is what I’m talking about. I’ve heard there was an old Sabacc app that was discontinued, and to see this one pleases me. Especially with all the known variants which make it a big improvement over the old one. The only thing I’d ask for is more music tracks. Think you could arrange it?

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted! But I do have one request…

*2025-11-28, version 0.9.3*

It’d be great if they added pazaak to this. I’d love to play that without having to start another playthrough of Knights of the Old Republic.
Heck, I’d love it if they could add all the games we see and hear about on Star Wars, like Dejarik or Cubikahd.

### 5/5 — Yes!

*2025-11-28, version 0.9.3*

I have been waiting for this.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great Sabaac App!

*2025-10-19, version 0.9.3*

I have been waiting for so long to have Sabaac on the phone, and the atmosphere of this app is out of this world.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even start

*2026-02-12, version 0.10.4*

It’s been two days now, and the app is asking me to do an update, but there’s no update in the App Store.

So five stars for a screen asking me to update. Zero stars for an actual fun app.

### 1/5 — Update?

*2026-02-11, version 0.10.4*

Downloaded the game yesterday. It says I need to update to play. There is no update in the App Store. Close the game and try again. Same thing. Tried at least 5x. Shame.

### 1/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2026-02-03*

Fantastic! It looks great, feels great, and sounds great! 

I just wish it were possible to play with a friend or two and droids at the same time. 

Otherwise, perfect!

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2025-11-12, version 0.9.3*

Every local game is fixed for the player to lose.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Close but

*2025-11-19, version 0.9.3*

Polished app but playing spike with no option to discard when drawing just seems to make it a pure game of chance on top of the spike aspect, plus the dice seem rigged against the player.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Frustrating bug, please fix

*2025-10-10, version 0.9.3*

I love everything about this game except one tiny bug. If ANYTHING happens to the screen during a droid's turn in a local game, it freezes and I have to start a new game to keep playing locally. Please fix this and I'll give five stars.

### 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 .

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2026-02-07, version 0.10.5*

I’ve been waiting for this for years! So glad it’s finally here! My nephew and I love playing sabacc. Now we can play when ever we want! There are a few bugs in the game, but I’m sure they will be fixed overtime.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME!!!

*2026-02-05, version 0.10.5*

So fun and easy to get into I love playing it with my friends and family. No problems and free with no ads! I recommend you try it if you are a Star Wars fan.
