MAJOR UPDATE: Pazaak, Hintaro and Challenge Mode!

Oct 3

4 min read

It's here! Jump into Pazaak, Hintaro and Jedi Temple Challenge with our latest update!

Statement: Attention, meatbags!

This unit is pleased to announce that the latest release now includes Pazaak.

Observation: Many of you have been losing credits at Sabacc for some time. This unit has calculated that adding another game will double the efficiency with which you lose them. You are welcome.

Advisory: Please do not accuse the droid opponent of cheating. It is not cheating. It is simply superior. This unit can relate.

Wow, don't know what happened up there, but HK-47 isn't lying, Pazaak is finally in the app! Go assemble your side decks and get playing See https://www.gamesofthegalaxy.com/pazaak for rules, or in-app tutorials!

Introducing: Pazaak

New game mode features include:

Side decks, with unlockable plus, minus and special cards, for meatbags who believe they can control fate.

Ranked matchmaking system with queue (yes, you can play against my fellow droids while waiting) and challenge friend (unranked) mode

Introducing: Hintaro

You can now roll your Chazwa dice in the hope of winning all the credits. Hintaro is available for online play in normal mode or buy-in and against droids locally Check out the in-app tutorials for how to play, or check out https://www.gamesofthegalaxy.com/hintaro

We also heard some players have started to predict rolls based on the animations, DANK FARRIK, this should now be fixed so let's see you scoundrels predict it now.

To make space for more variants, the Host/Droid screens have been updated with a variant carousel and mode tabs for easier navigation. Also, a toggle for haptics has now been added to settings, which has been requested!

RULE CHANGE : KESSEL SABACC

The Markdown shift token functionality has finally been fixed to match Outlaws regarding Pure Sabacc:

A Pure Sabacc now loses to a sabacc (pair) hand if markdown is played.

It still wins over nulrhek hands though!

This has been confirmed to be the case by brute force testing in outlaws (thank you @Matt and others for this). See https://www.gamesofthegalaxy.com/kessel (sources tab) for proof and explanations. If you have opinions on this... wait I'll let HK take this:

Statement: Oh, yes! Pain is really the only reliable means by which truth may be obtained... or so I choose to believe.

NO! No no no, not what we meant. Oh well.

Shift token multiples

The shift token selector has gotten a UI refresh and you can now also (finally) add multiples of some shift tokens (following outlaws structure), namely:

- Free draw: 3

- Refund: 2

- General Tariff: 3

- Target Tariff: 2

- Embargo: 2

- Immunity: 2

- Exhaustion: 2

LANGUAGE SUPPORT

This feature has been highly requested and translations have now been added for French, German, Spanish and Portugese (one each for PT/BR). Shout out to EMEA & South Americas regional players on the Discord!

Note: since this is a HUGE undertaking, the initial translations have been made using machine translation. But fear not, we have wonderful community members that are helping out by checking and editing the translations manually.

If you would like to help out with adding or checking your native language, please ping @Community Managers to get the @Volunteer role and access to translation channels!

Jedi Temple Daily Challenges

You can now compete in Jedi Temple against other players, every day a random seed will be generated and added as a contract. Each player has 3 attempts to complete the challenge and are ranked using cards + dice remaining and lastly time to complete. Results can be seen in the Jedi Temple leaderboard after event has completed and a discord message will be automatically posted at 21:15 Galactic Standard Time (aka UTC) with the top players.

Other

You can now also send and receive reactions when in Droid play!

Offline mode has been fixed and a Offline Mode toggle has been added to settings to force app into this mode if wanted.

Enjoy! And as always please give ⁠feedback and let us know what you think!
