A platform built for players. A forge for creators. A home for the games of the galaxy, by the fans, for the fans.

Games of the Galaxy is a fan-created and fan-led initiative, built by enthusiasts who are passionate about the games of the Star Wars universe.

Games of the Galaxy has set itself a mission to bring the excitement of diegetic Star Wars gaming to life — the parlour and table games played by characters within the Star Wars universe itself. From smoky cantinas to Core World salons, these are the games that shaped destinies, settled debts, and sparked rivalries across the galaxy.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Disney, Lucasfilm, or any of their subsidiaries. Our platform exists as a space for fans to celebrate, explore, and develop diegetic Star Wars games together — respectfully, creatively, and independently — as part of the wider fan community that keeps the galaxy vibrant.

Our vision is simple: to make these legendary in-universe games playable, accessible, and thriving in the real world.

These are our three core principles:

1. SHARING THE PASSION

We love Star Wars — and we love its games.

Games of the Galaxy is dedicated to preserving and expanding diegetic games: those played by the characters themselves. From Sabacc and Hintaro to Cubikahd and Dejarik, these games are more than background details. They are cultural artefacts of a living galaxy.

Our work goes beyond discussion. We:

Develop authentic and playable rule systems
Conduct structured playtesting and iteration
Adapt classic concepts for modern audiences
Showcase gameplay through livestreams, playtest sessions, and YouTube features

Whether you are a casual player, a competitive strategist, or a lore enthusiast, we aim to bring the latest developments in Star Wars gaming directly to you — wherever you are in the galaxy.

2. SERVING THE PLAYERS

Games of the Galaxy exists for one reason: the players.

We are an independent platform and are not affiliated with any club or organisation. That independence matters. It ensures that:

Players choose how they want to play
Groups decide which rules suit them
Communities define their own competitive or casual formats

Our role is not to dictate. It is to enable.

We build the tools, publish the rules, host the discussions, and create the space. You bring the strategy, the rivalry, and the stories.

3. SUPPORTING CREATORS

Innovation keeps gaming alive.

We actively encourage homebrew designers, rule-makers, and content creators to share, refine, and expand the galaxy’s games. New variants, balance adjustments, lore expansions, visual redesigns — this is how communities evolve.

To support creative collaboration while protecting intellectual ownership, we invite creators to use the Creative Commons Licensing system. This allows contributors to:

Share content with clear usage guidelines
Retain attribution and creative credit
Collaborate safely and transparently
Build upon one another’s work responsibly

Games of the Galaxy serves as a proving ground — a testing platform where creators can receive structured feedback, collaborate with others, and develop the strongest possible experiences for the Sabacc and diegetic gaming community.

Looking Ahead

The galaxy’s games were never meant to stay on-screen. They were meant to be played.

Games of the Galaxy will continue to expand its platform, refine its rule systems, support independent creators, and build a thriving, global community around diegetic Star Wars gaming.

Whether you are here to play, to design, to compete, or simply to share your passion — you are part of this story.

The table is set. The cards are dealt. The next move is yours.
