Sabacc has cool 3D monsters, but I'd like to know how to play Pyramid. I know there must be someone who sells the cards.

Ug, I really need to think just a tad more than posting in no-edit forums... :D Sabacc is the game with the changing cards, I'd really prefer that cool 3D monster game from ANH. 8)

OK i know i forgot to add the Star Wars Games but Sabbac was not the game with the Holigraphic Monsters, that game was Dejarik which i assume is similar to Chess in some way.
Sabbac is more like playing Blackjack with Tarot Cards.

By the way, fizbin doesn't exist. It was just something Kirk made up as a diversion.

Yea, but the learning curve is a little steep; I like a game that takes me under five years to learn the basics.

Like strip poker!

But Azad lets you become leader of an interstellar empire! Are you bad enough to be the president?

But the winner's were ritually sacraficed in the Olmec court game.

BTW what's the name of the "Glass Bead Game" from Herman Hess's (Damien) it was supposed to be something like Go & Ancala etc, and it took years to master, and the whole earth was ruled by the teenager who was the "Mozart" of the game....

I'm not sure - but now I've dug further into my memory and found out that it didn't kill all life on Earth - it just killed humanity.

Nah, it's an old short story, which was an account of an AI ship blowing the earth away to prevent infection of other AIs with the game of chess, which for some reason, addicts them.
