Pazaak: Sci-Fi Cantina Style 1

Pazaak is best compared to Blackjack. Each player takes turns drawing from the main deck in an effort to score as close to 20 as possible without "going bust" (21+) during a set. A Pazaak match is played until one player wins three sets before their opponent. At the start of a match, each player has four cards from their side deck which can be used to modify the total of their play area, though only one side deck card can be played during an individual set by either player, which adds a measure of strategy and control to what is otherwise a game of simple luck.

A reimagined style layout for a true classic, Pazaak: Sci-Fi Cantina is designed to be as colorblind friendly as possible for any species or ancestry. Each card front has distinct divided areas based on type (main, positive, negative, split, special) and side deck cards use a series of pips in the center so the value is always clear even when fully rotated.

This edition of Pazaak includes one main deck of 40 cards, numbered 1-10, and one 33-card side deck for each player with with identical card distribution. Each deck also has its own distinctive back image for easy sorting without the messy need to count or sort individually by the front faces. Custom storage box and two double-sided rules reference cards included. 108 cards total.

Side deck contents for each player: 2x each value 1-3 (+, -, ±), 1x each value 4-6 (+, -, ±); yellow specialty cards are 1x ±1T tiebreaker, 2x wild value ±1 or ±2 (1±2), 1x double, 1x 2&4 flip, 1x 3&6 flip.
