Oh… I think FFG should do a Sabaac Star Wars card game someday. It's spelled Sabaac, right? Or is it Sabbac?
Sabacc, but yeah - that does sound pretty damn good! WEG tried it but it wasn't half as good as it could have been. I'm sure FFG could do a crazily good sabacc game!

Pazaak might be easier.
Thus do I undo all Gordian Knots!
True, though not nearly so iconic I suppose. The randomizer action is always going to be difficult to pull off, but I suppose having cards within a central draw deck such as "players discard their hands and draw cards to an equal number to replace said cards" could replicate it easily enough. Further cards that could be used to cancel that effect, "discard this card to keep one card in your hand", can be used to replicate the interference field. So not too difficult, but it just means extra cards in the game.

Don't wanna veer off here, but man, it strikes me that Vassal would be tailor-made for sabacc. Unfortunately, I've got enough Vassal work on my plate at the moment already…
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?
Who is everyone kidding? It says star wars and it's a role playing game. the vast majority of us are going to buy it just based off those two things. :p

Unfortunately I was to slow and unable to get a copy of the BETA book. So I am going to get this when it is released. From what everyone is saying the game is well worth it.

I agree. Especially since the Core book is not being released at the same time, but later. It's something to tide you over until the Edge of the Empire comes out. If they were released the same day (Core, Beginner's Box, and Dice Packs), then you might have many skipping the box and just using their money on the Core book and dice. If there is even a month gap, many of us will run out with nerd-ADHD and get the Beginner's box anyway. We just can't wait.
There are a few things in the box that could be used for a Core game anyway that I wouldn't want to miss out on (playmat, extra dice, ship map).

You know, now that you mention it, perhaps this is a sign that FFG is angling for a late Q1 or early-to-mid Q2 2013 release for Edge of the Empire. Granted, I'm no marketing wizard, but it seems that you wouldn't want to put a "beginner's set" out there without having a full version either that's on the not-too-distant horizon.

Anybody remember how long was between WotC's beginner box and OCR?
