How did Han Solo win a ton of stuff? Hell, he earned his Ship and a Planet from one thing and one thing only..
Sabacc "Sabacc is a card game, played by the high-rollers of the universe"
So, in this long-awaited smuggler revamp, why not implement Sabacc? Maybe just between Smugglers, maybe encompass the entire galaxy. And, for an added bonus, allow the Smuggler to have a buncha bonuses and tricks for a game like this. Have the game only playable in Cantinas, and the like, and it would spice up the setting, community, and it would overall add to the feel. I mean, hell, the rules have already been outlined. Say, two smugglers sit down, initiate a Sabacc game, the trade window pops up (for bets and such to wager) and then the game begins. You could even have the game viewable by others, and smuggler techniques (such as cheats and tricks, like seeing the next card, being able to pull an ace out at a key point, and the such) are challenged in the same way as contraband searchs would be conducted.
It would rock, imo. However, since this is more of a 'win game' then it is a 'fun game' to some people, i'm pretty sure only few people would play it, unless it would gain EXP for the underworld tree, or something..

yep, and the Lando Calrissian books outlined the rules pretty well, as well as (I think) all the cards.

There are websites where you can play Sabacc with different rule sets, but unfortunately I lost the links.
Some people on Kettemoor have come up with a way to play where one person "deals" by telling others what they have and controls the game in that fashion. If interested, contact T'qnz on Kettemoor. I'm sure he'd be willing to share his ideas.
