Travel to the headquarters of the villainous Hutt gangster Jabba, use the abilities of Rebel Alliance heroes and palace residents, defeat enemies and pursue your own goals to victory!
Star Wars: Jabba's Palace is a dynamic card game requiring deduction skills and a willingness to take risks. It's based on the mechanics of the popular Love Letter: the turn goes around the table, where each player takes turns drawing one card from their hand and discarding one, considering its effect. In this version, however, the most important thing is to complete the objective that is set at the beginning of the round.
What does this involve?
Jabba's Palace takes several rounds to play, during which you use the effects and values of the cards to achieve your goal and eliminate other players. Each player starts with one card in their hand. On their turn, they draw another, and then discard one to process its effect.
Each character card has a value and effect, as well as a symbol indicating that the character is either a Rebel hero or a palace dweller. This is important when considering the effects of certain objective cards and character cards.
Play continues until the deck is exhausted then we check which of the remaining players on the table has achieved the objective drawn at the start of the round. If all but one player drops out early, that player is the winner.
