Denny’s released a new advertisement Monday that features child actors standing in for the young Han Solo and Lando Calrissian.
Set in a cantina, the commercial features young Han and Lando playing a game of Sabacc surrounded by Chewbacca and a few new creatures.
According to Board Game Geek, Sabacc is a gambling card game based on a game referenced within the “Star Wars” universe. The game is played with a unique 76-card deck, comprised of four suits of 15 cards (Coins, Flasks, Sabres and Staves) as well as a number of unsuited face cards.
Gameplay loosely resembles poker, while hand scoring resembles blackjack. Players are dealt an initial hand, then can draw more cards to their hand, while wagering over the value of hands. Wagers are paid into two pots, a Hand Pot and a Sabacc Pot. Once the hand has been called, players reveal their hand to win the Hand Pot: the winner is the player with the highest hand value that is doesn’t exceed 23. A player with a hand that totals exactly 23 or -23 has Pure Sabacc and wins the Sabacc Pot. Since unwon pots roll over into the next hand’s Sabacc Pot, the Sabacc Pot can grow to be quite large.
“Solo” stars Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, Donald Glover, Paul Bettany and Joonas Suotamo. Lord and Miller said last week that they decided not to challenge Howard on a “directed by” credit on “Solo,” but rather took on executive producer credits.
“Solo: A Star Wars Story” is set to hit theaters May 25.
