I'm just wondering if someone could explain how exactly that happened.

They played ten cards, which is a win I guess.

this is just like balck jack!(if you have five cards at ahnd and you didn't past 21, you'll win!)

pazaak is using this rules

Ah.. good to know. I won a few times because of this, and thought it was a bug... :D

It is - maybe. In KotOR 1 this situation was a loose, not a win. All card slots full = you loose. Either they changed the pazaak rules for KotOR 2, or it is a bug.

 

I lost several pazaak games which I would have won in KotOR 1 - so I guess it's possible they changed the rules...

Yeah. I too had lost on that account in the first game, and thus therefore assumed that the rules would be the same in the sequel... though I'll have to admit that not once did I look at the rules in KotOR II...

Why can't they just make it based upon your total?

That's too logical. (w00t)

Actually, I remember winning that way in KotOR1 on at least 1 occasion.

It's not a bug, it's the rules. Pazaak was refined a bit in 2. The rule is, you fill up your spots without going over, you win.

A bug is where you beat the Champ twice, lose the third time, and he still thinks you won and gives you his special card. :ermm:

This is why those two number flip cards are good (the ones that say 2/4 or whatever). Use them to bring you down to a very low total, and then fill up the slots for an automatic win.

On a similar topic, did anyone get "the breaker" to work at breaking tied games, cause for me the pop-up saying tied game cropped up, so making it impossible to lay the card!

The way it works is you play the +/-1 to match your oppenents value. Normally, this would be a tie, but withe the tie breaker, it's a win for you.

pazaak = black jack with a bit of pokemon in it... gotta catch them all... the special cards that is..

Yeah, you have to play it when you have 19 and the opponent 20.

Or when you've just busted on 21 and opponent is 20.

 

Oh man, now I'm gonna have to think how I make it happen in my game - ok...never mind, just got it. :p
