This article is about the Sabacc hand. For more uses of the phrase "Idiot's Array", see Idiot's Array (disambiguation).

An Idiot's Array was a rare hand in some versions of sabacc, consisting of the Idiot, a two of any suit, and a three of any suit. Rather than being added together, which under normal sabacc rules would give a total of five (2 + 3 plus the Idiot's value of zero), it was read as 23. An Idiot's Array trumped even a Pure Sabacc (a positive score of 23).

Lando Calrissian won the droid Vuffi Raa with an Idiot's Array in a sabacc game on Oseon 2795.[1]

Vuffi Raa explained the Idiot's Array to Waywa Fybot during a journey through the Oseon system, while attempting to teach the avian Imperial officer how to play sabacc. Fybot decried the Idiot's Array as "ridiculous." [2]

Two Idiot's Arrays were seen in the game that Darth Bane, known as Dessel at the time, played against a Republic soldier, an Ensign, while he was still on Apatros some time before he joined the Sith Army. Darth Bane won this game of sabacc in sudden demise by achieving a pure sabacc with a hand of 2, 3, the Idiot, nine, and nine.
