Derringer (2010)

From the rulebook: "Derringer will take you to the saloon where honourable citizens sit at the table with dubious characters, playing Poker. ... When so much money is at stake, everything is possible. It happens that people help their luck using marked cards or another ace- but cardsharps are not welcome. Don't let them catch you or someone may grab a gun, and then the fastest shot decides rather than the best hand."

Derringer is a Poker variant where each of the oversized hand card shows one to three Poker cards. Rules follow those of five-card draw Poker, but you have to decide which cards to play. With the 5 hand cards several possible Poker card hands may be built. You play a bid round, a buy round and a second bid round. When it comes to show your hand, you play two hand cards (showing 5 or 6 Poker cards) or as many hand cards as necessary to play exactly 5 Poker cards. Double cards or playing 6 Poker cards counts as card-sharping; in this case other players can decide to play Derringer cards to shoot that player out of this round. Three additional special power cards are in the the deck, allowing special actions.

The game comes in two editions, "Maverick" and "Traveller". Traveller has the minimum equipment, and the bills are smaller und uncut, but it still comes in a veneer-wooden box. Maverick comes in a splendid wooden case, with larger and fully-cut bills and more Poker chips. Summary cards explain the special power cards and the Poker hand values
