Derringer

Maverick-Edition

The money is distributed evenly to all players, the bank is not allowed to give change. The game is based on the rules of Five-Card-Draw Poker using the cards of King-Poker, 10 to Ace. Hand cards are the cards of a player in his hand, poker cards are the cards shown on the hand cards, up to three on one hand card. A hand that is played for show-down can either comprise 2 hand cards with any number of poker cards or any number of hand cards featuring a maximum of 5 poker cards. Then you poker according to standard rules, additional rules govern “loaded“ hands. These are hands with too many poker cards or identical poker cards; generally they are valid unless someone uses a Derringer against them. Those Derringers can only be played in case of identical hands or against a loaded hand. If you go all-in, remaining players can only hold or pass, no special cards can be played and you cannot raise anymore, then show-down is played. If a player cannot pay the starting value of one into the pot, the game ends immediately, the richest player wins.

Derringer – which, by the way, is the name of a pistol – is an unusual game from every point of view: The Maverick Edition has been packed into a kind of studded chest, the standard edition in an elegant wooden box, and the cards featuring more than one card take some time to get used to. Interesting, attention-catching, and a new feeling, even for experienced card sharks, the special cards Shootout at the Saloon and Dead Man’s Hand can render the best poker hand useless. If you love to play Poker, you will have fun this version.
