Ninja Division presents the poker dice for Rail Raiders Infinite:
Among the worlds of the C.O.W., games using poker dice such as Showdown
on the Star Express and Beige Bart’s High Noon Showdown have become
popular among Raiders and Tinstars alike. Given the violent world of
Raiders and Lawbots, it is perhaps not a surprise that “showdown” games
are the most popular. Indeed, more often than not, a game ends in a real
showdown. How else is a Raider supposed to unwind after a hard day of
banditry upon the space rails?
Given poker dice’s history in the setting and the the sci-fi western
theme of the game itself, it was only natural for poker dice to feature
in the game. Poker dice are used to resolve shootouts and other
situations within the game. Each die features six values: 10, Jack,
Queen, King, Ace, and Joker. Players roll a hand of five dice and then
attempt to make the highest poker hand from the results. The player with
the highest hand wins!
Typically players only roll five dice. However, special circumstances
may give players additional dice. Players can also use a Joker result as
any value, significantly increasing the likelihood of a good hand. Some
bandits and items of loot also have unique effects which occur
depending on what was rolled. A good poker player always rolls with an
eye for the best advantage in the given situation!
