Info on "Inn Fighting," the (in-game) dice game?

[Driddle]

If I understand correctly, the Inn Fighting dice game was crafted so it can be played in-game as well as by itself without PCs. A couple of questions:
1. How successfully do in-game gambling scenarios play out for your group?
2. Any details on the mechanics of Inn Fighting available? (I'm guessing its a simple variant on some other ages-old game, ala Dragon Yawtzee.)

Not sure. But here's a bump and a freebie you can grab called Ship, Captain, Crew.

WOTC's August 2007 preview and September 2007 preview have pictures of some of the game cards, including the "Game Summary" card. That should provide a little insight.

Despite the early advertising, this doesn't look like a game that characters play. It sounds more like a dice (and card) game that players can import their roleplaying characters into.

It looks like a hoot. I'll be picking it up as soon as it becomes available.

I've played it, and it's fun. But unlike Three-Dragon Ante, I don't think this is a game that characters play. Rather, it's a standalone D&D-based dice game that doesn't really have anything to do with your RPG campaign.

An Inn-Fighting dealer promo die sold for $40.95 on ebay yesterday. That make me wonder: Does WOTC see Inn-Fighting as an expandable game that they can keep adding dice to, or is the promotional die just a one-time thing?

Three Dragon Ante didn't have special promos, did it?
