The latest Fallout: New Vegas marketing effort involves releasing the rules to one of the card games you can play within the game, so you can play it in advance. From IGN:
More information.Those that follow Fallout closely would have noticed back in May that the collector's edition of Fallout: New Vegas comes with, amongst other things, a customized deck of cards to play Caravan, a mini-game for gambling found within New Vegas. Well, you don't have to wait until October when New Vegas releases to start playing. The developers have provided us with the complete rule set so you can play on your own with a normal deck of cards and a friend.
Once Fallout: New Vegas launches, you'll be able to play Caravan in the game to win some virtual caps. Bethesda and Obsidian are also planning to launch a Flash version shortly for those that don't like to use real cards.
