Just a quick note that Bindle Rails will have a younger brother in the near future - Bindle Rails Express.  The current incarnation of the game can be found at Board Game Geek at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3560312#3560312 with a link to Google Docs for the Basic and Advanced edition of the rules so far at http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddbhs2vn_26gq34rvhn.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I will probably try doing a limited edition run with a professionally done dice.

I know, I know - dice?  Despite the fact its dice, it's pretty strategic and has a lot of the same tension and dynamic as the card game with less set up time and half the play time as well.

Check it out if you're up for it.
