Shoot Dragon Gate It's not luck — it's how well you read the cards. "In Between" faithfully recreates the classic card game, also known as Shoot Dragon Gate. Two gate cards are dealt — will the middle card land between them? Pass the gate to score, miss to lose your commit, or hit the post and pay a penalty multiplier. Every hand is a probability puzzle. Play face to face at a party, online with friends anywhere, against 20 AI personalities, or train solo. [NEW IN 3.0: ONLINE ROOMS] - Create a room and share a 4-card code or an invite link - 2–8 seats; fill empty ones with AI players - Per-turn timer keeps the table moving - Vote to settle early when everyone's ready - Dropped connection? Rejoin your seat; absent players auto-pass - No account or sign-up needed [FIVE WAYS TO PLAY] Online Room: Play with friends on their own phones Live Deal: Pass one phone around the table at gatherings Score Clash: 2–8 players, humans and AI, with full score tracking Quick Practice: Solo training for card reading and point management Card Counter: Use a real deck — tap each card dealt and see what's left [CORE MECHANICS] - Live probability panel based on the remaining cards - Same Gate rule with Up/Down calls - Adjustable hit post multiplier (1–10×) - 4 shuffle modes: every round / half deck / full deck / manual - Two standard decks (104 cards) for authentic play - Smooth 3D card flips [AI PERSONALITY BATTLES] 20 historical figures reimagined as AI players, each with a hand-painted portrait and a distinct decision style — Machiavelli's calculation, Hannibal's charge, Diogenes' patience, Hemingway's swings. They react to the table too: wide gates, narrow escapes, big commits and losing streaks all get their own lines. [PRACTICE MODE] - Full two-deck sessions with a 3-second focus countdown - Thinking timer: off / 10s / 5s / 3s - Card tracking at three levels: extremes / high-low / all 13 ranks - Every hand color-codes pass, post and out chances - Hand-by-hand review and shareable summary posters - Last 20 sessions saved in history [DECK SHARING] Played an unforgettable hand? Share a code and friends can replay the exact same shuffle — see who reads it better.

An optional one-time purchase removes ads. Pick up your phone and start reading the cards.
