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.
