About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a tense showdown in InBetween, a two-player card game that throws you into a fierce battle between good and evil. On one side, you're the Town player, trying to protect the inhabitants of Upsideville from the clutches of a dark entity. On the other, you take on the role of this sinister creature, seeking to drag the residents into your dimension of darkness. Each player uses their cards and unique powers to tip the scales in a cosmic tug-of-war. The smart move here is to use your cards wisely, manage your hand like a master, and, of course, keep an eye on your opponent to activate that super-powerful ability that can only be used once. Victory goes to whoever pulls more people into their dimension or whoever maxes out their 'Awareness' of the rival. It's a fast-paced game with a horror and sci-fi feel, perfect for those who enjoy strategic duels with a 'take that' element. The good news is it doesn't take too long, so you can play multiple rounds and feel your strategies evolve. If you enjoy head-to-head games with themes and mechanics that make you think, InBetween might be the right pick for your table.
