you can miss all you want, just remember that each time you miss landing on a gate your Bakugan goes to the used pile, and your oppent gets a turn. So, You roll, and miss.I roll and Bakugan stand on my gate.You roll and miss.I roll and Bakugan stand on my gate, if there was a second gate, I'd have to move it, if not I've gotten a gate easy.So you risk having 2 bakugans standing on gate cards, and risk that one of those gate cards will be easyly taken by your oppenent.
