This is a remix of Comparing Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1102.The purpose of this game is for students to practice comparing 3-digit and 4-digit numbers, use the appropriate vocabulary, and symbol to support sol 3.1c.  Games are a great way to have students practice a skill and my students love to play them.  Students work with a partner to compare two numbers, discuss how they know if the first number is greater than, less than, or equal to the second number, and write the symbol. This game would be played after students are familiar with comparing numbers, the vocabulary, and symbols.
