98.148.145.203 (talk) Undid revision 1131818693 by Soetermans (talk) No, it's valuable as it allows Snap players to quickly find the lore on particular cards. This feature is not available in other sources. Keeping it updated is a challenge, but I think it's worth having. Tags: Undo Reverted Mobile edit Mobile app edit Android app edit |

Marvel Snap is a digital collectible card game developed by Second Dinner and published by Nuverse for Microsoft Windows, Android and iOS.[1] The game features a collection of different Marvel characters from the Marvel Universe.[2] The game was released on October 18, 2022, after a period of beta testing.[3][4]
Gameplay
Players each have a deck of 12 cards. Each card depicts a Marvel character with cost, power level, and potentially a special ability. At the start of each round, players simultaneously put one card or more face down on one of three locations. Locations are randomly assigned for each match, and each location has a unique effect.[5] At the end of each round cards are revealed and special abilities of cards trigger. Whoever has the highest power at a given location wins that location. The goal of the game is to win two out of the three locations. The game usually lasts six rounds, each of them giving an increasing "energy" to play more powerful cards.[6][7]
Players climb the game's ranked ladder by earning "cubes". A game begins with a single cube as its stakes, but a player may double the stakes at any time by "snapping", at which point their opponent has the option of retreating or acceding to the snap.[6][7] Designer Kent-Erik Hagman compared the mechanic to the doubling cube of the traditional boardgame Backgammon.[8]
The gameplay of Marvel Snap is considered relatively simple compared to other collectible card games, and individual games typically last a few minutes.[6][9]
At the time of the global release the game featured over 170 characters, with the number increasing weekly.[10][11][12][13]
Monetization
The game follows a free-to-play-model featuring microtransactions for the purchase of cosmetic skins and a battle pass.[7] The game's beta release included loot boxes to acquire certain cards or in-game cosmetics, allowing players to gamble for new cards and skins with in-game currency or real money,[14] which sparked controversy among the player base[15] and was called out as predatory by video game journalists.[16][17] Paid loot boxes are not present in the final version of the game.[citation needed]
Development
Marvel Snap is the debut game from game company Second Dinner, a game development studio founded by former Hearthstone developers Ben Brode, Yong Woo and Hamilton Chu.[18][19] Second Dinner is working on an update that allows for private games with friends.[20][21]
