As a lifelong Marvel fan, I was thrilled to dive into Marvel Snap, and let me tell you—it doesn’t disappoint! This game upends the collectible card game genre with some truly fresh ideas, impressive strategic depth, wonderfully slick presentation, and a fantastic use of the Marvel license.


Want to have the Guardians of the Galaxy in the palm of your hand, leaping into play, guns blazing, and even fighting alongside Yondu once more? How about putting together your ultimate Avengers crew and doing battle across Stark Tower, Central Park, and the Daily Bugle? These are the kinds of dream teams and fantastical scenarios that Marvel Snap allows.


Marvel Snap is wonderfully streamlined: your deck consists of only 12 cards—no duplicates—and games last for six rounds. The board has three locations to contest, but the locations that appear are random and pulled from a large pool. Players queue up their actions simultaneously each round, deciding how to spend their available energy. Once both players have ended their turn, the cards are revealed, triggering their effects.


The game feels like a series of rock-paper-scissors encounters where you’re trying to anticipate your opponent’s moves. And then there’s the “snap” mechanic: you can choose to double the stakes of a match from the next round onwards. Knowing when to snap, when to go all-in, and when to retreat is critical for climbing the ranked ladder.


Each deck I’ve played so far in Marvel Snap has had non-obvious interactions or strategies to learn, making them satisfying to play optimally. And for a game where each individual match takes around three minutes, there are a surprising number of decisions to be made.


In summary, Marvel Snap packs bold ideas, deep gameplay, and a punchy presentation. Whether you’re a Marvel aficionado or just a fan of clever card games, this one is worth checking out. Assemble your dream team, snap your fingers, and enjoy the ride!
