MARVEL SNAP

TL:DR came back to the game after years, lose to unstoppable combos that if they have it, they just beat what I can do. Some cards are just... too easy to circumvent the downside, and others are everywhere & hard to even see what's happening. If you want to see how the other half lives, play this game. If you can afford to be the richer half, this applies to you too. Review. I love this game. Marvel characters, flashy effects, big numbers, some cool combos that take a whole game to set up. Its awesome. I came back to it after years for draft, and it was amazing. When I got bored of draft I could play my old decks and still win. Then they took away draft, Thanos frontier came out, and then it became a "well, I better play around some random colour mechanic that even if you think you see a colour you're wrong" storm. I was about to give up, bought a random booster, somehow lucked into the exact card i wanted. Got the god draw game 1(Ok, it was 2), because game 1 my opponent won by playing 5 cards (no. really.) over 7 turns . I was going ok. Game 2 I get the god draw, oh look, he had the exact card he needed to hard counter me. The streaks happen, sure. but watching cubes le…

good game

Too expensive to get cards and they keep printing and printing cards every week.

Easy to pickup, quick games, interesting & fun card play. Hopefully the card acquisition keeps improving.

As much as I enjoy the core gameplay, this game is kind of hard for me to be able to fully recommend because of just all the nonsense that surrounds it. For every good decision made, it feels like there is at least 2 questionable to bad ones, which is a huge testament to how good the actual gameplay is that despite all my gripes with it, I still want to recommend it. Starting off with the gameplay, you build a 12 card deck that you pilot over a 6 turn game. You see 3/4ths of your deck naturally, and there is (usually) enough meta diversity to allow players to enjoy a wide variety of options to play competitively. While there are certainly stronger tiered decks, the games main gimmick, snapping, lets you exploit metagame knowledge to rank up faster. You snap by pressing a button, and its the equivalent of pushing forwards all your chips and saying "I am all in", doubling the rank up reward when it is pressed. On the flip side, conceding when an opponent snaps counts as a loss, but loses half as much as if you stayed in the game, leading to a fun dynamic where you want to play around with revealed information and catch the opponent off guard. As a result, the 'best meta deck' is o…

snaps my back a lot
