You can’t just simply buy the best cards or anything like that, you need to actually play the game to earn them, or get enough collectors tokens to buy them since it’s a currency you can’t just buy.
Aaron Price · Oct 09, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWhile progression eventually grinds to a crawl, Marvel Snap had me hooked far before I reached that point, and I’m excited about already announced changes that should at least partially address those issues. This is a card game designed to fit into the free moments in your life, and it does that extremely well.
Andrew Thornton · Nov 23, 2022 Reviewed on iOS, AndRead full reviewAll in all, Marvel Snap provides a good escape for players in a very familiar environment with beloved characters. Rounds are quick, cards are easily collected and upgraded, and new features will be unveiled as time goes on. Overall, a game worth the time and effort trying early.
Barbara Walker · Nov 19, 2022 Reviewed on AndRead full reviewSimple, nuanced, design makes Marvel Snap an essential play not just for card game fans but for anyone that might have a few minutes to kill. It won’t turn every player into a card shark, but it’s bound to win fans in unusual places, and with a low barrier to entry you’re really only hurting yourself if you don’t give it a go.
Jake Tucker · Nov 18, 2022 Reviewed on PC, iOS, AndRead full reviewMarvel Snap is a fun and surprisingly unique CCG card battler with fast-paced matches and lots of tactical depth surrounding a simple core gameplay loop.
NimbleThor · Nov 16, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewMarvel Snap 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. Not everything it attempts is an outright win, however. Its high variance gameplay can be frustrating, but is mitigated by the short games and ability to retreat mid-match, while the collection system represents a bold move away from the norm of buying into a collection, but ultimately feels slow and unsatisfying beyond a certain point.
Cam Shea · Nov 04, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewMarvel Snap is an incredibly well-designed game. It’s perfectly suited to mobile thanks to how quickly the matches resolve, but the level of strategy is satisfyingly deep. The missions incentivize you to mix things up, and the steady stream of new cards ensures you’ll have plenty of options to choose from for such endeavors.
Shaun Musgrave · Nov 01, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewIn spite of some growing pains, Marvel Snap is fantastic and a marvelous first effort from the folks at Second Dinner. Like Marvel itself, it should be fun to see how it grows going forward.
Ozzie Mejia · Oct 28, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewMarvel Snap is a wonderfully intuitive card game that is simple to play, easy to learn, and satisfying to master. Games may take just six minutes to play, but there's a depth of strategy and breadth of variance here that is truly awesome.
Josh West · Oct 28, 2022 Reviewed on AndRead full reviewThe game is fine-tuned, well-designed, and so easily digestible that it’s difficult to put down. I keep finding myself continuing to play even after having completed my daily or season pass missions, just because I want to play another match, or try a new card.

Little-known fact: I played Hearthstone for 4 years, so I am very fond of the TCG genre. I am also aware that it comes with many tradeoffs, the biggest of which is typically money. Marvel Snap tries to streamline this process by awarding you cards as you play the game based on your collection level. This system is really obtuse, and I still have no idea how it really works. I know that leveling cards leads to an increase in collection level, but I don't know how card boosters are chosen. Luckily, the level of cards does not determine their strength, and this component is fixed. The games are fairly short (2–3 minutes), which ironically leads you to binge. The design of cards, especially when leveled, is nice, and there is a good set of locations that change card effects that will make fans of the series interested. I will say that the number of cards, especially early on, is fairly limited. I played for 5 hours and only had 40 cards in a 12-card deck. I unlocked many cards across the season track, but many did not seem to synergize well with each other outside of a few. Meaning that after my first hour or so, I stayed with the same deck outside of one or two changes. The game offers a unique mechanic that allows you to snap the game, meaning that you are betting on winning. This doubles the rewards. If your opponent responds in kind, you have the chance to double your rewards, which was a cool feature. Once you get to a high enough level, you can also gain or lose progress due to this factor, which adds an additional level of stakes and strategy. If you know that the game is a loss early on (which may happen because you read the card or location description wrong), you can retreat and leave early to minimize the harm to your time and rank. Monetization is another thing that is super important in games like this (remembering how financially draining Hearthstone can be). This game does have some issues as far as this goes, as you are awarded card boosters after each game and credits based on completing missions. The early part of the game had me able to upgrade cards as I obtained the required boosters, but the latter half had me waiting for missions to reset before I had enough to upgrade them. As a result, this is a game best played in short bursts. Overall, I have to say that Marvel Snap is a good game. It is super casual and may be a good entry for those looking to dip their toes into the genre. There are plenty of combos that you can try out, and everyone's experience will be a little different based on the mystery cards you unlock through your rewards track.
