Marvel Snap is quickly becoming one of the biggest hits of 2022, earning over $2 million in its first week. The collectible card game is already a huge success, and the developers will soon add a highly-anticipated feature: Playing against friends.
A Marvel Snap spokesperson told The Washington Post that the game's friend-centric Battle Mode is coming before the end of 2022. According to a development road map, Battle Mode against friends will work slightly differently than Marvel Snap's primary ranked mode.
In ranked, Marvel Snap matches you against random players of similar skill, moving you up and down the ladder depending on if you win or lose. In Battle Mode versus friends, Marvel Snap implements a health system, where "each player starts with 10 health and the winning player deals damage to their opponent equal to the stakes of the game."
Using the Snap mechanic doubles the damage you'll do to your opponent, players will compete in a series of games with the same deck until one player runs out of health.
Marvel Snap is a collectible card game starring droves of Marvel heroes and villains. The free-to-play game comes from Second Dinner, an indie studio led by former Hearthstone director Ben Brode. The studio has been working on Marvel Snap for the last few years, and it's already off to a roaring start.
