Marvel Snap’s Black Panther season brings new cards and locations

Marvel Snap, the hit mobile card game that recently got an official release, just started its next season. To coincide with the release of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the digital card game just got an influx of Black Panther content, including new cards and locations..

Warriors of Wakanda Season | Developer Update | November 2022

Marvel Snap‘s various seasons bring new locations, rewards, cards, variants, and avatars. This season is no different, as it introduces many new additions inspired by the Black Panther series. Dubbed “Warriors of Wakanda,” the latest update’s crown jewel is the Black Panther card. This new card has the ability to double its power on reveal, making it a great fit with buff cards like Okoye and Nakia and others like Wong, Onslaught, Taskmaster, and more.

The update brings several new locations too, which can significantly change rounds. One of those new zones hasn’t showed up during play yet, so its ability is a bit of a question mark. The new locations are:

  • Shuri’s Lab: When you play a card here, its power doubles.
  • Warrior Falls: After each turn, cards here fight! Destroy the weakest one(s).
  • Vibranium Mines: When you play a card here, shuffle three Vibranium into your deck.
  • Wakandan Throne Room: Currently unknown.

Like other seasons, the new battle pass also includes many chances to farm more gold, credits to upgrade your card collections, and boosters to level up cards.

While there may be plenty of issues with slow card collection progression and time sinking, Marvel Snap is enjoying early success with over 5 million downloads in its first 10 days alone. You can now download Marvel Snap on mobile devices and PC using Steam or the Bluestacks Android emulator.

Any game with Marvel characters in it is going to draw some attention. Add in the fact that this one, Marvel Snap, is free-to-play on mobile and PC and an even bigger crowd is going to at least want to give it a shot. However, unlike other Marvel games like Marvel's Spider-Man or Marvel's Avengers, Marvel Snap is a collectible card game and not an action title. That alone might make a few people second-guess playing, but Marvel Snap is one of the most accessible deck-building games out today.

Featuring all the iconic heroes from the Marvel universe, Marvel Snap is a quick, fast-paced, and easy-to-learn card game. However, just because the rules are easy to understand doesn't mean that winning is just as easy. There's plenty of depth and strategy to learn to best your opponents. If you want some early tips and tricks to up your game in Marvel Snap, we've assembled the best of the best.

Marvel Snap’s simplicity is its ultimate superpower
Venom affects a Marvel Snap playng field.

Marvel Snap is an easy card game to learn. It has a short tutorial and a simple “whoever has the most points wins” condition. Each round lasts two minutes at most and requires you to play cards that feature illustrations of your favorite superheroes. It has a wide appeal.

It’s also the kind of game where you can drop a card with a name like Onslaught on a location called Bar Sinister that’ll, in turn, help you get over 1,000 points. Playing other cards in a certain order might even break the app.

Marvel Snap is excellent, but its progression system still needs work

I've been playing the recently released digital trading card game Marvel Snap longer than most. Since the beta began earlier this year, I've been addicted to the superhero game like nothing else. Every time I open it up, I remember why I called it perfect for beginners and a great refresher for the trading card genre. But like all relationships, there have been a few rocks along the way that questioned my love for it -- ones that have carried over to its full release.
