Marvel Snap is the latest in the saga of games featuring Marvel characters, however, it is a little different from the others.
Marvel Snap is a digital collectible card game with quite some talent backing it. The game is developed by Second Dinner, the new studio of Ben Brode who was previously the lead designer and then game director of Hearthstone.
Few are unaware of Hearthstone and it would be surprising they aren’t considering how it took the world by storm and still is pretty popular to this day.
With effort from Ben Brode and former Blizzard Entertainment employees who left Blizzard to join Second Dinner, Marvel Snap is certainly set to take the throne from Hearthstone and stay dominant for quite some time.
Recently a new update arrived that brought quite a few fixes to the game, along with some buffs and some changes.
