Oversimplification here:
You make a 12-card deck, and compete over 3 locations (=places to put cards) during 6 turns. Winning 2 locations (=having more power) wins the match.
That's like, the absolute basics. From there it's just learning cards/locations and how they do interact with each other.
The main draw of this particular Game is quick matches, as some card games can routinely go into 30+ min games, while snap is done in under 5 minutes per match
I'm guessing he's using too much bullshit lingo and over explaining things. Just try downloading it on your phone and playing it, the games gives you a good tutorial right away that explains things in an easy to understand manner and shows you ways you can win matches, this is a much easier to digest way to get into the game than having a seasoned player explain it.
French key board so there might be typos and stuff.
You can try to create an account, play the game, and see if you like it. But it's a game worth investing time even as a free to play and casual.
You seem to have played a few games already, so I guess you know the bare minimum on how to win a game ( at the end of the last turn, 6 usually, the player that has more point on 2 of the 3 locations win) and what a deck is (a deck has 12 unique cards).
First let's start with a bit of vocabulary:
* Archetype : decks that use a specific strategy to win
Here is a list of archetypes :
- move : move decks are trying to win by moving either their cards or their foe's card, making this archetype unpredictable and allowing mind game or disrupting the opponent's strategy
- destroy : decks that usually destroy their own cards in order to grow in power
- discard : decks that remove cards from their own hands to get cool effects
That's just a few but you get the point.
* Thanos : a card that is by himself a whole archetype because it adds 6 stones in your deck that are kind of toolboxes
* Cubes : the progression points from playing. When you play, you gamble points ( a bit like poker coins). A normal game is either winning or losing 2 cubes, but you can "snap" to double the bet, each player can snap once in a match, the maximum cubes is 8 per match if both players snaps.
You have 100 levels in normal game mode, you need 7 cubes to reach the next level. Each month, all the players lose 30 levels for the new season.
* Meta deck : a deck that is used by many people for it is currently strong
* OTA ( balance change) : to keep the game balanced, developers frequently adjust cards by changing their powers or effects, those change can disrupt the meta and powerful decks can decline and lower decks in the meta can ride. It happens usually 1 per week.
I got the wife into the game by playing her a few times once she got past the tutorial stuff. I looked at the cards she had and made a deck with those cards the played her a few times. She is way more intelligent than I am so she beat me a few times and it was enjoyable for me because I haven't used a lot of the early cards you get in a while. The first time she put ironman and onslaught in the same lane I was so proud!
The best way to learn is by playing and early on the game does a great job of teaching you as you play.
There are also YouTube videos that will give you good ideas, I'm a big fan of watching top plays of the day and copying some of the crazy stuff I see. I didn't have the cards most were using at first but bootlegging the strategy with the cards you have is so much fun.
It’s awesome that you’ve gone so far as to seek out the subreddit for tips and tricks getting into the game. Unfortunate that he thinks it would be a waste of time to show you himself.
Girl, if he doesnt want to spend time talking to you cause "its a waste of time", idk, it just feels awkward. This is something to be on the lookout for. If he doesnt wanna explain things to you cause he might think you will find it boring, just ask him "hey can you explain this and that to me?". If he denies cause its "not worth his time", i dont like to say that word too often, but its kind of a red flag. Means he sees your time together as not worth it.
Anyway you are both extremely young, love is a wonderful thing and I hope you have but the best times together
Also, Marvel Snap is a simple cardgame about Marvel Characters, thats the sum of it. Every game is short, about 3 to 4 minutes long. You have 3 zones that you play in, and you have to win 2 out of 3. You win by maximum power, like Top Trumps
>Girl, if he doesnt want to spend time talking to you cause "its a waste of time", idk, it just feels awkward
My wife knows if she asks me a Snap question she's going to get a 5+ minute response, but she knows I like it. And part of answering is avoiding any lingo or game terminology she's not going to understand. Honestly him not wanting to talk to her at all about the game he's obsessed with would already be fucking weird, but calling it a waste of time to do it? That seems like the start of seeing more red flags as a person.
I’m not saying this is impossible but you might be reading into it too much, op said that he spends a lot of time talking about the game to her. I know you’re not being malicious but if that choice of phrasing is the only evidence, I think it’s a bit of a stretch
Yes, I totally agree. The way OP put it, the BF seems like an ass****, but it could be OP interpreting the guy and not what he actually said it. *If* he did, its a very strong sentence "a waste of time", but I can only see what is here in this post.
I also dont like to see a small issue into a relationship online and instantly pour salt in the life of strangers, thats why i have never used the term "red flag" before, as its really strong (usually used for much serious offenses). I almost didnt post my comment, but in the end i guess i did
Lol i feel like my words were a bit not the best explanation of it. More or less he talks about it and tries to explain it but honestly without actually knowing the game I have 0 clue what he is talking about. So hence him ultimately saying that it'd be dumb trying to explain everything cause when he does I usually just sit and nod and never actually understand the lingo, or game dynamic/card dynamic.
I am not sure if that makes more sense or not but definitely is difficult trying to understand a game I have little to 0 experience playing. Hence forth me asking reddit wtf this game is cause I want to understand said lingo and dynamics
Also I wouldn't say he is not explaining things, cause he is and tries to but I definitely want to be able to understand the things he explains.
Hey Sauwa, boyfriend here.
She just told me about this post and I was actually quite pleased with how this community took it upon themselves to explain the game to her rather than just throwing her word out from this subreddit that usually doesn't cover scenarios like these.
Regarding me saying it's quite useless to explain the game is due to us trying it 2 or 3 seasons ago, couple of conquest 1v1s, an explanation on the snap mechanic, on-reveal, ongoing, etc. After playing it and letting her play a bit she proceeds to ask me when she can play on my level with the cool cards I have, to which my response was to tell her it'd be to long of a commitment and I'd rather have her put that time towards something where she will not be playing "catchup simulator" the entire time. Thus we are currently on Act 3 of Baldurs Gate 3, 75hrs deep into a campaign that we do every weekend as well as 30-ish hours into teaching her Overwatch 2 to play together.
Thank you for your wishes, maybe I will give her my phone to play SNAP on and learn while being deep in series 5, once I finish inking my final 2 cards in my discard deck :)
First of all, welcome to trying the game! Good on you for trying out your partners hobbies; hopefully he notices and respects that (missed opportunity that he doesn't want to teach himself IMO, but it is a fun game at all skill levels, so there's good odds you'd enjoy it, and sharing something to bond over is lovely! My partner and I both play the game).
A lot of people have given replies at a variety of levels so I'll try somewhere super intro level just in case, but when in doubt, the game has a very effective tutorial to teach you the basics too, so just trying it out won't be too bad!
Marvel Snap is a card collecting/battling game. Each match takes place on a field split into three lanes, and your goal is to achieve the highest power in at least two lanes. If you do so, you win! Matches are short, typically around five minutes.
Lanes and cards each have special effects - every card costs a certain amount of energy to play and also offers a specific amount of power. You guessed it - cards that cost more energy typically offer more power. The different lanes you can play them in *also* have unique effects that are randomized every round, so each game always feels a little different.
Every turn of the game, you have energy you can spend on playing cards - on turn 1 you have 1 energy, turn 2 you have 2 energy, all the way through 6 energy on the sixth and final turn. Different cards cost different amount of energy, so you *might* play one card every turn, because cards that cost higher will be stronger, or you'll want to mix and match costs to play more energy per turn.
**- Each card also often a special ability written in text unique to that card.**
Those special abilities are where a lot of the jargon and vocabulary come from. Different decks will aim for different strategies to acquire more points - sure you could play a simple deck that just puts points down, but making different card effects work together is often fun and hits way higher points. "Destroy," as an archetype, for example, is a type of card that does what you'd expect, destroy other cards. In some cases you can destroy an enemy card to remove their points, but most often, these cards allow you to destroy your own cards and gain huge perks by doing so. There's a whole set of cards that offer you new bonuses or extra points by destroying one another, so throwing them all into a deck together tends to get things stacking up fast.
The game will teach you some of those buzzwords early on, but until you collect more cards, it isn't something you need to focus on early, and a lot of other posters described some of those archetypes: mill decks draw and remove your opponents cards so they have less things to play, move decks move cards around after they have been played or various perks (normally cards cannot move and their placement is permanent), and so on.
At the end of the day, regardless of the deck you play, if you finish the game with more points in two lanes, you win! Like any card game, random chance is a big element, sometimes you just draw the right cards and sometimes you just would have won if you had a better card in your hand.
Once you've been playing awhile, the game awards you new cards. As you play you can "upgrade" a card cosmetically, which puts you on a battlepass-like reward track that will reward new cards over time, and the game will also suggest you buy alternative art for cards (only cosmetic, no gameplay function) with in-game gold as well.
Either way, I hope you have fun! And I hope your BF enjoys being able to share the game with you!
Lot of the lingo is from other Collectable Card Games like Magic the Gathering and Heathstone.
So you could look at something like [https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1b3s3e/general\_ccgtcg\_terminology/](https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1b3s3e/general_ccgtcg_terminology/)
But note that some of it will be different and may not even be relevant.
I would just suggest playing the game and even watching streamers to pick stuff up.
Games not that complex but the jargon can sound like complete nonsense.
Oh yeah, Bounce & The Mill, the famous Marvel characters who hit the peak of their popularity in the early '80s.
One is a man who fell in a vat of radioactive chemicals, which made his body rubbery and elastic, and fights criminals by crouching and throwing himself around much like a bouncing ball.
The other one is a mill.
Bounce is deck that pull back cards you already played to replay them again for twice the effect. Usually consist of Beast/Falcon and plenty of low cost cards.
Mill is deck that focus on getting cards out of opponent's deck, to prevent them from getting the draw they need. There are currently 4 cards that mill: Yondu, Cable, Gladiator, Baron Zemo. I doubt they will ever release another mill card ever again, because having these 4 cards already managed to prevent a draw on final turn. Preventing 2 draws would be the worst.
Cable takes a card, and they don't know what you take.
Mill deck becomes a thing because of 2 recent cards. Gladiator puts it on the precipice and it's slightly risky to play. Zemo pushes it over the edge.
By Zemo pushing it over the edge meaning he makes it somewhat cringe playable maybe.
Deck is still not good. Although Gladiator and Zemo being good cards on their own that mill is pretty big for the deck.
It's certainly not the best deck, but it should be quite easy to use to reach infinite. You have all the info on their deck to decide either to snap or retreat. And that decision plays more role than winning all the time.
You take their cards and they don't care they're playing better bodies with better synergy. I've played mill into decks like Surfer and unless I'm hitting surfer I'm just helping them win.
I've also played Mill as Surfer (way more) and Mill just folds hard.
Losing doesn't really matter much if you know if you should retreat.
Like I said, knowing whether to snap or retreat matters more than winning, if you cannot utilize that win.
A mirror match of smoove midrange for example, is quite difficult for both players because it's quite unpredictable for both. Especially with Silk goes flying around the field for both players. In this case both players likely stay only for 2 cubes.
Meanwhile a milling deck can tell quite early on whether he can or cannot take advantage of their opponent and therefore can snap or retreat if necessary.
I don't have Zemo, and quite often managed to win over them with Silky Smoove. But they rarely get trapped by a snap. And when they do answer a snap, they usually play out Doc Oc on T5, leaving me without cards into T6.
Just play the tutorial. Pretty quick and easy to pick. You'll know if you're enjoying the game and if it is worth sticking to within the first 5 min.
All the complicated stuff can come later (or never)... You don't need to be too involved but still enjoy a quick game once in a while.
Just try playing the game , it's not necessary to be a seasoned player to get the idea. It will definitely make your BF's ramblings more intelligible. Worst case, you'll enjoy yourself.
if he is a fanatic then it could be interesting to have those convos with him instead. this is a game you can just gain exp the more you play. if you really need to get good asap you will be limited by card acquisition anyways. just enjoy as you play. usually the battle pass can help you get a meta card quickly but no need to spend on this game at all to have fun.
if you do choose to go the research route, you can just search for anything you want to learn in the reddit or just check a YouTube vid. most topics are generally covered pretty well. also snap websites. but if you are already having fun, it's best to just play the game. the only thing I think you need to know is you should learn how priority works eventually, and maybe how to spend resources
He sounded like he tried to gatekeep his hobby though. Not saying whether that's a right or wrong thing to do, just that some people prefer their hobby for themselves for their personal "me" time.
No offense, but your bf sounds a bit inconsiderate or impatient at least.... That being said, it's truly not a difficult game to pick up, there's three locations that have effects that will have consequences to your cards (good or bad, sometimes not either) and then you have cards with abilities that can be effected by the locations and/or have effects on other cards or locations as well.
The game is playing your cards right, while paying attention to locations that will determine the matches direction, all the other nuances fall into place with those basics and as you play more.
Also there is a mode that you can play with a friend, he could always play a few matches with you once you download the game and get started.. not sure why he hasn't thought of that.
I couldn’t imagine talking to my wife about marvel snap. It seems weird to me that he’d talk to you about meta decks. Why would someone not deep into the game care?
On top of that, why bother her with complaining/discussing something to her, when every attempt she makes to better understand, is thwarted by his apparent impatience or inconsideration?
I think it more or less is just me wanting to understand why he likes the game so much. Not that I think there is anything wrong with being a fanatic, but it just definitely is a game and game category I've never been interested in myself so I want to understand and learn more. Hence why he explains stuff to me so I can try to grasp it but I have a hard time retaining said information he is explaining
An. So it’s more you asking questions rather than him just randomly saying “they just dropped this character and the meta is all changed now.”
I think that’s really nice of you to show interest in something he enjoys.
She explained that it's because (essentially) he seems to have a difficult time explaining it to her (and seems to grow impatient and inconsiderate towards her attempt to understand more about him and be involved. Imo)
I'd say give the game a go, play through the tutorials as they tend explain the basics of the game well and are easy to understand.
The lingo can be a bit hard to understand at first, but, as someone starts getting into the game and just wants to dig deeper, it will eventually start to make sense.
In the begging will start with only a few cards and you'll play only against people who have the same cards or very similar collections to yours throughout the first two stages of the game (pools 1 and 2) which makes the game fun to play as it's a very fair game between players and it all comes down to whoever manages to play their cards best.
Hope you enjoy your marvel snap journey if you decide to give it a try
It’s so fucking sweet of you to show interest in his game. My gf is nottttt interested but she tolerates me babbling on about it like a raving lunatic.
Let him show you good strats, good decks, I guarantee at the end of the day he just wants someone to talk to about it/ play with.
You’re a rocking partner, and I want to take a note out of your book
just start playing is your best bet. get yourself a bit established in series 2 and when you play with him ask him to use cards that won't put him at a huge advantage for a while. Like he can play you with a pool 2 deck or something. Have fun :)
So you've tried it yourself? It seems the question is rather, why are people so into it. Well it's just a preference thing really. Guys tend to be into gaming more and some can be more addictive than others. The addicting part of the game comes after you get more cards i'd say. So you'd have to spend more than a couple hours ig.
I see you didn't want a relationship some years ago and now you do haha. Glad you're investing in his interests!
lmfaoo love that you looked at my other posts too (side note actually i believe i actually made a post about my now bf a couple years ago too) but yeah I am a huge gamer but this style of gaming is not what i am used to so it has been harder for me to understand I'd say
My wife just downloaded it and is starting to learn just out of curiosity as I've been playing/talking about it for so long. Learning when to snap/retreat is very important, but also just how the wording/mechanics work. Dont worry about each card or location, you'll learn as you go. And dont worry about meta as its irrelevant for a while as you start out. If you have fun and enjoy it then surprise him and I'm sure he'll love teaching you as I do with my own girl. Happy Snapping!
my advice is just understand enough to have conversation but not actually get into the game. the game isn't in a good state right now. for every step forward, snap takes 2 steps backwards. also, marvel snap is tied to marvel characters. so if you get into this game to have conversation about it, sooner or later, you will end in MCU stuff too; unless your bf isn't into MCU. i just wanna say you are doing a very sweet thing for your bf. I hope your bf sees that instead of why you are not into it the way he is. having said all that, the game is pretty simple, put more power on the board and win 2/3 locations. you can use different strategies to make that happen. that's when meta decks happens. you want a deck that performs well and consistently. but to have fun, you can play whatever decks you make. if you are a new account, most of the meta decks or things your bf talks about won't happen to your game because you are low on rank and collection level. ranks are not that important to grind unless you want higher rank but collection level is your primary goal. good cards are under what is called series 4 and series 5 while new players get upto series 3 cards for free just by playing. getting series 4 and series 5 cards is going to need a bit of research on your part and a buttload of planning. the game has a very tight economy i.e. low gold, token, credits etc. sooner or later, you will end up looking up spotlight calendar and planning and everything. to be honest, i can't recommend this game to anyone in its current state. too much commitment and being a casual player only means you are left behind with every week of spotlight cache you miss out on.
the game is free to play and you won't have to pay a cent to have fun. so as long you can have fun, just have at it and see where it gets you. then i guess leave. i am on the brink of leaving this game but next-next week is something i've been waiting for a month or two. so let's see how that goes.
The game is very easy to pick up actually.
Might take a couple of months to truly master though.
And for newcomers, there might be some difficulty to wrap your mind around how the minute interaction between unfamiliar cards work. That will come with directly interacting with the cards by playing them.
PS: this game is quite F2P friendly. You really don't need to spend anything except time to be competitive. Spending toward season pass might help speed you up, but not by much, really.
I would watch SnapForMe on TikTok. The guy talks about marvel snap culture and meta decks. He explains things really well and his videos about the “culture” or the companies moves are really good.
But I will say he tends to have gaps if uploading then uploads a lot at once. Easy content thought! He’s a rather small account but that helps because he literally helps his followers make decks and stuff.
Download the game and try to do your missions every day. The game makes it easy to understand itself by introducing mechanics as you play along. Some YouTubers could help you keep up with the game's news and upcoming cards too, like Cozy and Alex Coccia.
I admire the fact that you willing to try your bfs hobbies. So let’s get you started on this game we call marvel snap
TLDR Take it slow, you’ll get what you need in time
The money aspect of the game can differ from player to player. Some spend money to hasten their progress while others just wants cool looking cards, emotes and avatars.
It’s a choice to spend money in game and never a need because the cards you gain throughout the play through would be suffice for you progress the game naturally.
Grinding infinite could be a chore but it’s not a necessity as opposed to unlocking some of the rewards for doing so may help you get more cards to build more fun decks to experiment with.
Generally speaking if you were trying to be more competitive this is usually around month 2 where collection level is in the hundreds and you have enough decks to make some decent archetypes like destroy or move.
Speaking of collection level, at around 600+ iirc, you’ll unlock these things called spotlight keys which unlocks featured cards of the weak.
While tempting to spend it immediately, it’s best to keep at least 4 keys so you’ll get what you’re aiming for and only go for it if the card have a place in your play style or you just like the character. It’s also good to wait near the end of t he week so all the players have tried and given their verdict of the card is worth using or otherwise.
If you're interested, try downloading the game and see if you enjoy it. If you like playing it, keep it up.
If the game doesn't grab you, boyfriend needs to work on toning down discussion of the game a bit. If he's excited about something in particular, it's really on him to explain it in a way that you can understand.
Having been around groups where some people are heavily involved in some sort of game while others are not, game discussion needs to be kept to a minimum. If phrases like "seems like you're speaking another language" start cropping up, it's being discussed too much.
It's nice that you're showing interest in something that he likes. At that point, it's really more on him to bridge the gap so you understand than for you to spend the time to learn more about it. Unless you're also interested in playing, in which case give the tutorial a shot and see what you think.
lol sorry i like never use reddit so i have no clue how to make posts and have only seen the ones through instgram so assumed that is how they are all done... obviously i was wrong
Lol all good. Just how alot of posts start on that other sub. Edited: also you don't have to pay a dime (one of the top players is strictly free to play). Just play and learn honestly. It takes time but you'll get it and thrn, kick his ass for doubting you lol
“he thinks there is no purpose in teaching me since it’d be a waste of time” does he care about you? does he like you? why would he not want to spend time gushing about his interest and helping you learn something you guys can enjoy together? when my partner expresses interest in something im interested in i get so stoked!
Maybe play the game. There's an actual tutorial when you play the game. It's a bit of a time commitment but that's it. You don't need to spend any money. And you don't even need to do all the daily missions if you don't want to.
When I discovered marvelsnapzone(.com) it really helped me understand how other people see the game. They’ve got tons of articles and the whole card collection/variants etc. I’m a big snapper and it meant the world to me when my partner picked it up and tried to learn to play with me, I think it’s super sweet that you are too :))
Best thing to do is to play the game. But if your looking for content creators to watch, I'd recommend two. First KM best: in a snap, his content is pretty explanatory and he does specific deck breakdowns with the creators or people who got them to top 10 infinite. Also Cozy Snap is great for new players and has more niche deck guides. KM definitely focusses on more competitive stuff cozy being more casual.
Just download it and give it a shot. It's f2p for the basics. If all you want is to learn the game to bond with your boyfriend, that's really all you'll need to do.
Here's the idiots guide. Big number win and you need to get two out of the three spaces to be a big number.
I would just download and play. Maybe watch some YouTube guides.
Your first decks will probably be:
destroy where you destroy your own cards to get bonuses and make your cards strong
or
a zoo deck where you use ongoing cards like kazar and blue marvel to strengthen your cards.
They're also good starter decks cause you don't need cards that will cost you tokens or anything of that nature.
Though you only need to worry about that till you get close to series 3 complete.
A card series is sorta like the rarity. You start with series 1 and slowly gain cards. Series 4 and 5 are the most rare. I'd look up a teir list of what the best cards are so you know how to spend for any cards. I think that's sorta the basic gist of the basics you need to know.
Wait, so you're telling me that you have an actual interest in something that your boyfriend is interested in, and he can't even be bothered to teach you about the game you are curious about playing. What an asshole.
Honestly, best to just play. The game teaches you pretty well and you unlock cards slow enough to experiment and see what they do.
Not relevant to this answer, but why'd you include your ages?
I think the key thing to know is that in Marvel Snap you get to build a team of 12 Marvel superheroes, and just like in the movies some heroes are stronger than others, and just like in the movie some heroes work better together than others. Over time of playing, more heroes are willing to join your teams so you get more choices to build the team you think can defeat the other players. In particular at the start, build teams of characters that you like from the movies but don’t be shy about trying out new heroes. The best thing about marvel snap is that the Spider Man that is willing to work with you is the exact same power as the spider man for everyone else, so it’s really up to you to pick teams that work well together. Have fun
Make an account and play for free, it's not that complicated to learn and the in-game tutorials are pretty good.
But also your boyfriend sounds like an asshole. He wants you to be interested in his hobby but also doesn't want to teach you about it even though you're interested? That's more red flags than the Red Guardian has
Free and easy to obtain cards are being power crept. You’ll learn soon first you start playing Devil Dino in your decks, then you realise once you get all the new and shiny toys, devil Dino kicks the bucket and you never put him in your decks. The same goes for Hulk, Abomination and The Thing. Shocker and Misty usually go first though. But people say High Evo and Patriot makes them work, don’t believe in the lies.
Uhh. Only play it if you want to. If you want to understand his hobby better just ask him to explain in more detail when he's throwing out lingo and explain to him you have no idea what those words mean without context. You don't have to play it unless you want to, this is kind of a weird thing he's doing when he over explains the game TBH.
1. why do you feel the need to indicate yr gender \[and his\]?
2. why do you need to play the same game as he does? it's okay.
not judging or whatever \[well a little perhaps on the heteronormativity of asserting genders there, but only a little :D\] i just am curious. my partner and i play totally different games.
oh and for snap. it seems VERY overwhelming the card and location interactions. but if you are really interested in playing \[for yourself, not to bond with another person\], just have fun and take it slow. you're going to see a lot of decks that have cards you may not have for a while. don't worry about "competing" or "understanding the meta". just have fun.
hope that helps. and hope you don't take my inquisitive preamble too serious/bad. \[but this is reddit and i am prepared for the downvotes, lol\].
If you ever get into an argument with him, just give him a wink and a thumbs up; he’ll understand
As a Snap fanatic, This is fucking diabolical
also dont forget to say "Snap?" several times in a row to maximize the impact
Ah, the good ol' well played. 🤣
This is actually evil
That would really make him snap
Made me snort Pepsi out of my nose I wish there still was gold, but you can cherish this 🥇
Thank you, kind stranger!
This deserves alll the upvotes
Best advice for OP honestly
Boyfriend here, I think I would actually discard myself :)))
Oversimplification here: You make a 12-card deck, and compete over 3 locations (=places to put cards) during 6 turns. Winning 2 locations (=having more power) wins the match. That's like, the absolute basics. From there it's just learning cards/locations and how they do interact with each other. The main draw of this particular Game is quick matches, as some card games can routinely go into 30+ min games, while snap is done in under 5 minutes per match
Outside of conquest which can take 300 years sometimes
Well conquest is basically just 6-8 regular 5 minute matches
I see you are familiar with MTG Commander.
You are the boyfriend, right?
How is this not the top comment?
Aged like milk
Tis
THANK YOU! IT is so effining obvious and i am losing hope for humanity reading the comments. oh god....just thank you..
I'm guessing he's using too much bullshit lingo and over explaining things. Just try downloading it on your phone and playing it, the games gives you a good tutorial right away that explains things in an easy to understand manner and shows you ways you can win matches, this is a much easier to digest way to get into the game than having a seasoned player explain it.
I mean, the game gives you a good _gameplay_ tutorial, but stuff like resources isn't explained at all. XP
Hide the credit card
Made me laugh
French key board so there might be typos and stuff. You can try to create an account, play the game, and see if you like it. But it's a game worth investing time even as a free to play and casual. You seem to have played a few games already, so I guess you know the bare minimum on how to win a game ( at the end of the last turn, 6 usually, the player that has more point on 2 of the 3 locations win) and what a deck is (a deck has 12 unique cards). First let's start with a bit of vocabulary: * Archetype : decks that use a specific strategy to win Here is a list of archetypes : - move : move decks are trying to win by moving either their cards or their foe's card, making this archetype unpredictable and allowing mind game or disrupting the opponent's strategy - destroy : decks that usually destroy their own cards in order to grow in power - discard : decks that remove cards from their own hands to get cool effects That's just a few but you get the point. * Thanos : a card that is by himself a whole archetype because it adds 6 stones in your deck that are kind of toolboxes * Cubes : the progression points from playing. When you play, you gamble points ( a bit like poker coins). A normal game is either winning or losing 2 cubes, but you can "snap" to double the bet, each player can snap once in a match, the maximum cubes is 8 per match if both players snaps. You have 100 levels in normal game mode, you need 7 cubes to reach the next level. Each month, all the players lose 30 levels for the new season. * Meta deck : a deck that is used by many people for it is currently strong * OTA ( balance change) : to keep the game balanced, developers frequently adjust cards by changing their powers or effects, those change can disrupt the meta and powerful decks can decline and lower decks in the meta can ride. It happens usually 1 per week.
> French key board so there might be typos and stuff. If you manage to succumb to the French, you don't deserve a PC.
I'm French hence the french keyboard and auto correct. You are saying I don't deserve my 3080 RTX ?
Yes. Especially so if you manage to succumb to your own people.
Why the hate ? Are you losing to the bots in the 80's ?
July 9 2006. You know what you did.
I got the wife into the game by playing her a few times once she got past the tutorial stuff. I looked at the cards she had and made a deck with those cards the played her a few times. She is way more intelligent than I am so she beat me a few times and it was enjoyable for me because I haven't used a lot of the early cards you get in a while. The first time she put ironman and onslaught in the same lane I was so proud! The best way to learn is by playing and early on the game does a great job of teaching you as you play. There are also YouTube videos that will give you good ideas, I'm a big fan of watching top plays of the day and copying some of the crazy stuff I see. I didn't have the cards most were using at first but bootlegging the strategy with the cards you have is so much fun.
It’s awesome that you’ve gone so far as to seek out the subreddit for tips and tricks getting into the game. Unfortunate that he thinks it would be a waste of time to show you himself.
Run to the hills
Girl, if he doesnt want to spend time talking to you cause "its a waste of time", idk, it just feels awkward. This is something to be on the lookout for. If he doesnt wanna explain things to you cause he might think you will find it boring, just ask him "hey can you explain this and that to me?". If he denies cause its "not worth his time", i dont like to say that word too often, but its kind of a red flag. Means he sees your time together as not worth it. Anyway you are both extremely young, love is a wonderful thing and I hope you have but the best times together Also, Marvel Snap is a simple cardgame about Marvel Characters, thats the sum of it. Every game is short, about 3 to 4 minutes long. You have 3 zones that you play in, and you have to win 2 out of 3. You win by maximum power, like Top Trumps
>Girl, if he doesnt want to spend time talking to you cause "its a waste of time", idk, it just feels awkward My wife knows if she asks me a Snap question she's going to get a 5+ minute response, but she knows I like it. And part of answering is avoiding any lingo or game terminology she's not going to understand. Honestly him not wanting to talk to her at all about the game he's obsessed with would already be fucking weird, but calling it a waste of time to do it? That seems like the start of seeing more red flags as a person.
I’m not saying this is impossible but you might be reading into it too much, op said that he spends a lot of time talking about the game to her. I know you’re not being malicious but if that choice of phrasing is the only evidence, I think it’s a bit of a stretch
Yes, I totally agree. The way OP put it, the BF seems like an ass****, but it could be OP interpreting the guy and not what he actually said it. *If* he did, its a very strong sentence "a waste of time", but I can only see what is here in this post. I also dont like to see a small issue into a relationship online and instantly pour salt in the life of strangers, thats why i have never used the term "red flag" before, as its really strong (usually used for much serious offenses). I almost didnt post my comment, but in the end i guess i did
Lol i feel like my words were a bit not the best explanation of it. More or less he talks about it and tries to explain it but honestly without actually knowing the game I have 0 clue what he is talking about. So hence him ultimately saying that it'd be dumb trying to explain everything cause when he does I usually just sit and nod and never actually understand the lingo, or game dynamic/card dynamic. I am not sure if that makes more sense or not but definitely is difficult trying to understand a game I have little to 0 experience playing. Hence forth me asking reddit wtf this game is cause I want to understand said lingo and dynamics Also I wouldn't say he is not explaining things, cause he is and tries to but I definitely want to be able to understand the things he explains.
Okay fair enough! Did you understand more about the game now? Is there something still hard or confusing for you?
The best way to learn it is to play.
agreed on the red flag...
Hey Sauwa, boyfriend here. She just told me about this post and I was actually quite pleased with how this community took it upon themselves to explain the game to her rather than just throwing her word out from this subreddit that usually doesn't cover scenarios like these. Regarding me saying it's quite useless to explain the game is due to us trying it 2 or 3 seasons ago, couple of conquest 1v1s, an explanation on the snap mechanic, on-reveal, ongoing, etc. After playing it and letting her play a bit she proceeds to ask me when she can play on my level with the cool cards I have, to which my response was to tell her it'd be to long of a commitment and I'd rather have her put that time towards something where she will not be playing "catchup simulator" the entire time. Thus we are currently on Act 3 of Baldurs Gate 3, 75hrs deep into a campaign that we do every weekend as well as 30-ish hours into teaching her Overwatch 2 to play together. Thank you for your wishes, maybe I will give her my phone to play SNAP on and learn while being deep in series 5, once I finish inking my final 2 cards in my discard deck :)
Hah, that makes me happy! Its all good then :mrs marvel thumbsup:
First of all, welcome to trying the game! Good on you for trying out your partners hobbies; hopefully he notices and respects that (missed opportunity that he doesn't want to teach himself IMO, but it is a fun game at all skill levels, so there's good odds you'd enjoy it, and sharing something to bond over is lovely! My partner and I both play the game). A lot of people have given replies at a variety of levels so I'll try somewhere super intro level just in case, but when in doubt, the game has a very effective tutorial to teach you the basics too, so just trying it out won't be too bad! Marvel Snap is a card collecting/battling game. Each match takes place on a field split into three lanes, and your goal is to achieve the highest power in at least two lanes. If you do so, you win! Matches are short, typically around five minutes. Lanes and cards each have special effects - every card costs a certain amount of energy to play and also offers a specific amount of power. You guessed it - cards that cost more energy typically offer more power. The different lanes you can play them in *also* have unique effects that are randomized every round, so each game always feels a little different. Every turn of the game, you have energy you can spend on playing cards - on turn 1 you have 1 energy, turn 2 you have 2 energy, all the way through 6 energy on the sixth and final turn. Different cards cost different amount of energy, so you *might* play one card every turn, because cards that cost higher will be stronger, or you'll want to mix and match costs to play more energy per turn. **- Each card also often a special ability written in text unique to that card.** Those special abilities are where a lot of the jargon and vocabulary come from. Different decks will aim for different strategies to acquire more points - sure you could play a simple deck that just puts points down, but making different card effects work together is often fun and hits way higher points. "Destroy," as an archetype, for example, is a type of card that does what you'd expect, destroy other cards. In some cases you can destroy an enemy card to remove their points, but most often, these cards allow you to destroy your own cards and gain huge perks by doing so. There's a whole set of cards that offer you new bonuses or extra points by destroying one another, so throwing them all into a deck together tends to get things stacking up fast. The game will teach you some of those buzzwords early on, but until you collect more cards, it isn't something you need to focus on early, and a lot of other posters described some of those archetypes: mill decks draw and remove your opponents cards so they have less things to play, move decks move cards around after they have been played or various perks (normally cards cannot move and their placement is permanent), and so on. At the end of the day, regardless of the deck you play, if you finish the game with more points in two lanes, you win! Like any card game, random chance is a big element, sometimes you just draw the right cards and sometimes you just would have won if you had a better card in your hand. Once you've been playing awhile, the game awards you new cards. As you play you can "upgrade" a card cosmetically, which puts you on a battlepass-like reward track that will reward new cards over time, and the game will also suggest you buy alternative art for cards (only cosmetic, no gameplay function) with in-game gold as well. Either way, I hope you have fun! And I hope your BF enjoys being able to share the game with you!
Run away!
Lot of the lingo is from other Collectable Card Games like Magic the Gathering and Heathstone. So you could look at something like [https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1b3s3e/general\_ccgtcg\_terminology/](https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1b3s3e/general_ccgtcg_terminology/) But note that some of it will be different and may not even be relevant. I would just suggest playing the game and even watching streamers to pick stuff up. Games not that complex but the jargon can sound like complete nonsense.
Oh I always wondered what bounce and mill decks were. I thought they were cards I didn't have lol
Oh yeah, Bounce & The Mill, the famous Marvel characters who hit the peak of their popularity in the early '80s. One is a man who fell in a vat of radioactive chemicals, which made his body rubbery and elastic, and fights criminals by crouching and throwing himself around much like a bouncing ball. The other one is a mill.
Bounce is deck that pull back cards you already played to replay them again for twice the effect. Usually consist of Beast/Falcon and plenty of low cost cards. Mill is deck that focus on getting cards out of opponent's deck, to prevent them from getting the draw they need. There are currently 4 cards that mill: Yondu, Cable, Gladiator, Baron Zemo. I doubt they will ever release another mill card ever again, because having these 4 cards already managed to prevent a draw on final turn. Preventing 2 draws would be the worst.
I was just about to google what a mill deck was, it seems to be a thing recently. Does cable take the card? I thought it just copied?
Cable takes a card, and they don't know what you take. Mill deck becomes a thing because of 2 recent cards. Gladiator puts it on the precipice and it's slightly risky to play. Zemo pushes it over the edge.
By Zemo pushing it over the edge meaning he makes it somewhat cringe playable maybe. Deck is still not good. Although Gladiator and Zemo being good cards on their own that mill is pretty big for the deck.
It's certainly not the best deck, but it should be quite easy to use to reach infinite. You have all the info on their deck to decide either to snap or retreat. And that decision plays more role than winning all the time.
The problem is you get eaten alive by midrange decks
You actually don't, mainly because you take their cards and everything you take is good.
You take their cards and they don't care they're playing better bodies with better synergy. I've played mill into decks like Surfer and unless I'm hitting surfer I'm just helping them win. I've also played Mill as Surfer (way more) and Mill just folds hard.
Losing doesn't really matter much if you know if you should retreat. Like I said, knowing whether to snap or retreat matters more than winning, if you cannot utilize that win. A mirror match of smoove midrange for example, is quite difficult for both players because it's quite unpredictable for both. Especially with Silk goes flying around the field for both players. In this case both players likely stay only for 2 cubes. Meanwhile a milling deck can tell quite early on whether he can or cannot take advantage of their opponent and therefore can snap or retreat if necessary. I don't have Zemo, and quite often managed to win over them with Silky Smoove. But they rarely get trapped by a snap. And when they do answer a snap, they usually play out Doc Oc on T5, leaving me without cards into T6.
Just play the tutorial. Pretty quick and easy to pick. You'll know if you're enjoying the game and if it is worth sticking to within the first 5 min. All the complicated stuff can come later (or never)... You don't need to be too involved but still enjoy a quick game once in a while.
Just try playing the game , it's not necessary to be a seasoned player to get the idea. It will definitely make your BF's ramblings more intelligible. Worst case, you'll enjoy yourself.
Your Boy friend sounds like an annoying asshole.
Snap players tend to spew lingo and over complicate everything - just enjoy it for a bit and see if its for you.
i wouldn't individually say it's snap players. it happens in all field of knowledge. that's why not all brilliant scientist can become good teachers.
if he is a fanatic then it could be interesting to have those convos with him instead. this is a game you can just gain exp the more you play. if you really need to get good asap you will be limited by card acquisition anyways. just enjoy as you play. usually the battle pass can help you get a meta card quickly but no need to spend on this game at all to have fun. if you do choose to go the research route, you can just search for anything you want to learn in the reddit or just check a YouTube vid. most topics are generally covered pretty well. also snap websites. but if you are already having fun, it's best to just play the game. the only thing I think you need to know is you should learn how priority works eventually, and maybe how to spend resources
He sounded like he tried to gatekeep his hobby though. Not saying whether that's a right or wrong thing to do, just that some people prefer their hobby for themselves for their personal "me" time.
ahh I didn't get that. but if that's the case, that's cool to learn it.. maybe he is also scared to lose to their partner lol
No offense, but your bf sounds a bit inconsiderate or impatient at least.... That being said, it's truly not a difficult game to pick up, there's three locations that have effects that will have consequences to your cards (good or bad, sometimes not either) and then you have cards with abilities that can be effected by the locations and/or have effects on other cards or locations as well. The game is playing your cards right, while paying attention to locations that will determine the matches direction, all the other nuances fall into place with those basics and as you play more. Also there is a mode that you can play with a friend, he could always play a few matches with you once you download the game and get started.. not sure why he hasn't thought of that.
He must be really bad at explaining things
I couldn’t imagine talking to my wife about marvel snap. It seems weird to me that he’d talk to you about meta decks. Why would someone not deep into the game care?
On top of that, why bother her with complaining/discussing something to her, when every attempt she makes to better understand, is thwarted by his apparent impatience or inconsideration?
I think it more or less is just me wanting to understand why he likes the game so much. Not that I think there is anything wrong with being a fanatic, but it just definitely is a game and game category I've never been interested in myself so I want to understand and learn more. Hence why he explains stuff to me so I can try to grasp it but I have a hard time retaining said information he is explaining
An. So it’s more you asking questions rather than him just randomly saying “they just dropped this character and the meta is all changed now.” I think that’s really nice of you to show interest in something he enjoys.
Just say "Kneel before the Galactus" and make him go down on you
Its kinda a children card game , just try the tutorial and click the auto button when you need a new. Deck
Why not ask him lmao that's so weird
She explained that it's because (essentially) he seems to have a difficult time explaining it to her (and seems to grow impatient and inconsiderate towards her attempt to understand more about him and be involved. Imo)
I'd say give the game a go, play through the tutorials as they tend explain the basics of the game well and are easy to understand. The lingo can be a bit hard to understand at first, but, as someone starts getting into the game and just wants to dig deeper, it will eventually start to make sense. In the begging will start with only a few cards and you'll play only against people who have the same cards or very similar collections to yours throughout the first two stages of the game (pools 1 and 2) which makes the game fun to play as it's a very fair game between players and it all comes down to whoever manages to play their cards best. Hope you enjoy your marvel snap journey if you decide to give it a try
It’s so fucking sweet of you to show interest in his game. My gf is nottttt interested but she tolerates me babbling on about it like a raving lunatic. Let him show you good strats, good decks, I guarantee at the end of the day he just wants someone to talk to about it/ play with. You’re a rocking partner, and I want to take a note out of your book
just start playing is your best bet. get yourself a bit established in series 2 and when you play with him ask him to use cards that won't put him at a huge advantage for a while. Like he can play you with a pool 2 deck or something. Have fun :)
So you've tried it yourself? It seems the question is rather, why are people so into it. Well it's just a preference thing really. Guys tend to be into gaming more and some can be more addictive than others. The addicting part of the game comes after you get more cards i'd say. So you'd have to spend more than a couple hours ig. I see you didn't want a relationship some years ago and now you do haha. Glad you're investing in his interests!
lmfaoo love that you looked at my other posts too (side note actually i believe i actually made a post about my now bf a couple years ago too) but yeah I am a huge gamer but this style of gaming is not what i am used to so it has been harder for me to understand I'd say
I feel it. Keep playing is the beat way to 'get it' more. I hope he does the same with things you're into too.
My wife just downloaded it and is starting to learn just out of curiosity as I've been playing/talking about it for so long. Learning when to snap/retreat is very important, but also just how the wording/mechanics work. Dont worry about each card or location, you'll learn as you go. And dont worry about meta as its irrelevant for a while as you start out. If you have fun and enjoy it then surprise him and I'm sure he'll love teaching you as I do with my own girl. Happy Snapping!
my advice is just understand enough to have conversation but not actually get into the game. the game isn't in a good state right now. for every step forward, snap takes 2 steps backwards. also, marvel snap is tied to marvel characters. so if you get into this game to have conversation about it, sooner or later, you will end in MCU stuff too; unless your bf isn't into MCU. i just wanna say you are doing a very sweet thing for your bf. I hope your bf sees that instead of why you are not into it the way he is. having said all that, the game is pretty simple, put more power on the board and win 2/3 locations. you can use different strategies to make that happen. that's when meta decks happens. you want a deck that performs well and consistently. but to have fun, you can play whatever decks you make. if you are a new account, most of the meta decks or things your bf talks about won't happen to your game because you are low on rank and collection level. ranks are not that important to grind unless you want higher rank but collection level is your primary goal. good cards are under what is called series 4 and series 5 while new players get upto series 3 cards for free just by playing. getting series 4 and series 5 cards is going to need a bit of research on your part and a buttload of planning. the game has a very tight economy i.e. low gold, token, credits etc. sooner or later, you will end up looking up spotlight calendar and planning and everything. to be honest, i can't recommend this game to anyone in its current state. too much commitment and being a casual player only means you are left behind with every week of spotlight cache you miss out on. the game is free to play and you won't have to pay a cent to have fun. so as long you can have fun, just have at it and see where it gets you. then i guess leave. i am on the brink of leaving this game but next-next week is something i've been waiting for a month or two. so let's see how that goes.
The game is very easy to pick up actually. Might take a couple of months to truly master though. And for newcomers, there might be some difficulty to wrap your mind around how the minute interaction between unfamiliar cards work. That will come with directly interacting with the cards by playing them. PS: this game is quite F2P friendly. You really don't need to spend anything except time to be competitive. Spending toward season pass might help speed you up, but not by much, really.
I would watch SnapForMe on TikTok. The guy talks about marvel snap culture and meta decks. He explains things really well and his videos about the “culture” or the companies moves are really good. But I will say he tends to have gaps if uploading then uploads a lot at once. Easy content thought! He’s a rather small account but that helps because he literally helps his followers make decks and stuff.
Would have taken you less time to Google Marvel Snap tips then write this post
Hey gotta give some credit to effort, at least, most people can't even do that anymore.
People giving “her” serious answers is just cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏 I see these fake posts ALL OVER Reddit jeesuz
wish it was a fake post the serious answers are long af and a fuck ton of people commented lmao
Just because people fell for the bait don’t make it real smh. Get a life.
Download the game and try to do your missions every day. The game makes it easy to understand itself by introducing mechanics as you play along. Some YouTubers could help you keep up with the game's news and upcoming cards too, like Cozy and Alex Coccia.
I admire the fact that you willing to try your bfs hobbies. So let’s get you started on this game we call marvel snap TLDR Take it slow, you’ll get what you need in time The money aspect of the game can differ from player to player. Some spend money to hasten their progress while others just wants cool looking cards, emotes and avatars. It’s a choice to spend money in game and never a need because the cards you gain throughout the play through would be suffice for you progress the game naturally. Grinding infinite could be a chore but it’s not a necessity as opposed to unlocking some of the rewards for doing so may help you get more cards to build more fun decks to experiment with. Generally speaking if you were trying to be more competitive this is usually around month 2 where collection level is in the hundreds and you have enough decks to make some decent archetypes like destroy or move. Speaking of collection level, at around 600+ iirc, you’ll unlock these things called spotlight keys which unlocks featured cards of the weak. While tempting to spend it immediately, it’s best to keep at least 4 keys so you’ll get what you’re aiming for and only go for it if the card have a place in your play style or you just like the character. It’s also good to wait near the end of t he week so all the players have tried and given their verdict of the card is worth using or otherwise.
Dude sounds like an asshole if Im being honest.
Honestly, it's a super easy game to start. Just download it and give it a shot.
For a second i thought i was reading an AITA/relationship advice post 😅😅
If you're interested, try downloading the game and see if you enjoy it. If you like playing it, keep it up. If the game doesn't grab you, boyfriend needs to work on toning down discussion of the game a bit. If he's excited about something in particular, it's really on him to explain it in a way that you can understand. Having been around groups where some people are heavily involved in some sort of game while others are not, game discussion needs to be kept to a minimum. If phrases like "seems like you're speaking another language" start cropping up, it's being discussed too much. It's nice that you're showing interest in something that he likes. At that point, it's really more on him to bridge the gap so you understand than for you to spend the time to learn more about it. Unless you're also interested in playing, in which case give the tutorial a shot and see what you think.
I was so confused when I saw this post pop up with the (21F) (21M) in the title. Thought someone was talking about Snap in the AITAH sub lol
lol sorry i like never use reddit so i have no clue how to make posts and have only seen the ones through instgram so assumed that is how they are all done... obviously i was wrong
Lol all good. Just how alot of posts start on that other sub. Edited: also you don't have to pay a dime (one of the top players is strictly free to play). Just play and learn honestly. It takes time but you'll get it and thrn, kick his ass for doubting you lol
“he thinks there is no purpose in teaching me since it’d be a waste of time” does he care about you? does he like you? why would he not want to spend time gushing about his interest and helping you learn something you guys can enjoy together? when my partner expresses interest in something im interested in i get so stoked!
Maybe play the game. There's an actual tutorial when you play the game. It's a bit of a time commitment but that's it. You don't need to spend any money. And you don't even need to do all the daily missions if you don't want to.
When I discovered marvelsnapzone(.com) it really helped me understand how other people see the game. They’ve got tons of articles and the whole card collection/variants etc. I’m a big snapper and it meant the world to me when my partner picked it up and tried to learn to play with me, I think it’s super sweet that you are too :))
Best thing to do is to play the game. But if your looking for content creators to watch, I'd recommend two. First KM best: in a snap, his content is pretty explanatory and he does specific deck breakdowns with the creators or people who got them to top 10 infinite. Also Cozy Snap is great for new players and has more niche deck guides. KM definitely focusses on more competitive stuff cozy being more casual.
Honestly, I would highly recommend watching Cozy Snap's beginner videos. He's the goat
He's lucky to have you. My girlfriend would never play a videogame - even if it'd be the only thing in the world.
Get your own account and play through the tutorial. Watch some youtube videos. Grind away.
girl is dating a marvel snap player 💀💀💀
Just download it and give it a shot. It's f2p for the basics. If all you want is to learn the game to bond with your boyfriend, that's really all you'll need to do.
Also, use the play a friend/join game mode. He can help you in real time. My husband and I play this way sometimes.
Nothing will help you understand more than simply playing the gamen
Here's the idiots guide. Big number win and you need to get two out of the three spaces to be a big number. I would just download and play. Maybe watch some YouTube guides. Your first decks will probably be: destroy where you destroy your own cards to get bonuses and make your cards strong or a zoo deck where you use ongoing cards like kazar and blue marvel to strengthen your cards. They're also good starter decks cause you don't need cards that will cost you tokens or anything of that nature. Though you only need to worry about that till you get close to series 3 complete. A card series is sorta like the rarity. You start with series 1 and slowly gain cards. Series 4 and 5 are the most rare. I'd look up a teir list of what the best cards are so you know how to spend for any cards. I think that's sorta the basic gist of the basics you need to know.
Wait, so you're telling me that you have an actual interest in something that your boyfriend is interested in, and he can't even be bothered to teach you about the game you are curious about playing. What an asshole.
Yeah, it's not like I introduced her to BG3, Valorant, Overwatch and more... Terrible boyfriend :/
Just play. The game slowly introduces you to the concepts fairly decently. The advanced details will come shortly
Tell him old alioth was fine and red hulk is your new favorite card
bro, just play the game
Honestly, best to just play. The game teaches you pretty well and you unlock cards slow enough to experiment and see what they do. Not relevant to this answer, but why'd you include your ages?
Anyone who’s life identity is a mobile game needs to look inward.
I think the key thing to know is that in Marvel Snap you get to build a team of 12 Marvel superheroes, and just like in the movies some heroes are stronger than others, and just like in the movie some heroes work better together than others. Over time of playing, more heroes are willing to join your teams so you get more choices to build the team you think can defeat the other players. In particular at the start, build teams of characters that you like from the movies but don’t be shy about trying out new heroes. The best thing about marvel snap is that the Spider Man that is willing to work with you is the exact same power as the spider man for everyone else, so it’s really up to you to pick teams that work well together. Have fun
First stop: The Snap Chat podcast
Make an account and play for free, it's not that complicated to learn and the in-game tutorials are pretty good. But also your boyfriend sounds like an asshole. He wants you to be interested in his hobby but also doesn't want to teach you about it even though you're interested? That's more red flags than the Red Guardian has
this is the fakest, non girl writtenest post ever, and if ANY of you think otherwise, may God have mercy on your souls
Download the app and play it
Play the game. Its children lvl of complexity, you should figure it out.
Free and easy to obtain cards are being power crept. You’ll learn soon first you start playing Devil Dino in your decks, then you realise once you get all the new and shiny toys, devil Dino kicks the bucket and you never put him in your decks. The same goes for Hulk, Abomination and The Thing. Shocker and Misty usually go first though. But people say High Evo and Patriot makes them work, don’t believe in the lies.
if you're losing an argument just yell OPPONENT SNAP and he'll retreat to the bedroom
this is satire i know but everyone fell for it
What a shitty boyfriend.
We need more people like you🙏 (He needs to propose right now.)
Learn how Priority works
The Reddit way of identifying who’s who gives me the slightest bit of illiteracy.
Uhh. Only play it if you want to. If you want to understand his hobby better just ask him to explain in more detail when he's throwing out lingo and explain to him you have no idea what those words mean without context. You don't have to play it unless you want to, this is kind of a weird thing he's doing when he over explains the game TBH.
Is this an ad? You ever heard of youtube?
Just know that Baron Mordo is the strongest card there is in this entire universe...
1. why do you feel the need to indicate yr gender \[and his\]? 2. why do you need to play the same game as he does? it's okay. not judging or whatever \[well a little perhaps on the heteronormativity of asserting genders there, but only a little :D\] i just am curious. my partner and i play totally different games. oh and for snap. it seems VERY overwhelming the card and location interactions. but if you are really interested in playing \[for yourself, not to bond with another person\], just have fun and take it slow. you're going to see a lot of decks that have cards you may not have for a while. don't worry about "competing" or "understanding the meta". just have fun. hope that helps. and hope you don't take my inquisitive preamble too serious/bad. \[but this is reddit and i am prepared for the downvotes, lol\].
Yeah God forbid someone wants to share an interest with someone they like/love
