In Marvel Snap, a player’s win condition is to control two (or more) out of three Locations on the board. Each Location represent iconic places from the Marvel Universe, and is a key strategic element in the game.
Locations are effectively a column where players can play their cards, with most having special unique effects on cards that are placed on them. Three are randomly selected from the available pool (list below), and placed on the battlefield at the start of the game. The first one is revealed on the first turn, the second on turn two, and the third one on turn three.
Each turn, players can play their cards on any of the three Locations, whether they are revealed or not. A player controls a Location at the end of the final sixth round by having the most combined power of their cards on that Location (unless surrendered prior).
There are over 60 Locations to be released with the official launch, with new ones being added once a week to start. More Locations and Cards may periodically be added to coincide with other Marvel franchise promotions.
Featured Locations
Featured Locations are brand new Locations that are added to the game and will show up 40% more frequently in games during the feature period.
They are active for 48 hours after their release, starting at 0300 UTC on selected Tuesdays.
Hot Locations
Every Sunday, a random Location (that already exists in the game) will be selected to come up 60% more frequently during games, similar to Featured Locations.
They are active for 24 hours, starting at 0300 UTC every Sunday.
