'I craved a bite-size experience': Ben Brode on the making of Marvel Snap

There's a lot that is surprising about Marvel Snap, the new free-to-play digital card game from one of the minds behind Hearthstone (and the money behind TikTok). A match takes just five minutes. Both players play their cards at the same time. Perhaps the biggest surprise, as the game launches its second monthly season, is that it's really, really good. I spoke to Ben Brode, the co-founder of Snap's developer Second Dinner, about what Snap is, how the team set out to fix the problems of existing trading card games, and where they're going from here. The rules of Marvel Snap are endearingly simple, especially compared with the complexity typical of card games.
