'Marvel Snap' will let you play against friends this year

In most popular card games, playing against friends is the core appeal. "Marvel Snap," on the other hand, is entirely digital and uses a simple online ranked ladder system that matches you against random opponents of a similar skill level. It's easy to slip into the game's compulsively svelte six-turn rhythm, but it's also only natural -- while watching a friend on their phone, in their match, open with a tried and true Squirrel Girl gambit, producing multiple squirrel tokens to rack up points alongside their queen -- to say, "I could do that better."
