Marvel Snap Heads Into A Brave New World With Captain America-Themed Season In February

A new season of Marvel Snap kicks off this week, and in February, the online game will feature several new cards inspired by Captain America: Brave New World. The first Captain America movie that features Sam Wilson as the star-spangled Avenger, Marvel Snap is drawing inspiration from it with a season pass card that offers several opportunities for tag-team tactics.

Additionally, the game will see a few other familiar faces from the Captain America mythos, including the new Captain America's trusty sidekick Redwing, a general Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross card that can be used to stack your hand with gamma-powered heavyweights, and a member of the Serpent Society who'll fit in very nicely with a Hazmat deck. On top of that, there are also two new locations, a brand-new game mode launching February 14, and some good-looking variants to grab this month.

Due to Second Dinner being caught up in the TikTok crossfire last month, regular players recently got a compensation package that included a ton of credits, gold, and keys to use in the game, so if you've been hoarding those resources, you should be able to grab quite a few of the new cards this month. Here's a closer look at everything you can expect this month.

• Game start: Add Captain America's shield to a random location
• Ongoing: You can move Cap's shield once per turn

Ongoing: Give Captain America +2 power when it moves to his location, can't be destroyed.

Ongoing: The on reveal abilities of your 1-cost cards here happen twice.

When your opponent ends a turn with unspent energy, draw a card with 10 or more power.

The first time this moves, add a card from your hand to the old location.

Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power.

When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.

Ongoing: Your opponent's cards that didn't start in their deck cost one more.

On reveal: Steal one power from each other card here.

Starting February 18, Marvel Snap players can take part in the new Sanctum Showdown game mode. You'll earn points each turn for each location that you're winning. You'll get one point for each location you're in control of, while the zone marked as the "Sanctum" will be worth bonus points and moves after every turn. Snapping will add an extra bonus point to the Sanctum location and the first player to reach 16 points will win.

After each turn, give the highest-cost card(s) here +2 power.

Your cards here have +1 power for each Ongoing among them.
