Games of 2022 continues with Marvel Snap, and the horrors of Hobgoblin
Games are good at moments of reflection - a very specific kind of reflection anyway. You might call it the"Well, That Didn't Work" Moment. In games we get do-overs, so when an approach isn't working, you get to rethink it. Rather than in real life, say, where I just try the same failed approach again but grumpier.
The funny thing is, I've always found deck building really overwhelming. In Hearthstone, for example, I never made a deck from scratch. I just slowly transformed old decks that didn't work into new decks that didn't work, a single card at a time, until the sheer amount of poor micro-decisions had riddled the whole thing, the way termites will undermine a house one tiny bite at a time.But with Marvel Snap - and something like Clash Royale - deck building is a legit part of the fun.
Example: my new favourite card is Hobgoblin, because Hobgoblin is literally the worst. 5 cost, -7 power, and the moment you play him,"your opponent gains control of this." You're basically flinging -7 into your enemy's house.
