Marvel Snap’s Developer Explains the Bizarre Inclusion of Ego, the Location That Randomly Plays Your Cards for You

Ever since the official release of Marvel Snap, fans have been using ego (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

In Marvel Snap, Ego controls and plays cards, effectively randomizing the outcome. The ego’s actions have no rhyme or reason. His movements are completely arbitrary. So why include the ego?

According to Second Dinner founder Ben Brode, who recently spoke with IGN at the launch of the Marvel Snap, Ego’s design was born out of a simple question.

“What would a sentient place do? Well, maybe it would play your cards for you. I don’t know,” says Broad. It was what we call down design, starting with the flavor and the art, then designing what it does, and then I couldn’t think of anything else for what Ego does.”

The ego becomes a change of pace. It’s an opportunity to have a laugh as you play your deck in the wild and often bring disaster. But that doesn’t mean the ego lacks strategy, Broad says.

“What’s really interesting in that place is actually a surprisingly skill test. Oddly enough, it’s obvious that you’re not making decisions in gameplay… But thanks to the snap mechanics, you’re like, ‘Okay, I have secret information.’ I can say, ‘I know where the ego has played cards. , you have to decide whether to snap, double, or retreat,” says Brode.

“So we put a lot of focus on how snaps work and it changes the game in a very interesting way. I think it’s very interesting. It’s a very unique place for sure.”
