Marvel Snap's Sanctum Showdown: A New Limited-Time Mode

Get ready for a thrilling new way to play Marvel Snap! Sanctum Showdown, a limited-time mode, introduces a fresh competitive experience with unique mechanics. Available until March 11th, this mode offers a fast-paced battle for supremacy.

Key Features:

  • First to 16 Points Wins: Forget the usual six-turn format. Victory goes to the first player reaching 16 points.
  • The Sanctum Location: This pivotal location awards the most points each turn, making it a key strategic target.
  • Dynamic Snapping: Starting on turn three, you can snap once per turn to boost the Sanctum's point value, creating constant shifts in momentum.
  • Scroll-Based Entry: Each match costs one Scroll, but winning earns you another. You begin with 12 Scrolls, replenishing by two every eight hours. Additional Scrolls can be purchased for 40 Gold.
  • Sorcerer Rank and Charms: Every match, win or lose, contributes to your Sorcerer Rank and earns you Charms. These Charms unlock cosmetics and new cards in the Sanctum Shop.
  • Restricted Cards and Locations: To ensure fair gameplay, certain cards and locations are banned, including those that manipulate final scores or enable overly dominant strategies. Cards like Captain Marvel and Dracula, and locations that interact with final scores are excluded. Debrii is also removed.
