Uh, but, uh, I have been playing a game that I played a fair bit of a few years ago and then, uh, walked away from and have gotten back into.
I am playing a lot of Marvel Snap, which, uh, mostly been playing on mobile, but it's also on Steam and elsewhere.
If you like currencies, you wouldn't believe the number of currencies this game has.
No, I'm telling you, like, if you were willing to spend a little bit of money, you could really have fun with this game.
It's got a lot of fun Marvel theming, and as someone who's never really played other deck builders, it feels incredibly novel to me.
I'm sure that every trick it's using is a trick that, you know, Hearthstone and a million other computer [chuckles] you know, deck-building games have already used and, and perfected, uh, just with a coat of Marvel stuff on top of it.
But I will say in the world of free-to-play mobile games, they've actually created a framework that works relatively well without being pay to win, which I respect that.
Like, I'm able to compete pretty well with a deck that was barely in the meta three or four years ago and, uh, still come back in with people who have several years of new card pulls on top of me and, and still win a decent number of my, uh, my hands.
