So, the question on everyone's lips at the moment is, "can you play against friends in Marvel Snap?" It seems like an online multiplayer mode, and a friends list would be a staple of such a community-driven and portable game. Let's take a look at whether it is possible to battle against friends in Marvel Snap.

Can You Play Against Friends In Marvel Snap?

Yes, you can now play against friends in Marvel Snap! The friendly mode went live on 31 January 2023, and players can use a generated code to play against other people. 

This feature does not come with any kind of friend list and will involve players sharing codes in order to connect with each other. Rather than wagering cubes, each player will have a health bar. Snapping will increase the number of hit points deducted from your opponent if they lose. Matches are said to consist of three games or until someone's life total hits zero. 

It should be added that during these three games, players cannot switch their decks around. This adds an entirely new level of strategy in mind games, as from the second game onwards, you will know your opponent's strategy and what cards to look out for.
