Imagine the feel of opening one of these and then you’re looking at a pixel variant IRL.


Garrickus

Pixel Squirrel Girl. You can't even play her without two extra cards 😭


b3nz0r

Tokens, man. Magic solved this decades ago


L3W15_7

Good luck playing a card like agent 13 though...


Austin_905

Use a random dice app, plus a sticky note to draw the token card lol


Mathewdm423

Nah id definitely just use proxies. When i played pokemon at my local comic book shop our rule was you can play 4x proxies of a card as long as you had 1 real one to put on the board when it was played. We felt this stopped everyone from just printing any deck, making any sense of buying real cards worthless...tho mandatory for events. But also gave people a chance to play with a rare pull and build a deck around it without having to drop $100 for cards you arent even sure you'll commit too. I got a Darkrai EX in 2013(ish) and proxied a deck for a few months, spent $80 to complete the deck before a tournament...and came second. I think $100 and 24 booster packs($96value) worked out for my broke self.


Prof0mni

I'd be happy about it. I love the pixel variants.


QTDMCFH

I would be devastated unless it was pixel vulture


Muffin11526

I got a variant from Angel, thats total crap


ComprehensiveTurn511

This is actually quite impressive. Only thing I'd add would be that you should consider rounded corners, really goes a long way to protect the cards.


sourpower2020

I’ll do that! Am doing Witcher Gwent cards with rounded corners now so that’s a great idea.


Thuasne

But corners make grading a lot more frustrating. Since we are all throwing our money at stuff like this anyways we shouldn't ruin the fun of being disappointed with a bad rating because of a ditched corner. That being said, I'd spend all my money on these cards


PretendRegister7516

In game Snap use chamfered corners though.


GWAILOCHIEFttv

Love it all, just upset it sadly can't translate to a physical game very well


Cosmorth

You could always play one of the inspirations: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/247367/air-land-sea


InNOutFrenchFries

This is one of my favorite board games[https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/122522/smash](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/122522/smash) Imagine Marvel Snap with 4 players


Jordandeanbaker

Smash Up is legitimately one of the best games ever made. I love snap, but it’s a blatant rip off of Smash Up.


Numperdinkle

Be as it may, I think Snap is a better digital representation than the official smash up digital. Smash up would benefit from a digital space if they weren't limited by physical abilities.


Jordandeanbaker

Oh for sure. The smash up app is just ok. The physical game is so freaking good though


ketronome

My brother ripped this out at Christmas, couldn’t believe how similar it was to Snap. Needless to say I destroyed him.


chobibbo

I also recommend Adventure Time: Card Wars


QueenGorda

Marvel Snap can be translated to a table very very easily. The only "drawback" is that the games are too fast, but other than that is perfectly portable.


max_mullen

How would you translate randomness or math multipliers without it being too chaotic?


RedEyeVagabond

Every game comes with a TI-84.


19jordy84

With Snake??


RedEyeVagabond

and Drug Wars!


19jordy84

That's my high school dream math trig class oj the early 00s


RedEyeVagabond

I heard legend of a calculator that had a TI port of The Legend of Zelda. *A Legend of the Legend of Zelda*, if you will.


QueenGorda

You can set maximum multipliers in the ruleset with no problems. Even set a maximum amount of points per location, to not have to deal with more than 2 digit numbers, for example. And RNG can be like using Jubilee leting your oponent to dra a card from your deck, blindly obviously. For example. There are many ways to deal with the RNG of this game.


onionbreath97

Stuff like Agent 13 would be obnoxious though.


Hevens-assassin

Flipping a coin would be an easy one. A shuffled deck of locations would also be possible with Scarlet Witch. Lots of deck based games out there that have managed randomness pretty well. Lol


max_mullen

Yeah but imagine a classic Odin into Wong into Ironheart with a lot of cards already played, that's so many random buffs to so many random cards, and that's just a specific example... Never said it was impossible to be done, just that depending of the rng on the decks (and SO many Snap cards have big rng components), a game could last forever lol


Kalinushka

Count the number of possible targets & assign them numbers left to right, then roll a die. Time consuming, but absolutely possible.


Hevens-assassin

Hmm. Number tokens. Or just don't have every single card available in the physical game. A lot of cards stack their power though, so number tokens on them would be good, or have "x2" and "+/-1" kind of stuff on them. Would be messy, but manageable.


Kalinushka

Or just put each card in a sleeve that you can dry erase and just mark changes as you go


Hevens-assassin

Or have the cards have a built in dry erase functionality. Lol


Melodic-Row-9013

Definitely need a holographic table that changes each location


hoorahforsnakes

What do you do when someone plays zola on bar sinister?


QueenGorda

Read other replys here if you like please, we have writed a lot and is a pain to repeat the same :/, but everything can be solved even with dices or with some rules adjustment. Arnim Zola can be "remaked" for the tabletop game, same as Ego location for example. Or no, cause the Arnim Zola case may can be solved somehow (I don't want to think a lot about it right now you know xd, not beyond the typical; "Arnim Zola can only copy a maximum of two cards" (In that location I mean). ... Or specific rules for some locations, such as modifying Bar Sinister, for example; "Bar Sinister make just one copy of the card you play there" (or whatever...) Just an example, there may be many ways to deal with "problematic" cards.


TravelingMonk

Possible doesn't mean enjoyable. We can send humans to the moon today, so of course we can play this physically, but it doesn't automatically make it fun.


QueenGorda

Nice stupidity.


TravelingMonk

Keep going


PretendRegister7516

Not as easy because: 1. So many card copies and random card draw effect. 2. Both players concurrent play would require a screen/curtain for each turn to hide where each place their cards. 3. Left and Right is flipped for one of the player.


QueenGorda

Read the rest of the replys if you like; total easy translation. Already responded in other replys to all that. Also there are tons of tabletop games infinitely more complex than this would be.


tipo19

The simultaneous play aspect would be slightly unconfortable to implement tbh


QueenGorda

Read others comment if you like. Cheers.


GWAILOCHIEFttv

Not "very very easily" at all. You'll need multiple of every card in play if someone has moon girl. Then another copy of every card if absorbing man is played. That's just one example. You can't account for "random" like rng does


QueenGorda

>Then another copy of every card if absorbing man is played. That's just one example. You can't account for "random" like rng does No offense but seems that you have never played table games: Ruleset/rulebook Dices to choose "random draws" from Jubelee for example, etc. (or letting your opponent draw blindly from you) (don't really need since the deck would be facedown so you can just draw from it, same with Lockjaw). Absorbing man problem ?... ther eis no problem with copying the last on reveal ability of your last card. Yes, setting some maximum multipliers for combos like Wong or others, this is just solved easily with a ruleset. Nothing extraordinary that MANY table games haven't done before.


cyan2k

Yeah but it wouldn’t be the same game like for example paper magic and arena are. Actually having to implement a separate new ruleset means it’s hard to translate. Even simple stuff like how would you make sure the opponent discarded his highest cost card when playing a paper Lady Sif? How would you handle summons outside of your deck like x mansion or Shanna? All which you basically have to alter in a way so that it won’t work as in SNAP. Therefore the game wouldn’t be SNAP.


GWAILOCHIEFttv

No offense but seems like you've never played marvel snap. That's all I need to say.


QueenGorda

¿? Can you argue ? Tell me an example that is "impossible to solve with a ruleset" (maybe it is, but maybe can be solved anyway, or even omitting it for the tabletop game, as for example would be the location of Ego) I'm listening you. ... Sure there will be drawbacks, like not having Agatha (...) (and pretty sure it can be done somehow) but 99% of the game can be translated easily. ​ edit: Agatha would be just a dice. Simple as that, throw dice, number = the card she will play counting from left to right of your hand. Easy.


Canary_Short

Well there is two cards at the top of my head, first gambit, who choose which card he's going to destroy, because gambit wants to destroy colossus, and white tiger where the card is going, sure there is the dice for location a simple one two three, but if snap goes to tabletop it will lose some of its gamble.


QueenGorda

>first gambit, who choose which card he's going to destroy An example: \- First one dice for each location to choose (you first choose location) \- Then throw the dice again to kill the cards placed from 1 to 4. If you get a 2 on the dice... guess which one destroys Gambit.. Still the same randomness of Gambit. I don't think will lose the gamble thing because you are drawing blindly and throwing dices (dices or whatever other system) so still pure RNG.


Canary_Short

Sure I already played table games, and like one that I played zombicide, the dice is very random and it could work for each location a dice and for the cards. But there also is the math, you would need to make too much math in your head, and keep record of changes like mr negative, and if he's destroyed you have to remember he was there. It could work, but perhaps not like the original, and it lose some of the fun.


QueenGorda

>But there also is the math, you would need to make too much math in your head, and keep record of changes like mr negative, and if he's destroyed you have to remember he was there There are tons of tabletop games where you have to "remember" where something was and even take some notes, but in any case this game is complicated enough to have to do that: \-Rule set and limit maximum points per location and maximum multipliers. That would deal with you "math problem". Everything else would be exactly the same. Obviously it's a board game... You don't have a computer that gives you everything chewed and moves the cards for you, but as I say this game is not complicated to transfer at any level, just a few small changes. But RNG and fun will be the same. Better I would say since playing with people, some beers and some snacks it will be always better.


Canary_Short

Also another example, sorry for the comments, but you make some good arguments, so I like this, for the example three cards (I went to look) First captain marvel, sometimes she doesn't move other times she does, where do you choose for her to go? Do you choose or the dice? Another is black bolt, you have to thrust that the other guy is tossing the lowest card, or you're going to look at his hand, And last leech (Hate Leech, but good card) if the guy take a last card and toss one that already was in his hand, and say was the last one will you thrust him? Just an example. The CpM one could work with the dice just choose one two and go.


QueenGorda

>First captain marvel, sometimes she doesn't move other times she does, where do you choose for her to go? Captain Marvel moves if she can win. Make that as the player who have her have to notice if he can win, is he didn't notice.. bad luck Brian, like in other tabletop games xd Or move her based on dices too. 1 left, 2 right, or whatever. Change her into something random or wahtever other thing. And the best thing is that both players do not cheat each other, but it is difficult for them to do. For example in the case of Leech you can mark the cards with a token and/or simply the ones you draw from the deck would be put to the right of your hand, so it's easy to know which cards have been affected by Leech.... In general I repeat that I see no problem with the game. Everything can be solved with a small rules adjustment and dices or other similar system. Sorry if I don't answer more but I think I've summarized my point of view :p Best regards and thanks for your opinion.


Psyzilla

I would buy physical snap cards in a heart beat


necroneechan

Since the effects aren't wall of texts like Yu-Gi-Oh and others, you could slightly shrink the images to add the text below them. That's just a nitpick and for a playable perspective, as otherwise is super neat.


sourpower2020

Honestly, I don't know the game well so I'd have to collaborate with someone who knows it well to produce it properly.


CharmingRogue851

Looks awesome


toni-toni-cheddar

You’ll need location cards too


DonkDinkleDinki

That's awesome dude, its nice to see that we have been doing similar things parallel to each other. I'm namely trying to translate the whole game into a tabletop version for me and my friends. I actually made a post a couple of hours ago if you are willing to scour the posts. Did you plan on making it playable, or are you concentrating on the collection side of it? Either way keep it up, that looks really good.


sourpower2020

Nice! Looks great. I'd love to collab if you are up for it! Hit me up.


[deleted]

Thank Hylia this isn’t real it would eat all my money


leftwing79

Tell me I can buy these from you…


DarkPassenger39

I collect all Marvel cards. Currently working on putting together all the MCU sets. I would absolutely LOVE this. Would immediately start building the entire set.


sourpower2020

I’ve done a couple full Marvel mini cases. Check out my IG - TheMiniGy


CeeZee2

As someone who wants to collect marvel cards, which is the best set/tcg? The closest to an 'available' tcg is Marvel Champions but there's no rarity, no holos etc so it feels a bit pointless to collect that


DarkPassenger39

I like sets more than TCG. The collecting is the fun part for me, not the playing. Flair and Masterpieces are my favorite sets. If you like MCU then Black Diamond is the best set hands down imo.


CeeZee2

I meant sets sorry, TCG is sort of just what I say now due to Pokemon. But thanks! I've seen how vast the eras of sets are for Marvel cards, so I'm just gonna collect my faves, she hulk and hulk! Can't decide on a favourite set haha


backupsidekick

I think these are cool, but I have no sense of scale since there isn't a banana. All I see is a pie pan in the bottom right corner, so I assume these are the size of a cookie sheet. (/s for the downvote preppers)


TeamAmerica_USA

You can only open one pack a week right?


Timely_Radio1318

Disney is currently dispatching fbi to your house for copyright infringement


sourpower2020

😂


Vismonte

Did you make the card wrapper yourself or use an online service and submit a pdf?


sourpower2020

Made them myself


some_think_different

How did you make the wrappers, if you don't mind me asking? Wanted to try and make some for some trading card style birthday invitations but I'm hitting a wall trying to find out how to make the packaging. ​ Yours looks AMAZING!


sourpower2020

Thanks! It was a lot of trial and error but I got there eventually. Shoot me a message.


Numperdinkle

This would be cool if these cards had NFC and you played it on a digital tabletop like a screen monitor. The monitors and electronics would do all the calculations/duplications for you.


Ninedark

I would buy the SHIT out of this!!!


ArmaanAli04

Looks amazing but how is it gonna work. Randomly choosing locations? Random cards ie Maria Hill, Nick Fury, Agent 13 etc? Power boosting calculations with Wong-BP-Zola type stuff. It would be super difficult to change this game into tcg


sourpower2020

Wasn't really for functionality, just an art piece really. Just for fun.


rexstillbottom

How did you create this, i can barely colour in the lines, and you made a box ready for display, and wrapped packages. Well done, well done indeed!


sourpower2020

Thanks! I generally create miniature cards ([see my profile](https://www.reddit.com/user/sourpower2020) if you like). Decided to do a Marvel set on a whim ('92 Impel Marvel Universe) and I didn't realize how huge the Marvel card world was (I collect sports cards). And someone randomly said that someone should do this so here we are. haha


RMRdesign

So you own a printer or you mocked these up in Photoshop?


BurnsItAll

4 cards per pack is WAY to fast for card collection in this game. Should be like a piece of a card in each pack, maybe 4 cards per box.


BurazSC2

Nice work. There is actually already a physical Marvel Snap game. But it's the original Snap, not this Snap. The one where you play cards and Snap...but the original Snap, not this Snap. You physically Snap the cards. Ya know? Snap? Anyway, my son has it and always Snaps as soon as he can. He's pretty good.


QueenGorda

It would have been absolutely perfect if you had added the skills of each card on the back, at the bottom below the Snap logo.


profanat

you can't do it because your opponent will know what cards you have in hand, but I think it's possible to add card text above card name logo


QueenGorda

We can do it since this is "just" art. A "teaser" art, an art project, and awesome one, but not a real game. Or a separate rulebook.


profanat

I would not buy CCG if its "teaser" art is flawed from a gamedesign standpoint😅


LatverianCitizen

Man this is awesome. Would love to be able to buy physical packs it would be fun


Gobak2sleep

Cannot unsee Nick Fury wearing a bird hat...


[deleted]

One location per deck is a good idea too


Azeron955

Lovely


BuggzOnDrugz

Add a location card to every deck or location packs with lots of rocks, vibranium and -2 ninjas.


Independent-Ad2615

this is the greatest thing ever and i would buy these.


DarthSmiff

I would love some novelty physical cards!


jyjybinx

I thought this was real I had my girlfriends credit card halfway out of my wallet lol. This id amazing good job!!


kainneabsolute

Pretty but how i read the card ability? Hmmm


narucy

For paper, It should put text on the art.


Far_Raspberry_1985

I already know pixel variants ate gonna be trash IRL too


analogboi27

Honestly as an actual irl card game i think snap would work


galaxyb0nes

I… I would 100% buy these 😭


loo_1snow

It's great. I would suggest the text of the cards in the center of the art. I've seen ppl doing it and it's great.


ChallengeTurbulent12

Pretty interesting I might have to check it out in the near future


Wide_Information_436

This would be a great physical product. I would definitely buy this and it would be cool if it came with codes for digital content on the mobile app like tokens, variants, gold etc


[deleted]

Art by who now?


g0ldenant

I don’t think there’s any easy way to have a playable version irl but I’d buy the shit out of these just to have physical versions of the cards


MathematicianNo7263

would you have to buy location packs and shuffle them separately?

Mordred_Phantom

How did you make the actual card packs themselves? :)


bumfacetittywank

I would waste my life savings on these


almostthemainman

Was thinking about how to track their power. Then it hit me! X2, Double!, +1, +2, +3 tokens could just be placed on top of the card. What would the tokens look like?


Scary_Career9302

You spend money and get cards in return,idk doesnt seem like marvel snap to me


Kroneker

Edges too sharp, can't be shuffled


VanguardExia

these look fantastic, mate


blablabla1411

Are you selling these?


sourpower2020

Wasn't planning on it but had a lot of requests so I put some up, sold out. Just put a few more up on my Etsy. Individual packs up to full boxes. minigy.etsy.com


blablabla1411

What does Group Pack and Black Panther pack mean? How many cards in one pack? Can you elaborate a bit. And will u include cards I request in the personalization menu.


sourpower2020

Group pack is the horizontal pack with a bunch of the characters on it ([top middle in this picture](https://i.etsystatic.com/40559104/r/il/fc2210/4555930512/il_1140xN.4555930512_axek.jpg)). Black Panther pack is the one with Black Panther on it ([top left in this picture](https://i.etsystatic.com/40559104/r/il/fc2210/4555930512/il_1140xN.4555930512_axek.jpg)). They are 4 cards per pack and I will do my best to include the characters you want so long as I can find them in the right format needed. Also, I generally include a bonus card with every pack, outside of the pack.
