A new season of Marvel Snap, A Blink in Time, has arrived to PC and mobile devices, introducing five new cards, two extra locations, and extra additions for players to acquire throughout the season. While the previous season centered on Thunderbolts, A Blink in Time doesn’t have a specific tie-in for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, offering more of a range than limiting to what’s ultimately a small group in the greater Marvel universes.
