We've got a new featured location in MARVEL SNAP and it's Bar Sinister!

Bar Sinister is a completely new location being added to MARVEL SNAP as part of the October Season: Symbiote Invasion. When you play a card to Bar Sinister, the Location fills with copies of it.

Bar Sinister is a great location to win with one big card, like Devil Dinosaur or Hulk, but it could also be a useful place to drop a card with an Ongoing effect that gives additional power to other cards or locations - for instance, Ka-Zar or Klaw.

If you're higher up on the Collection Ladder, you can try to juice a win with Captain Marvel or use Doctor Octopus to preempt your opponent's ability to fill Bar Sinister with copies of their own finisher.

However you choose to plan for the new location, you'd better get used to it; being a featured location means that Bar Sinister will have a 40% chance to appear for 48 hours, from 8 PM PT Tuesday night to 8 PM PT Thursday night.

What Are Featured Locations in MARVEL SNAP?

There are two different types of location events in MARVEL SNAP.

  • Sunday's Hot Location that will have a 60% chance to appear for the next 24 hours.
  • Wednesday's Featured Location that will have a 40% chance to appear for the next 48 hours.

This helps pave way for new deckbuilding strategies as you may want to be playing something else should the bonus better benefit cards you aren't playing with. For example, we've seen this previously with the featured location, Monster Island, whose boosted appearances meant many players ran Shang-Chi to destroy the 9 Power Monster.

As announced in the developer livestream, MARVEL SNAP will be getting a brand new location every week and it will be featured when it is added, as we're seeing now with Bar Sinister.
