About the game
Gear up, soldier! If you're already a fan of G.I. Joe Mission Critical, get ready to give your combat squad a massive upgrade. Retro Snake Eyes isn't just another character on the table; he's a nostalgic powerhouse that brings a completely different vibe compared to the standard Snake Eyes found in the base game. While the original is already top-tier, this 'Retro' version arrives with a legendary command ability that can turn the tide of a desperate battle.

Here is how it works: once per battle, if any of your heroes rolls two or more '0' results during an attack, Snake Eyes steps up. He allows you to deal 3 direct damage to any enemy card of your choice. It's exactly the kind of ability that saves the squad when the dice decide not to cooperate!

Keep in mind that, like any good expansion, you'll need the G.I. Joe Mission Critical base game to bring this combat master to the battlefield. It's a quick, thematic addition that adds an extra layer of strategy for those looking to dominate the battlefield with a classic legend. If you're looking for tactical variety and want to see Snake Eyes shine in a new way, this is your mission!
