About the game
Balatro is a poker-inspired roguelike deckbuilder about finding strong combinations and winning big. You play valid poker hands and pair them with Joker cards to build synergies, earning enough chips to beat each blind and work your way up to the boss blind and the final ante. Every card you pick up, every discard and every Joker can change the course of a run, and hidden bonus hands and decks turn up as you go. There are 150 Jokers with their own abilities and up to five variants each, 15 decks with different modifiers, plus Tarot cards that improve your playing cards, Planet cards that level up poker hands, Spectral cards and 32 Vouchers with permanent bonuses for the current run. The campaign has eight difficulty levels, and there are also challenge, daily and seeded runs. A detailed stats screen tracks your best hands and most used Jokers, all set to a synthwave soundtrack and hand-made pixel art with a CRT look.

I intentionally avoided this game because: 1.) I never cared to play/understand poker. 2.) I don't like gambling. Everything I heard about this game made me want to play it less. I was wrong. This game is simple, elegant, addictive, endlessly replayable, and barely has anything to do with actual poker. It's a simple game where you do the following: 1.) Play card hands to increase your score. Beat a level's specific score to win the level and earn money. (The game lists the card hands you can play in a menu that you can reference any time.) 2.) Spend winnings on upgrades and new cards which make winning future levels easier. That's it. Once it clicks, this game becomes as quintessential as Tetris. From a person who was initially skeptical about playing Balatro, I highly recommend it.

0-5 hours: Neat concept, pretty easy for a roguelike though 5-10 hours: Wow there are so many decks! Let's check them out 10-25 hours: Oh the stakes are what make this game hard, things just got interesting again 25-50 hours: Flush builds are bad? High card builds are good? 50+ hours: If I hold this planet card before opening the pack I'll have a 34% chance of hitting another Mercury so I can comfortably beat this blind without scoring too much to keep scaling my Green Joker, but if I sell it I can pick up this jumbo arcana pack which could be better long-term, or maybe I should risk doing nothing to try to get my econ going... let me check what tags are available, what's the boss blind, how much time do I want to spend on this run, what day of the week is it, wait was I supposed to pick up the kid, do I have a kid, do I have anything if I don't have Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo...
