Balatro (Steam/PS5/Xbox Series X/Switch)

[Dogg Thang]

Was doing great in this until I hit a boss that removed all my discards. Couldn’t possibly do a thing against that unless I got massively lucky on every single card drawn.

Am I right that you start from scratch each time? Nothing is carried over or accesible?

First run completed a short time ago! Red Deck/White Stake.

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to end, especially once I stacked up on the multipliers and remembered to pay attention to levelling up the hands.

21ZXQLRG is the seed if anybody wants to try my run for themselves (not that they're likely to find it tough if they've been playing for a while).

Welcome! It's the perfect game to play in between games!

QFT!

I've been stuck in a bit of a gaming rut recently (not knowing what to play/not having too much interest in finding time to game) but this has snapped me right out of it.

Even took my Switch to work this morning to play Balatro during the commute and I wasn't even doing that with Tetris 99!

Somehow only just found out about Balatro recently.

Downloaded the Switch version last night (why oh WHY is there no demo on the eShop like there is on Steam??).

Holy sh1t... I've not been addicted to a Switch game like this since Tetris 99! Was up until midnight playing this. Nowhere near completing a run though - are cash out amounts for blind wins always so low to begin with?
