Balatro 1.1 will include new jokers plus a revamp of a really confusing existing one

The boss blind ability trigger joker for money.

I've played it way more but actually totally agree. I beat all the difficulties and unlocked probably 80% of content, but I've probably got less than 50 hours in it.

sts getting a phone version created like an entire month for me where I didn't play anything else lol. idk how many sts runs I've done but I'm scared to look

So the core is very much video poker, in that you make poker hands and score points. The twist is that you can dramatically modify your deck as the run goes on. It's kind of hard to describe, but things like my king is now worth 50 points, multiplies my score by 5, and I've cloned it enough to make fictional hands like flush house, or five of a kind.

Jokers have unique effects that can modify the deck, give additional score, change the rules of the game, that kind of thing.

It's quite fun and challenging, I highly recommend it.

The jokers are what makes the game fun. You should try it. It’s a kind of video poker though.

Yeah that’s what I thought too. Until you try it. It’s like meth after that.

Poker is just the underlying mechanism. It could be any RNG that makes patterns that match against other patterns.

Literally not an ounce of gambling in this game.
