Balatro is the new solitaire for me

Been seeing some hype on that. Worth?

I've already sunk 74 hours into it and is my new nighttime treat.

Rougelike with poker hands (flush, straight, pair, etc.). Joker cards modify rules (extra chips or multipliers for certain cards) and tarot cards modify the deck (ie. remove, copy, modify cards).

Score requirement goes up each round trying to beat at least 8 rounds to "win". Playing a couple rounds goes quick and it's easy to pause when you need to step away.

Progression with new decks unlocked, new joker cards, and challenges.

Cheers for the write up! Might have to give that a gander.

Playing Balatro, it always feels like the ultimate goal is to use multipliers in a way the dev didn’t intend and completely break the score counter.

If that sounds as appealing to you as it does to me, you’re gonna love it.
