    The fact that the developer of this game doesn't even play poker is brilliant. They just looked up the rules, and built their own unique game out of that, like a hermit crab finding a tuna can and making it his home.

Like, gambling as a concept plays off of lots of natural human impulses in a way that isn't inherently negative, except that it was developed under capitalism and therefore exists to make money. When you detach it from the capitalism bit, it can be loads of fun. Balatro, along with other casino-themed games, simply takes gambling, strips away the capitalism, and then cranks everything up to 11.

    Balatro is great because while skill is definitely involved, there's a much higher amount of luck is needed than a lot of roguelites. That would usually seem unfair and angering, but it's perfect for a roguelite based on gambling. Some runs you struggle to get by with full houses and flushes, while a pair of twos has the power of a nuke in others.

    Hey, it’s a game I’m actually really familiar with! I’d love to see some more of this; Dan’s barely scratched the surface of the insanity this game can be. He did manage to hit on a pretty strong strategy this run though.
    BTW, I think my best score was about 10 to the 32nd, and that run died on the 16th Ante. Give Endless a try, it scales fast. Also check out the collection tab, it explains the things the tutorial skips. It also hints at a few of the nuttier things you can do.
