Did you know that 99% of gamblers quit before they make it big?

Jokes aside (don't gamble, kids), Balatro is such a fun spin on the rougelite deckbuilding genre, its systems are easy to learn and not too hard to master, and the game is open to a variety of different viable strategies; the RNG obviously plays a big role even more so than in other roguelites because of the intrinsic nature of Poker, but Balatro strikes a nice balance of unpredictability and strategy, often letting the player making their chances better via Jokers and vouchers (game modifiers), even letting them peek at their deck as a base feature to see which cards remain you can still draw so that they can plan their next hand accordingly.

Sound effects are amazing, the sound of rustling cards, falling chips and the score sound effects really bring it all together, along with the colorful graphics, it's almost hypnotizing.
