Balatro is the Poker game that never ends,
because even if you lose, you're gonna pick right back up and go again.

This simple, solo game of cards has to be twisted and manipulated so that you can reach the higher and higher scores demanded of you. Using a mixture of the various Tarot cards, the stat-boosting Planet cards, and the game-changing 100+ Jokers at your disposal, you're going to have to craft a run to defeat a myriad of tough bosses. Every run is completely fresh, and there's 15 decks with 8 levels of Difficulty, and 20 Challenge levels, so the fun will go on and on and on and on...

Balatro is full of presentation from the beautiful pixel card art, to the constantly changing swirling background, to the adaptive music that is always fresh despite the fact there's only a single song. The game is more than another addictive card game, it bleeds quality and love. But on that note, it's still one of the most addicting games on the store, and once you have it, it's gonna be on your mind for a while.
