Uuuuugh I'm trying to get the "have $400" joker and am just not getting the starts, what's the best deck to use, checkered for the easy flushes, blue for the +1 hand that translates to +1 dollar early on, or the yellow for just the money?

lol Polychrome To-Do List starting on.....a Straight Flush.

Game is really shovin' it up my tail pipe tonight.

I think to do list should rarely require a 5 flush or flush house, just to gently caress with people.

I really think there should be a voucher that lets you destroy cards in the shop for a small fee.

Balatro also has the right amount of weird art and music to be compelling, I'd buy it every time over something that looks like a bad horse game.

That game does have strong horse/“elsa gets a root canal” energy

Finally got $400, it took too the moon, rocket, both extra antes and some luck with arcanas. I am still very bad at this game.

Got dealt a flush five for the first time on the last hand of the final boss, forgot I was running card sharp, rip.

I assume it's because Bloodstone gives a 1 in 3 chance to give a 2x multiplier.

The equivalent jokers for other suits aren't quite as strong.

I need the all sixes joker to make that consistent, it always lets me down in the end.

aaaaaaa I just need the stone joker and I've filled out my joker collection. I saw it once when I was spam rerolling, but muscle memory clicked it away.

Complaining works, now all I need is an orange stake victory to complete my collection entirely.

So this whole time I thought Campfire required me to sell a Joker to upgrade it but today I spent more time looking properly at the description, realising it takes any card sold and



Definitely seeing the synergy with the card cloning legendary.

Everyone loves checkered deck and abandoned deck but don't sleep on the erratic deck. Occasionally you get a mostly vanilla dud deck but you routinely wind up with 8-10+ of the same number, it's a blast being able to shoot for 3-4 of a kind right out of the gate.

Of course, straights might as well not exist, that's all abandoned deck.

I want the erratic deck, but purple stake hates me, so I can't even fail at orange stake yet.

Turns out that 'play only one hand' means one hand in total, not one *type* of hand. Wasn't going to win anyway because no x-mult was coming up, but still an annoying way to lose. And I had a joker to disable the boss blind.

Do note that there is one that is "play only one TYPE of hand" also, don't get them confused like I do.

Just cleared purple on checkered, now I need to clear orange and I have all unlocks. Oof was purple hard and now I gotta deal with scaling costs?

Yeah the early game is good but the switch to mult can get real rough.

Finally beat orange stake, of course it took checkered deck + smeared joker + ancient joker so it kinda autopiloted itself to ante 8, but I'm taking the win.

New best run on white stake/yellow deck: a deck consisting entirely of queens of hearts, half steel and half glass. Two triboulets doubling multiplier for every queen I play for x32 each, campfire with a stupid economy for x6-10, a polychrome family for x6, and a steel joker for x4.5. And it still died to the first blind of ante 14, getting 9.3e11 with an optimal hand out of 2.9e13 needed and ending at a mere 2e12. I think to take it further I would have needed mime and/or seltzer bottle and/or red seals... Still, at least I got the ROI and flushed achievements at the same time.

$400 should eventually come naturally; at some point you'll have Rocket and Bull become a self-sustaining engine if you can feed it mult and xmult in the other three slots plus hand level, and if everything comes together by round 6 or so you can get even from $0 to $400 by the time it taps out. I think mine ended up with Baseball Card, Ramen, and Constellation on Nebula, with real basic stuff like Green Joker and Odd Todd filling in in the early game before I saw enough Plutos and Mercuries.

Also Anaglyph deck until you can cash in on a mega cash tag is how I got it

10-14: Blue Joker, Card Sharp, Ride the Bus, Abstract Joker, Baseball Card

Glad to answer any questions~
