These booster packs feel way better. I assume this means the decks with the free planet and tarots are out tho.

oh that twitch thing is going on.

wonder how the key giveaway thing would work, could i time it to just jump in the twitch of whoever is in the lead in the last second and get lucky and grab a key? i dunno how twitch works.

the planet cards that upgrade stuff like five of a kinds in the demo are new right? fan of that change if so.

game really just scratches the same itch in my head of tiny rogues or something, broken build simulator, but way more relaxing cause its just cards B)

they both feel good to me though yeah you can easily get screwed by rng, more so the tag one than tarot. tarot seems good for like quickly getting your deck off the ground. but you run out of the initial resource pretty quick, but the crystal ball is a nice bonus on top.

double tags can end up pretty feast or famine but you can really gorge your self when its feast. double packs can be really good, especially if you get a spectral.

This demo in particular feels very well tune in a way I don't enjoy? I mean I don't expect the game to show off all decks and cards for the demo of course but as someone who played the previous ones all the stuff in it feels like its pointing you in the direction of a few different strategies. Which is probably good for people whose first experience with Balatro is this demo but, I dunno.

Well whatever whenever the complete game comes out its going to be the game of the century and we are going to start talking about video games in post and pre Balatro terms.

This blind's description isnt clear enough. Everyone has this initial reaction including me. It only gives you face down cards after you play a hand not after you discard, so you can discard face downs and get face ups.

i didn't had that reaction because i am smart and read carefully, teehee

Yeah you can totally just force through flush decks even if you are built around the one they are targeting with the right set of jokers.

if you have a lot of stuff that triggers if held at the end of the round you often find yourself wanting to play less than five cards.

please help me uncover this deep lore

the balatro wiki says that the driver's license has the name "jeb joker" and has this image to go with it


it makes no mention of any other name, nor have i seen anyone else talk about this.


HOWEVER

in my game her name is CLEARLY "jen joker"


you have been asking too many questions. the allegiance of jokers is sending someone over. leave your front door unlocked, it will be a friendly chat.

A joker that lets you reroll those types of jokers would be interesting.
