Balatro

Balatro is LocalThunk's poker roguelike: you stack Jokers, planet cards and tarot to clear each ante's blinds. Hands are poker hands, but multipliers break normal odds through glass, steel and wild suits. A run is shorter than a slot session; death resets the deck. Challenge list and daily runs are included. The 2024 release has no multiplayer and no turn timer. A 52-card base deck sits under Joker slots that fire left to right. Boss blinds tax a suit or repeated hands. Buy a Steam key and play the first hand right after activation.
