Abstract

Balatro is a roguelike deckbuilder game that allows players to cheat at poker. Players start with a deck of 52 traditional playing cards and must draw eight cards each round to try to score enough chips to beat the dealer. The game offers various opportunities to improve hands, such as buying cards to level them up or using Tarot packs to add modifiers. Joker cards also add chaos and strategic choices to the game. Despite the inherent randomness of card draw, Balatro provides options for players to strategize and improve their chances of success. The game is visually striking and has a surreal aesthetic. It is highly praised and considered a triumph by reviewers. [Extracted from the article]
