The Apple App Store really is shocking sometimes. I saw “preorder on the App Store” in that trailer and searched for Balatro… finally found it about 15 results down, hidden after a load of obvious clones and shovelware.
(It’s £9.99 to preorder by the way)

Hey all I am struggling to beat the game on black level difficulty. I usually use the checkered deck for easy flushes but seem to hit an ante wall towards the end. Any advice on a better deck to use maybe?

September 17, 2024 - the day Balatro finally comes to retail.
Uly's copy arrives in the post soon after lunchtime.
Installation takes around one minute.
"I'll just mess about with it for a bit, to get a handle on how it all works, then I'll fire up Wild Hearts. Those kemono aren't going to hunt themselves!"
"Eh, one more run."
"One more."
"That one didn't count."
"Last one, for realsies this time."
"Okay, time to play some Wild Hearts. Wonder why I'm so hungry?"
"Wait - it's WHAT time?!"
Yeah, this game's a bit good.

I've picked this up on Switch again recently and just idly trying to get close to completing the collection. It's such a time vampire of a game... Think I'll play it safe and just not install the Android version when it comes out.

It still seems nutty to me that this game is rated 18 because it contains "simulated gambling", while EA's latest lootbox-riddled sports games are rated 3.
Nice work, PEGI! Way to see the wood for the trees!

When you're just trying to learn the game, unlock jokers, and win your first run, is there a "best" deck to use?

Blue is the best of the early ones because extra hands are incredibly valuable. Green is also pretty good as there's no downsides to spending money.
Checkered is probably the best for just casually figuring stuff out but you have to win with the black deck to get it, and black deck sucks ass.
