Or at least, i beat ante 8 for the first time. Didnt get a chance to see if you can increase the difficulty further. I always feel like Im extremely good at these single player card games because I grew up on yugioh campaign games --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

You beat ante 8 on white stakes. There's seven more stakes (difficulties) above that, each one adding new restrictions on top of the previous ones. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Beating it with the no face card deck is fun, you get more consistent draws but lack the big numbers of face cards.
But there's a ton of variables that make the game last as far as difficulty goes. --- Sigs are for losers. ... Copied to Clipboard!

What I really need is this game on my iPhone.
i was so fucking cocky in the OP btw. This game can be hard as hell and Ive never moved past white stakes. kinda wish there was an option to strikeout some number of the different things youve unlocked. Sometimes I see a new Joker common got unlocked to the pool and I think well Ill probably never want that but it will be diluting how often I see the ones I do like --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

Okay, this game seems to be pretty fun but its definitely gonna kick my ass. With that being said, Ive only played for a few minutes so I dont really have a good understanding of the game as of now.

That deck really likes that bus stop card, right? Yup, you basically win if you get that one and a good multiplier. I think I won with Ride the Bus and the joker that gives you 5x after you've discarded 23 times or something like that. Error1355 posted...

Picked up the game because of this topic, and made it to Ante 10 on my 3rd or 4th run. I think I got lucky with a shop discount early on, allowing me to just load up on upgrades every visit

I've gotten to Ante 7 in my 3 hours or so with playing. I got pretty sloppy at the end of that run as I was watching a twitch stream while playing.
This is such a chill game. I put 90 min into my first play session in what felt like 25 minutes lol. One of them time erasing games for me. --- I'm a long, long way from giving up Call me old-fashioned, call me a fool ... Copied to Clipboard!

You basically need a lot of red seal cards and retrigger effects to hit the scientific notation scores. I only just beat Red-stakes difficulty after another 20+ attempts (most runs ending by Ante 3 due to lack of funds), so I can't even imagine getting a score that high.

I feel like one of the few people who isn't totally obsessed with this game
the moment-to-moment play is uninteresting (you usually just hard focus a single hand type and ignore everything else), the joker slots are so limited that it feels hard to actually make runs meaningfully different, and the required scores scale up so fast in endless mode that like 95% of jokers are just instantly worthless anyway --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!

I had a friend yesterday show me the game and while it's interesting that they were able to make a roguelike out of poker, you're not wrong in that 99% of the moment to moment gameplay is really just playing a less fun unstructured version of poker against nobody and hoping the randomness gets you the multipliers you need.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dc8bf444.jpg Yup, Madness carried me through an Orange Stake round to earn the last deck. I had the pants joker that adds Mult for playing Two Pair as an Eternal, then found an Odd Todd that was eternal by the end the Madness Xmult was like 12 and carried me.

. Really sad that Balatro and Luck to be a Landlord are banned in about a dozen countries because "gambling".
Luck to be a landlord was amazing. I really have despised poker/solitaire or whatever my entire life but I'm a huge sucker for roguelikes, so I'll have to try this one.

Yep it really becomes about getting good starting roles because you have very little power to influence with your own skill, and then sometimes you lose anyway because your discards just still aren't enough to pull out that hand you've leveled. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

Scuffed runs are definitely a thing at higher stakes where you can easily lose momentum, but Ive sometimes pulled out a win from what I thought was going to be a disaster. Sometimes you just gotta hold out as best you can, spend all your cash to keep your deck afloat, and see if youll be blessed with that perfect run-saving Joker.
Id love to have a mode where I could start with a Joker of my choice. Would add identity to a run, and make it more fun to build around. You get a taste of that in Challenge Mode and its really neat. I guess you could accomplish that somewhat with seeded runs but that takes effort to find out how to proc a specific joker early, and then it plays out basically the same every attempt. --- DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND ...

the higher stakes (though I haven't done every single one yet) are where I think most of the fun is, personally. At base stake level it's basically effortless to clear ante8 and nothing you do really matters unless you do extremely dumb stuff

It's possible to never get a chance to buy the re-roll voucher and still get the "you must sell a joker" final blind on the Jokerless challenge. IE you can do all the work and RNG grind only for the seed to be mathematically unwinnable, and you don't know until the last 5%.
