Balatro

Poker Roguelike, Risk, and Reward

Balatro is a deck-building roguelike game inspired by poker. You play with a standard 52-card deck, trying to beat increasingly difficult “blinds” by forming poker hands, managing discards, and spending coins to upgrade your deck. Every run is about balancing risk and reward, strategy and luck.

Game Features

Poker-Based Gameplay
Play rounds using classic poker hands. You have limited hands and discards to meet a points target in each blind.

Deck Modification & Jokers
Purchase modifiers and jokers between rounds to tailor your deck, gain special effects, or ease later blinds.

Escalating Challenge
Every blind gets harder, forcing you to adapt with better strategies, use upgrades wisely, and press your luck.

Varied Decks & Effects
Choose from different starter decks and passive cards that change how the game plays out each run.

Replayability & Addictive Loop
Tight runs, random rewards, and constant variety make every attempt feel fresh and rewarding.
