    Is this like Slay the Spire? I had a lot of fun with that rogue like deckbuilder for awhile.

      To add on to what the_gmg said, there’s a free demo of it on Steam that will give you a feel for it.

      Yes, but poker themed. ‘Combat’ is a round of poker themed solitaire with a point target. This is followed by an opportunity to spend money to upgrade your deck with fancy cards or modifiers. The point targets are constantly increasing, so you need to keep upgrading to complete a run.

      If you like Slay the Spire, I would definitely give Balatro a shot.

      Not really. It’s constant sudden-death; your run ends the moment you can’t beat an enemy in X turns. The turn limit is your health that resets per conflict. I greatly disliked this aspect of it.

      It’s best described as Yahtzee with poker hands using a mutated deck that could have missing cards, duplicate cards, insane multipliers, etc.
