Anyone else played Balatro yet?

Spent the last couple of hours playing this game and it felt like 20 minutes! It's a deck-building roguelike based around the rules of poker. The aim is to play hands to earn a certain number of chips, and between rounds you earn cash which can be used to buy Joker cards that can add multipliers and effects to your hands. So far it's really moreish!

Sounds like a card sharper simulator =) And nope, most of us either pew-pew in Eve Vanguard or build castles in Nightingale =)

Because of just about, I looked it up and asked my partner their thoughts. To my surprise they already have this game. I Decided to give it a shot , and although it is not my cup of tea I can see the appeal. I can see also how it could be moreish, collecting new cards, and putting a twist on a classic like poker by making it a deck builder/rogue like is an interesting idea. My partner told me that they primarily play on their commute to and from work on the Switch.
