I have spent a good chunk of time on my steam deck with it :)Just got this yesterday on ps5 and it's addictive af, as soon as this comes out on mobile it's over
Help. The sun was up. Now it's almost up again.
This was my first day. What am I becoming?
I'm trying to unlock the Illusion voucher and is it a slog.
The only thing worse than not getting the Magic Trick voucher in a run is buying the voucher and then having no cards show up in the shop.
I even had three slots unlocked!
Maybe I'm forgetting something.that's basically what happens everytime with me, i get great jokers but the shop never gives me the things i need for these jokers/hands to work
like i get the joker that give mult with each cards above 52... then the game decide to not give a single card pack 5 ante in a row :(
It was my last unlock despite not being that difficult in theory.I'm trying to unlock the Illusion voucher and is it a slog.

nicely done :)
Thanks. I've been working on Jokerless for days now. Got close a few times, but the RNG just wasn't with me.
Jokerless didn't give me any issues.... Golden Needle on the other hand lol. I have only that and blast off left and I don't think any of my completed challenges took more than 3 tries. Most were done either on the first or second try.Thanks. I've been working on Jokerless for days now. Got close a few times, but the RNG just wasn't with me.
I assume you are playing on orange or gold and aren't playing on the experimental patch on PC?I think if I only have one complaint on harder runs, it's money. Like I get it, that is part of the challenge, but it does make it feel like a run is instantly doomed if you don't get some early skips or jokers that allow you to generate a bunch of money early on.
ONE. OF. USSSSSSS.Help. The sun was up. Now it's almost up again.

If so, I think it's a lot better in the patch that will eventually be coming to public. On PC that should be fairly soon, though to consoles, here's hoping it's this month but it will likely be sometime next month.
hmm... I usually don't have that much trouble with economy.I am on Experimental. On Plasma and Checkered Decks I'm at Purple Stake.
oof.I streamed Balatro with the Easy Allies today and we were scoring a couple billion easy, but then I messed up on stream and accidentally played a flush house and didn't trigger Card Sharp and we lost. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED. I let everyone down😔
105 hours in and I finally got Completionist done. Had Illusion and Glass Joker as my last unlocks. Illusion just wouldn't show up, so I forced a lot of voucher with Anaglyph deck, but still nothing... But I had Perkeo which copied hermit cards so if I just kept playing it had to show up eventually. Finally happened on ante 11.
Glass Joker I somehow lucked into? Had a nice run with DNA, red seal wild cards and Ancient Joker. In Endless I finally decided to glass one of my cards and literally the next shop reroll had Glass Joker.
Time to focus on Gold Stake now.
On Gold? It's still impossible to win without major multiX stuff.It's my favorite deck lol I love getting the +300 chip joker and never worrying about anything ever again
The amount of times I've forgotten to play 5 cards during that "must play 5 cards" boss and lose by like 1000 points is not a low number :(oof.
First off, awesome job on the fun sounding stream.
second, yeah it sucks when you accidently do a flush house or a flush five when you aren't aiming for those. I've accidently done a normal flush on a high card build with splash before too and when you have a level 30+ high card and a level 1 flush it can hurt a lot lol.
I feel this.Almost 100 hours and I have mixed feelings. There's a lot of cool things about this game but the RNG is just too much. I'm just getting addicted to a game that doesn't respect my time.
A lot of people get stuck at the black deck. It's the deck that if you are mostly just going after good jokers instead of using all of the mechanics that you will start struggling a lot. There are lots of little things to do that help improve your odds of winning, the most commonly overlooked ones are*reads all these other decks*
And I seem to be stuck in Black Deck.
I will say that while there is plenty of RNG there are plenty of ways to reduce the effects of that RNG as well, especially on lower stakes. It's part of the reason why I find Balatro so interesting since there are so many different routes to victory and at white stakes a nearly 100% win percentage is possible.Almost 100 hours and I have mixed feelings.

>_> <_<
Don't get me wrong, flushes can result in a great run. They just won't result in a great run every time.
It doesn't look like you have enough scoring jokers. Superposition doesn't help, Golden Joker doesn't help, the all red one (I forget the name) doesn't help, splash may help but it's minor. You seem to only have three active scoring jokers and considering your only goal is to beat Ante 8, probably should have sold the non-scoring jokers off in a fire sale prior to the boss and tried to find any additional help you could in the shop.
This is the furthest I've ever gotten. Do I have a chance? 300,000 seems daunting

But I hope you made it!
The RNG in those games is never as much as we want to believe. We're just not as good as we think we are. People think A20 in STS is hard and you need a bit of luck. Meanwhile Lifecoach does 38 in a row without losing. And he was doing it in balatro too at gold stackes like a week after release and was a on a decent streak.Almost 100 hours and I have mixed feelings.

depends on your platform, but regardless the answer is, we don't know.when is the patch coming out? I just can't beat orange stake, it's been so long... I always get the worst luck
Yeah, I'm definitely not very good but I got almost all the cards and coupons, only 4 jokers left. I'm stuck on golden stake. I'm just kinda frustrated but I had a lot of fun so far. I think the game will get more balanced, it's still very early. I just needed to vent a little. StS is one of my favorite games btw.The RNG in those games is never as much as we want to believe.

The Stuntman loves to throw plasma around :PI've come back to the game after my retirement, as usual, lol.
On my first game, I finally managed to beat Blue Stake and unlocked the very sexy Plasma Deck. I'm back in the pro leagues, baby!
Bought the game today just beat the big boss I think the 300k blind,got a weird build going that was kinda fool proof but not capable of much above a couple 100k.
I got to wheel of fortune and a skip reward that made a joker in store holo or whatever so I ended up, with 4 special jokers 2 for +10 mult and 2 for +50 score. So no matter what I played I getting solid scores. The jokers themselves were (splash? Makes all card played add to score.)( 40 score per unused discard)(time 1 multi per empty joker slot)(12 multi for three of kinds)
So I was basically just playing 5 cards high card till I could play a three of kind focusing on face card. That alone could beat all but the final boss pretty much. Got lucky with the 1.5x multiplier per king in hand joker as I had alot of kings to make it through the final ante.
Think that was my 4th run in total.
The Stuntman loves to throw plasma around :P
also welcome back again :P
Yeah the extra effects on the jokers can add up.
As with all new players I will just make sure to mention that you want to put any xmult jokers (your one that was 1 multi per empty joker slot) at the end of your jokers, as you can rearrange them and they trigger from left to right so you want to multiply at the end.
