Fun fact about Balatro, some Casino's were trying to buy out the patent from the creator to implement in their own casino games. But the creator of Balatro doesn't want to. He has gone so far to prevent Casino's from replicating or ever getting this patent that he put his own will that even if he dies they aren't even allowed to buy it out or replicate it because of how addicting the game is itself. It just gives so much respect to the creator.

Balatro was genuinely an unexpected but fun experience

@LazyCatIsFat

I originally saw Balatro and went "eh, not a big fan of card games."
But then it picked it up during the fall sale and got hooked immediately.
And then I bought it for my phone, because being away from my computer, unable to play Balatro, made me so anxious. I was legit going through Balatro withdrawal.

@oywiththewaywardtardis

I first heard about Balatro from a buddy at work at the beginning of last summer. His exact words were “This game will ruin your life.” I laughed him off and told him I’d look into it sometime. A couple months later on a day off I saw it in the Apple Arcade and downloaded it. Back to work two days later I walked to his desk and said. “You were right. I have no space in my brain for anything that isn’t Balatro .” And he nodded knowingly at me. 🤣🤣🤣

Love seeing Balatro explode in popularity. Been playing since it released and it deserves all the praise it's getting

@franklinturtleton6525

Honestly if everyone played Balatro for 1 hour it would win GOTY no contest.

@the-homosaur

I liked Balatro but having it on phones was really the thing that made me understand it. It’s a fun game at its core but being able to instantly dip in and out of it truly unlocks its greatness. You can easily play for 3 minutes or two hours.

@Crypticat

dude i got balatro on mobile and i literally played only balatro for 3 days straight, no other games, just balatro, i heard it was addicting but i didn't believe it, it's SO addictive

@phantom7958

I tried this because I wanna mock it winning against AAA games.

Now I'm playing it for 3 days straight

@Ani_HQ

I felt it when he said "I understand it now" 🗣🗣🔥 🔥🔥

@LelloDalamiq

My friends talked about it for 3 months. I bought it for my new phone. I put down my PC games to play it for five days straight. And when I was done, I got it for my Steam Deck and gave it to my mum. 

She was hooked within minutes.

Balatro is THE SECOND COMING OF SOLITAIRE.

Balatro: goes to the too addictive and simple games jail
Factorio: "First time?"

@TheKingOfRuckus

"Souls-like Sudoku" sounds fire😂

@niqsy6116

Indie game gotta have the most intriguing and complicated mechanics ever made, and that's what makes hardcore gamers addicted to it, they wants to conquer it and be able to fully understand the game

@Netherwolf6100

How a gambling addiction begins. It all starts with Math!

@jupicro

The first few times I played it, I genuinely ended up dreaming about playing Balatro 😅

@ejs_ethan

Never played it, but heard incredible things about it. From what I've heard, the creator also said they will not be allowing slot machine companies to make machines based on the game, because of the danges that can come with gambling. So baller move on their part

@eonix84

I can't hear the word " I understand it now " without thinking about lethal shooter😭😭😭

@ImKibitz

Got it on my phone then it was over for me

@iriquoispliskin7185

Balatro is cursed. I picked it up for shits and giggles and sometimes I dream about getting a good hand to play.
