Balatro is a card building game that combines poker gameplay and Roguelike mechanics, providing unique strategic depth and high playability. Here are the main features of the game:

1. Roguelike deck building

At the beginning of each game, players choose a unique basic deck, each with different initial cards and effects.

By purchasing or upgrading cards, players can continuously strengthen their decks and create powerful combination strategies.

2. Poker hand-based combat mechanism

Players need to play hands that conform to classic poker rules (such as pairs, straights, flushes, etc.) to earn chips.

The stronger the card type, the more points and rewards you get, forming a unique "card type construction" gameplay.

3. Unique Joker Cards System

Joker cards are one of the core mechanisms of the game. Each Joker card has a unique buff effect, such as increasing the score of a specific card type, increasing the number of cards drawn, etc.

Players can purchase or upgrade Joker cards to create exclusive powerful combinations and improve their chances of passing levels.

4. Diverse boost card system

In addition to Joker cards, the game also includes special cards such as Tarot Cards and Planet Cards, which provide additional boosts and tactical options.

These cards can change the rules of the hand, provide additional rewards or strengthen specific card types, enhancing the strategy of the game.

5. Boss Blinds mechanism

The game is divided into multiple "Ante" stages, each with three challenges: Small Blind, Big Blind, and Boss Blind.

Boss Blind has special rules, such as disabling certain card types or limiting the number of times a card can be played. Players need to adjust their strategies according to the situation to increase the challenge.

6. Random Shop System

After winning chips through competitions, players can buy new cards, upgrade existing cards, or obtain additional boost props in the shop to further optimize the deck strategy.
