Incredibly fun game, and definitely in my top 10 now. It's has so many levels of complexity that only better the experience as you learn.

Balatro is a unique and addictive roguelike deckbuilder that puts a fresh spin on poker mechanics. Instead of traditional gameplay, it blends poker hands with strategic card upgrades, multipliers, and wild cards, creating deep and rewarding decision-making. The game's minimalist yet stylish presentation, combined with its high replay value, makes it an instant hit for fans of strategy and deckbuilding. However, its reliance on randomness, steep difficulty curve, and potential balance issues may frustrate some players. Still, Balatro stands out as an innovative and engaging roguelike.
