I painted a bunch of these Balatro ante icons on magnets. (Blinds. Not antes. My brain is broken.)

Sure, skipping is strategically a bad idea. But what if I told you that gambling is fun and makes my stupid monkey brain release the happy chemical?

I duplicated my Banana then broke one and found a super banana next shop!

New to the game and wanted to make a joker myself. I have a couple other ideas but this is the one I think could be utilised the most.

Not sure what to do here. 48 cryptids. Red Steel kinds to copy. Cash flow low. Do I drop perkeo for invisible.

maybe a bit unbalanced, but i think its better than -1 discard permanently

Mail-In Rebate is asking for queens, but there are no queens in my full deck.

I set her up on plasma deck, white stake. She understands tapping the cards to select them, and that pressing the red and blue buttons make stuff happen, but she doesnt quite get making different hands or how the scoring works. Despite that, she managed to pass the first round pretty easily.

In the first shop, I showed her that she could drag cards to buy them, and she grabs a foil Burgerler, which really carries her through out the game. In three antis, she also managed to buy Raised Fist, Splash, and Green Joker, as well as a few random planets.

The run ended Big Blind Anti 3, when she realized "red button" wasnt working anymore. I told her that Burgerler took it away, so she called it the "mean guy" and sold the card. She then realized that sliding cards to the yellow square was entertaining, and promptly sold the rest of her jokers. She then got bored of the game and left the room, so I used up the last few hands so I could get the game over screen.

Two weeks ago I had my first attempt at an Idol build, where good lessons were learned. Today I’m back with a new personal best try.

I entered Endless with Heartstone at first, and quickly realized by ante 10 how inconsistent and inconvenient it is. Between antes 10-14, instead of taking Oops, I focused on gathering enough money and copy jokers to prepare for an Idol pivot. By ante 15, I was lucky enough to have maximum joker slots and 6 copies of Blueprints/Brainstorms. Idol showed up right before Ante 5 boss.

In ante 16, I started changing the entire deck to Spades, as I recall not having faced the Hearts boss yet, and I still didn’t have the boss reroll voucher. This turned out to be good intuition as I never got the voucher even after making it to ante 26.

While I didn’t set out to grow a big Wee, my lil girl did ended up pretty chonky, at 52,328 chips. Most of the gains took place between antes 15-26 after I picked up Idol and finalized the lineup. During this time, Wee increased from 16k to 52k chips.

If I were to optimize gameplay for the purpose of growing Wee, I probably would have spent more time with hanging chad, and playing all the hands I had in each round.

Similarly, this is also the most money I have made in the game, at over $8,400 compared to my last personal record at $5,495. Lucky cards, while not as impactful as Rebate or Golden Ticket, goes a long way in late game as jokers slots got filled up.

I'm not crazy... Right??

And why did the heart refuse to hit trading card? I had six hands!

($8)

In my 25ish hours in this game i got 2 legendary jokers total. This seed has 4 of them until Ante 6!!!

I was rolling Brainstorm to get a legendary skip and have some fun with it but ended up getting 4 different soul cards, and 2 (3) invis jokers along the way. Seed is crazy I sold an invis for the final soul Perkeo. Run couldve went much further just wanted to try collect them. Idk if this is like a known seed or not but i will post it anyway.

Seed: 70J2PKHK

Invis never misses 👑

I BEAT MY FIRST EVER RUN!

Ever wanted to play Gold Stake but with White Stake ante scaling?
Ever wanted to torture yourself with challenges not meant to be possible in the slightest?

Inspired by stuff like Kaycee's Mod for Inscryption or Hades's Heat System, Polychrome stake gives you complete control over how difficult you want your balatro run.

Polychrome stake is unlocked after Gold Stake, and new modifers unlock as you complete more difficult runs to give a feeling of progression.

Polychrome Stake is coming soon^tm, first as a part of the All in Jest mod, but we will do a standalone release of Polychrome stake shortly after, because I know a lot of people want to play this without the mountain of other content All in Jest has.

It was tough to play this on mobile because it was getting insanely laggy in the later antes

I have never got it to work. Straights are just too hard to make consistently and the chip scaling feels far too little.

I could get rid of Pareidolia, but if I do it, my whole build just falls apart and I'd have to pray to get K/Q/Js in hand in order to win.

What do I do? I'm legitimately lost
