Indie card game 'Balatro' is a productivity nightmare
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.I first heard about this indie card game earlier in the year from a friend, who described it as an addictive mashup of poker and solitaire with some roguelike mechanics thrown in.
Months later, the game would launch on Apple Arcade. And since I had an active subscription to the service, I decided to finally give it a go. Part of me now hopelessly regrets that decision not because I don’t like the game but because I love it so much that it has taken over my life. The moment the mechanics clicked for me, I knew I’d doomed myself to a productivity nightmare.is essentially a poker-based deck builder.
Because you don’t know what’ll come up in the shop between the blinds, you always have to adapt your strategy and find new ways to boost your score with the cards available. With the right synergy of cards, even lower-ranked hands like pairs become viable for hitting your score targets. And discovering those synergies from the countless options and combinations of cards in the game feels incredibly rewarding.
