  • Strategically use Joker cards to create a powerful scoring machine tailored to beat any boss build in Balatro.
  • Experiment with different card placements and combinations in your deck to find the best strategy for success in the game.

If you don’t mind too much about looks, here you’ll find some of the most interesting and well-crafted roguelikes you can play.

Every Item Has Its Purpose

Redeeming the Blank Voucher - Balatro Seeing the blank voucher at first, the impulse to ignore it for other, better-seeming vouchers is natural. The description itself says that it does nothing, so leave it alone, right? No! Pick them up as soon as you can and it doesn’t break the bank. Collect all ten, and the payout will be more than worth it.

Once you buy ten of these empty vouchers, you’ll unlock a powerful boon: the Antimatter voucher. This voucher adds an extra Joker slot. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you employ the following cards:

  • Bloodstone Joker : Give a one in three chance for played cards with a Heart suit to give times two multiplier when scored
  • Oops, All Sixes Joker : Doubles all listed probabilities
  • Blueprint Joker : Copies ability of Joker to the right
  • Cavendish Joker : A Three times multiplier, a 1-in-1000 chance of being destroyed at the end of the round
  • Seltzer Joker : Retrigger all cards played for the next 10 hands
  • Supernova Joker : Adds the number of times the poker hand has been played to Multiplier

What you have created is a tailor-made score machine ready to rack up as many chips as you need to beat any Boss Build.

6 Carefully Look Over Your Joker Cards

Don’t Let A Good Joker Run Loose

Several Jokers from Balatro Playing hands straight is all well and good, but what about adding a little extra something to your deck? Well, you’ll eventually have your choice of 150 total Joker Cards to play around with and figure out what works best for you. Some, like Rocket, are simple but useful money boosters that will help you gain some money to buy more cards, but others are a little more tricky to use.

For example, Bloodstone, an uncommon card, provides a two-times multiplier for every hard suit that has scored. A huge boon, but even with a deck filled to the brim with heart cards, you still only have a one-in-three chance of the perk popping when you want it to. It makes you question if you want to take up a Joker slot for only a one-third chance of working. That’s the fun of discovery!

5 Know When To Hold And ‘Fold’ Your Cards

Take Advantage Of The No-Duplicate Market

Opening the Card Shop in Balatro No technical illegal moves here! Once you buy a Tarot, Joker, Or Arcana card, you’ll be able to hold it in your arsenal for the remainder of the run you’re on (unless otherwise stated on the cards). Sure, you technically can’t place these cards in the deck, but there is a huge perk that you can take advantage of while you’re still building your deck.

While it can be difficult for a beginner to dive in, these games serve as a fantastic jumping-off point for newcomers to the roguelike genre.

Let’s say you’re holding the Death Arcana card, waiting for the perfect card to copy. Well, while that card is in your possession, it won’t show up in the shop. You can use this to your advantage as you hold on to lower-ranked cards, raising the chances of more rare cards to pop up in between rounds. Then, once you find what you’re looking for, you can sell what you were holding, with no problem.

4 Card Placement Is Important

Both In Your Hand And In Your Deck

Showing The Full Deck and Order in Balatro to plan out your next moves Even if you don’t play with a heavily multiplier-focused deck, you must keep in mind that they are an important part of scoring. There are two types of multiplier cards: Those that add, and those that multiply. You’d get a multiplier score regardless of where you place these cards, but doing that is not getting the most out of your build.

A Joker like Cavendish, for example, would be wasted if placed in order of first, because it’s multiplying your base score before the other boosts and multipliers are taken into account. While it’s something that can be easily outmaneuvered by simply paying attention to what you are doing, you should still be mindful of what is going where.

3 Play Non-Ideal Hands

Discarding The Wrong Cards Can Make For A Bad Run

A Not so great looking hand in Balatro filled with twos and threes Balatro at the end of the day is about balance. You must know when to go the distance when to fold, and when to clean out your entire hand and try again. You are always going to want to strive for those high Straights and Flushes, but that’s not always going to be possible. Sometimes, you gotta take out the trash.

Anything lower than a nine does a disservice to your ability to build up enough points to defeat the Boss Blinds which hinders your deck. Play what you have and get rid of the cards that way, it opens up the chance of getting better cards in the long run and lets you save money.

2 You Can Save Money To Gain Interest

But That’s Not Always The Best Move

Cashing out and gaining money in Balatro Obviously, the more money you’re able to accrue each round the better, and you can’t do that if you keep buying all the common stuff, right? So, you decide to stop all spending and save your money per round. At times, this is a good thing, especially if you aren’t rolling with the green or yellow decks. But, there is something else to consider.

Interest is nice, but when you aren’t spending at least some of that cash, that’s power-ups, vouchers, and Tarot cards you’re passing up that would potentially get you a lot more money than hanging on to the default method. You have to be willing to take the risk and come out of your pocket every once in a while. You’ll make that interest in no time.

1 Experimentation Is Your Best Friend

Don’t Stop Yourself From Trying New Combinations

Several Decks spread out against a background in Balatro If you ask any avid Balatro player what their favorite deck is, you’re going to get a wider variety of answers than you would think. Some prefer the Erratic Deck, where all ranks and suits are completely at random. Others prefer the Plasma deck, where your ability to multiply your multipliers grows exponentially.

The main point is, that you are bound to find your favorite deck and have a hard time trying to find a reason to try the others, but why hold back? The world is your poker table, just waiting for you to play the best game you want to play. Trial and error is what makes Roguelike games fun.
