As a person who doesn't really know the first thing about poker, I can't say enough good things about Balatro. It's the only thing that's every fully scratched the itch that Slay the Spire left me with, and it's arguably even more replayable.

I bought it for full price a few months ago, well worth it. I actually only play on my phone, there's an easy way to convert the game into an APK to side load on android. It's the perfect game for mobile in my opinion.

Don't trust CDKeys. Don't support grey market key resellers. The balatro dev is a cool guy who's put a lot into this game, go through a trusted website to make sure he gets his appropriate cut.

Most of the time when they're selling keys for hella cheap it's stuff that's in humble bundles, I think most of their sales are broken up bundles bought this way.
I can't say for sure when it comes to Balatro, but I'd assume they actually paid the dev for these keys.

It's not grey market, and if the developer was worried about it they could prevent the use of steam keys for their game.

This is my favorite game right now. Easily one of my favorite of all time if you like roguelikes, strategy games, deck builders, etc. Super addictive and challenging while also being very approachable and casual if you want. I was a little skeptical because I'm not a poker player at all but it really does it's own thing and goes crazy with it

Game was only 56MB install. . .that's insane!

Nice find and been waiting for a decent price. CD Keys is a bit sketchy as I recently purchased XBOX game pass cards and had photo copies of cards from Brazil with the back scratched off.

I play on my iPhone and iPad via GeForce Now and my Steam library. Free tier works well when not a high traffic gaming time, and there are tons of deals to get a premium plan for cheap if someone wanted. Still, looking forward to the day they launch natively.

Any tips how to do that? Would love to play it on the Fold

Just spent the last 90 minutes playing this for the first time. . .wow. I thought Slay the Spire was addicting. Nothing in common with that game although card related. Once I got hang of this, I could see losing hours.

Care to provide a link on how that's done? I've never heard of this being done before. I'm assuming it was developed with a framework like react native to support multiple devices at build. Pretty cool though.
