Game is super fun. I'd recommend getting on mobile though as I find it a much more natural experience to start/stop play without needing to be at a computer

Yeah and it's free on Apple Arcade. Which includes macOS version. Love this game!

Very fun game. Part poker, part deck building strategy, sparse sound and graphics that work to its advantage.

It's included in Apple Arcade if you have that sub. Def would recommend.

I have it on both and find it best on the iPad because touch controls are solid and screen size is perfect.

iPhone is too small to play comfortably (for me) except in a pinch, playing on my MacBook Pro is great but not always convenient to travel or just lounging on the couch.

Really loving it on my pixel, the music is a lot like risk of rain.

When I earned the completionist trophy there were under 1% of people that had it. You'd think by accomplishing everything there is to do I'd stop playing. Nope. Still play daily. WHAT A GAME

I played a lot of this game. Earned all but two of the achievements. It's fun but success/winning is heavily RNG dependent in terms of deck building. Skillful playing is only half of it, if that. The rest is just random luck with getting the right deck synergies. Especially as you progress to the more challenging phases of the game.

Personally I recommend NOT reading a guide and just learning the tricks yourself over time, much more fun that way

Somewhat agree. Desktop, it does not feel as good. Steamdeck? It's so fun.

This game is also super addicting.

Thank you for that, actually came here to ask what platform would be best to get it for (Switch, PC/Steam or Mobile (iOS/Android). Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on sale on iOS right now.

That guide is pretty old, before the previous big patch with the changes to orange and gold stakes. I also used it as one of the first guides when I first got it, around the time of the mobile release. I wish I hadn't. Supernova is nowhere near as good as that guide made it out to be.
If you really want to get a head start, try something like the Youtube channel Balatro University, it has a playlist for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?...0xWG9ZWA14
Yes it is a lot to watch.
