    Back in March, Balatro's rating jumped from 3+ to 18+ overnight, and the dev believed it was unjustified. He said: "I think the one thing I am most disappointed by is the fact that other games with actual gambling mechanics aren't rated the same way because of their appearance/theme."

      It is RIDICULOUS that this is 18+. However, I hope that with the surge of interest due to the GOTY noms all over the place, he's raking it in now. I bought it because of the buzz and absolutely love it. Bought it for my wife and a friend of mine as well - it's that good.

      @@Anthonybrother There isn't a casino game like Balatro out there. Casinos have poker, which cost real money. Balatro isn't poker, it's something else entirely that uses both poker hands and fictional poker hands. But the progression of the game is different, you don't bet anything. You just try to score enough points to pass the stage, which rewards you with fictional money that you can spend on upgrades. There's no gambling of money. Not real money, nothing with value (such as houses, cars, etc) and not fictional money or value either.
      If you think Balatro is gambling, you have no f***ing clue what gambling is. If you think it's poker, you also have no f***ing clue what poker is.

      That's the first time I've ever seen something so dumb used as a Cope.
      Most card games tutorials put you into a forced win situation so you can understand the win conditions.
      Balatro has a bad tutorial that's it and it has nothing to do with the fact that you can win or lose. A tutorial is there to TEACH you how to play the game, not throw you into a game and let you figure it out.
      There's a reason tutorials are hated by gamers. They try to teach you how to play games that you already know how to play, while maybe having unique mechanics, so you kinda have to stay there and do stuff that you already know and some stuff that you don't know, so it's boring and you might skip the stuff you don't know etc ...
      That's why I think you should have tutorials divided in 3 parts, like fighting games, and you can skip the first 2 parts.
      Balatro just has a bad tutorial because you should know how to play poker to play the game.

      1. it has a bad tutorial because it lets you lose. (Even though you claim it doesn't because the only thing you really say is it should have forced you to play a few good hands to know what good hands look like)
      2. You should already know how to play poker before starting.
      These 2 things can't possibly both be true. How about the game expects you to know and it doesn't believe it's the games job to teach you the basics of poker other than new mechanics like the joker card and how discarding and playing cards works. If you choose to fuck up that's on you. the game didn't call you an idiot for not knowing how to play the game.

    First he discards a full house by mistake.
    Then he tried to play a straight with 4 cards.
    At the end the round he loses to the tutorial by 1 point.
    Then he starts over again and discard a straight.

    When I first heard about this game, I thought it was a joke. There was no way this game was fun. I grew up during the Solitaire on PC days. And when it was nominated for GOTY, I just laughed. Then a friend told me to try it. It was cheap on Steam sale. I haven't looked back since. I have about 114 hours into it. As you learn more combinations of cards, jokers, planets and tarot cards, it becomes a true strategy game. I love finding out how large of a score I can get. For someone like me that has ADHD, it's awesome. Hopefully it will draw you in more. It's pulled me away from several AAA games.

      His poor playing ability (from lack of reading) draws in the control freaks and the "UH- ACKSHUALLY" backseat gamer types while the fans of everything else just want to see if there's a game he will be decent at from the start. So it seems he plays both sides of his crowd as well as people who like to see him fail.
