but there is something to be said when EVERYONE owns a ten dollar gam

Because it’s the game of the year.

…and because literally every mechanic in the game is random. The whole game is a skinner box. I say this as a fan of Balatro.

To quote myself from elsewhere in the thread: The blinds are random, the jokers are random, the store is random, the planets are random, the tarot cards are random, it’s all random.

That’s literally what gives Balatro an addictively replayable quality.

How are the blinds random? They scale. Every game is “random” if you want to boil it down.
