25 hours on the Deck and I think I completed a run once. It's a fun game but I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. Sometimes I'll stop playing for months because I hit discard instead of play hand in an otherwise promising run. I remapped the buttons to prevent it from happening but it still happens.
Only an hour or two a day. Im just starting out but I've only managed to win two runs, both with the green deck. It's so frustrating! But I'll keep trying.
Only 25 hours but I have bought the game in last quarter of 2025 because I wanted to resist the potential addiction
Doesn't matter, I can quit whenever I want
The indie-ver.se community for Balatro.
Community Rules:
1: Keep it Balatro-related.
As long as your post is actually about Balatro or clearly tied to it (themed stuff, mods, fanart, memes, cursed decks, whatever), it can stay. Totally off-topic stuff, or content with zero connection to the game or its community, will be removed.
2: Be decent to each other.
No insults, slurs, or “you’re an idiot” type stuff. Skill issue jokes are fine if it’s clearly a joke. Just don’t be a jerk. No bigotry. Disagreements are fine, just keep it in good faith. Argue the point, not the person.
3: NSFW content.
Keep it SFW unless marked NSFW; and even then, no genitals, sexual acts, or outright porn. Kissing, straight or not, isn’t inherently NSFW. But if the tone or pose is clearly sexual, it might need a tag. If your art is spicy, tag it and don’t cross the line.
4: No piracy / cracked / unofficial game versions.
Mods are fine, clones and cracked copies are not. Don’t post about pirated copies or ask where to get them. Found a potential IP infringement? DM us or email Playstack, don’t make a post about it please.
5: No giveaways, begging, or unofficial merch.
6: Self-promo is fine (within reason).
7: No brigading, witch-hunting, or drama-stirring.
8: Credit where it’s due.
9: Mods reserve discretion.
