Fun facts – The word “Balatro” comes from ancient Rome and refers to professional clowns or harlequins. Considering that you are now reading this on IGN, it's very likely that you'll hear “Balatro” and instead give you images of poker players and Ben Starr wearing clown makeup Jimbo, the star of last year's breakthrough title that was once won by the Storm (and nominated for IGN'S'''S) Game of the Year 2024).
Whether you're spending hours in the game or are interested in jumping in and learning about the full hype, Balatro's Nintendo Switch version is currently $19.99, down from $29.99, which is part of Amazon Prime Day Sales.

In Balatro, you can earn points by playing various poker hands so that you can score high enough to complete a range of levels. The better you do, the more money you have to spend on upgrading. These upgrades can improve the bonus you get from different types of hands, such as two or straight, thereby enhancing your playing cards with special attributes.
The most notorious feature of the game is Special clown card This will depend on the unique multiplier of the card you play. It sounds much more complicated than before, and when you finish a run or two you will understand why this game is so popular.
Since its first release on Steam in February last year, many awards have been presented by Localthunk’s single developer Blocthunk, and one of the biggest indie hits in recent memory. In our Review“For those who are willing to lose it, very close to those who are willing to lose it, Balatro successfully assembles infinitely fun game loops, and every great Roguelike will be created,” Simon Cardy said.
Whether you're a Balatro Pro, looking for a new platform to play games, or just looking for a new game on the switch, I can't recommend this deal!
