Balatro, the favored poker roguelike and Game Awards GOTY nominee, is lastly getting the merch we’ve all wished since launch day: actual taking part in playing cards. Fangamer is now accepting pre-orders for its new $16 premium deck of 52 taking part in playing cards that have been made in collaboration with the sport’s creator, LocalThunk. The deck will launch someday in March 2025.
The designs printed on the 52 linen-finished playing cards are based mostly on the identical pixelated designs that a few of us have turn into, maybe, a bit of too conversant in because the sport’s launch in February (personally, I’ve spent over 50 hours taking part in on my PC, with extra time sunk into the cell model that just lately launched.) And, as a result of it wouldn’t be Balatro and not using a few of its signature jokers to spice issues up, this deck consists of copies of the usual Joker, Juggler, Blueprint, and Gros Michel playing cards. All of the playing cards arrive tucked away in a foil-accented field.
While this tradition deck is fairly neat, many people at Polygon want it shipped with a extra substantial assortment of jokers current within the sport. That mentioned, it’s a small grievance. If you’d wish to assist the creator, or need extra methods to point out your love for this indie marvel, you may already discover a powerful assortment of shirts, hoodies, mugs, and even an opulent of Jimbo obtainable from the official Balatro retailer.
