Once I “figured it out”, I realized I was beating the decks using flushes. So I decided trying different styles like building a deck for playing straights, full houses, two pairs. I found out you can play a full house flush. It isn’t on the list of poker hands so that was fun to stumble upon.

Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 week agoI don’t get the Balatro addiction stuff. It’s a good game, but after you’ve played it a few times it gets boring. Sure, “number go up” but it’s like people have never played a video game before. There’s so many Skinner boxes that, at least for me personally, it becomes numbing. I also don’t easily get sucked into other manipulative addicting things in other games though, so maybe it’s just something wrong with me.
What makes you continue playing Balatro after you’ve “figured it out?”

Playing different Antes, Decks and Challenges has kept it fresh and interesting for me: forcing me out of my comfort zone to find new combinations and strategies that works. It might help to change the game speed to 4x so it’s not so showy with the jokers and you can iterate different strategies faster. Or it’s not your thing. Nothing wrong with that.

For me it’s 2 things :
The first one gets me hooked, the second one keeps me going. It takes a long time to figure it out, as you put it.
