A poker roguelike where Jokers bend the rules

The verdict
More than 150 Jokers rewrite how plain poker hands score in this roguelike, and stacking them into combos is where every run is won or lost. Balatro+ is the Apple Arcade edition, with no ads or purchases, on iPhone, iPad and Mac with controller support. If you don't subscribe to Arcade, the standalone Balatro at $9.99 once is the better buy.
