1H1D #218: Balatro

It was nearly called Joker Poker.

Chris wants to play a roguelike? For you longtime listeners, I'm sure that sounds borderline inconceivable, but here we are with his thumb on the scale, pushing our duo to investigate the deck-builder developed by LocalThunk and published by Playstack. Available everywhere and now included with Xbox Game Pass, this indie title was crafted by a single anonymous developer and has been nominated for spades of awards. Critics and players alike are saying it's a modern classic and that has set expectations high for our hosts. Will Chris be proven right to cash in on the hype or will this be a major bust? The hour had been invested, let's learn if his gamble pays off!
