Balatro

I don't know how obvious it is from my posts, but in addition to being an obsessive board gamer, I am also a somewhat obsessive video gamer.  This isn't going back nearly far enough, but Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox, Steam [doh, forgot Wii, and others]....and, of course, simply downloading/buying and installing for, um....40 years?  Wow....that seems like a long time.

I downloaded this tonight. Rather than doing something fantasy or scifi based, Balatro took straight up poker hands and turned it into a level climber.  It's difficult to say "that's brilliant" because it really should have been done before.  But, damn....that's brilliant.

If you like poker, this is a FUN game.
