Did you feel that? It’s as if all of the world’s productivity suddenly stopped, all at once. People stopped yelling at once another online about this or that, instead taking a moment to download a seemingly innocuous game to their mobile phone. What’s this little game that looks a little like Poker, mixed with Solitaire, and with all these funny jokers? I’m talking about, of course, the smash hit game Balatro, which has launched to an unsuspecting iOS and Android market. If you are unfamiliar, what is Balatro? I’m glad you asked.
I actually feel a little bad providing these links. You’ll never escape this game once you start playing.
You’ve been warned.

In all seriousness, this is easily one of the most addictive card strategy games I’ve played in years, and the depth of that strategy is seemingly endless. It’s already out on PC and consoles, and now you’ve got a way to play on the go. Are you already a Balatro fan?
