Not content with simply being one of the best PC games of the year and subsequently dominating on mobile too, Balatro is now getting ready to launch on the most important platform of all—real life. In partnership with Fangamer, developer LocalThunk has opened preorders for a real deck of Balatro cards, complete with a selection of fan-favourite jokers.
Okay, so you won't quite be able to play actual Balatro with them, but they'll certainly give your next poker night or solitaire session the edge. It's a bit disappointing that the pictures on the order page seem to be just renders rather than actual product photos, but they sound like they should be good quality—they're 300gsm white core card stock (pretty normal for poker decks, I think) but with a glossy linen finish which should make them durable with a pretty premium feel.
