Balatro Rebalanced

An attempt at rebalancing Balatro. Giving some love to unpopular Jokers, Consumables, and Vouchers, and relieving some frustration points around certain Decks and Stakes.

Overview

This mod rebalances a wide range of Jokers, Consumables, Vouchers, Decks, Stakes, and poker hands. The focus is on buffing underused or underwhelming content (like Loyalty Card, Ouija, and Magic Trick) rather than nerfing the game into the ground, while also smoothing out a few notoriously frustrating mechanics (like Black Deck and Blue Seal).

If you've ever picked up a Joker and thought "why would anyone ever use this," this mod is probably for you.

Requirements

• Steamodded (installed automatically by your mod manager)

Installation

Install with the Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman and dependencies will be handled for you.

For manual installation, download the zip, then extract the mod's folder into %appdata%/Balatro/Mods (create the Mods folder if it doesn't exist).

What's Changed

See the full list of differences from vanilla Balatro in the patch notes.

Compatibility

This is my first mod and it is still in alpha, so other mods (especially ones that modify gameplay) are likely to conflict with this one and may crash your game. If you run into a compatibility issue, please open an issue and I'll work on fixing it.
