This probably already exists, but just in case... copy pasting mod idea i posted in private:
Balatro should have alternate modes and modifiers that makes it easier or harder outside of the decks and stakes.
Like, fuck it, mode that has 5 antes per round called demo mode or longplay or demo investment... and one called "lightning round" or "all in" that has less scaling and more rounds but is ALL 1 ante, makes you go through every boss per complete run, and ends off with higher scores needed than normal gameplay... lake the scores you see in endless.
Baby = easy/5 ante rounds
(no unlocks)
Up the ante = normal/3 ant rounds
River = all bosses, no skips, 28 total antes
(last three act like endless's round 9)
Call the clock = time limit per round
Backraise = two bosses per round, halved money earnings
Big Bet Game = endless + no bosses
(No unlocks)
Cold deck = decide predetermined pools of jokers/bosses
(No unlocks and no discoveries)
Probably hard as crap to make, likely gonna be told most of this or all of it's impossible... but i just wanted to throw this out here.
