I replaced the poker part of the game with Blackjack during the Blackjack Challenge, will be eventually expanded to a set of new decks.

How it Works: You hit to draw a card to the initial 2. you can hit until your card's ranks sum over 21. Aces are 1 or 11, which even is highest and doesn't bust. When you stand the Blind will draw from a separate deck and stand if their score reaches 17 or more. if your score is higher then you win and play all cards in hand, if your scores match you "Push" and your cards in hand get discarded, if your score is lower than the blinds score the blinds cards score and their total x -0.5 is scored. the blinds cards always return to their deck. different blinds can have different decks.

I think there should be a button to play blackjack mode outside of the challenge mode

upbeat juniper
#

Discarding has been added

violet owl
#

This is the newest hit Balatro mod

upbeat juniper
#

Correct

upbeat juniper
#

small blind deck has been changed

#

to standard but without 7s or Aces

upbeat juniper
#

Concepts:

The Bind (Blind) - -1 Bust Limit
Tie Breaker (Common Joker) - On push, win the hand instead
Insurance (Uncommon Joker) - On Hand Loss, Earn $3 if played hand sums (bust limit).
Bust Card (Common Joker) - X0.65 Mult if Enemy won this hand
Crazy Card (Enhancement) - May be counted as a 7 in summing hands
Osmium Card (Enhancement) - On stand, +2 to yours and enemy’s total
Garnet Card (Enhancement) - +7 Mult when held in hand. On stand, this card is not played or discarded
Showdown Spades Deck - Play with 40 7s and 12 8s. Discarding is disabled. Blackjack Mode
Showdown Clubs Deck - Start with 10 extra Stone Cards. Blackjack Mode
Showdown Hearts Deck - Play with Crimson Hearts Deck. -2 hands per round. Blackjack Mode
Showdown Diamonds Deck - Erratic Deck with Blackjack Mode

i've been playing a lot of dungeons and degenerate gamblers so i kinda wanna try this out

upbeat juniper
#

have fun

graceful trout
#

This gotta be my favorite take on the concept

Imagine pairing it with the degenerate gamblers mod lol

upbeat juniper
#

Ty, and also lol

vocal raft
#

loving this mod! such a clever take on it!

upbeat juniper
#

ty

vocal raft
#

Is it possible to have both the dealer and the player draw from the same deck? Having separate decks is a bit confusing

upbeat juniper
#

And the mod has non-standard decks for some blinds which make them harder to beat

vocal raft
#

A good solution to that would be to increase the decks

#

Here are some Joker Ideas:

  • Triple 7 – If the player lands three 7s or three Aces, they automatically win the round and receive a $50 bonus.

  • Zombie – If both the player and dealer bust, the player revives and gets +1 hand.

  • War Blackjack – If the player and dealer have tied hands, both draw a card. The higher card wins with a x1.5 payout multiplier.

  • Super Fun 21 – Player’s Blackjack always wins, even against the dealer’s Blackjack, when it triggers loses $2.

  • Blackjack Bonus – Doubles chip score whenever the player wins with a Blackjack, x2 chips.

upbeat juniper
#

Two decks just seems like a better solution to me

vocal raft
#

yes that's what I was implying

#

like in Classic Blackjack having 1-8 decks

upbeat juniper
#

As in two separate decks

#

It doesn’t really cause any issues, and you don’t need to pay the most attention the enemy deck

#

With a few exceptions as the showdown blinds have particularly interesting decks

vocal raft
#

I haven't checked any of the decks of the blinds so far, I only played the usual

#

do they change?

upbeat juniper
#

Small blinds has a deck with no aces or sevens

#

Big blind has a standard deck

vocal raft
#

ok I see, what is the purpose behind this?

upbeat juniper
#

Most boss blinds have no twos, no fours, no sixes, no eights, no nines, three sets of threes, three sets of 7s, and two sets of tens

upbeat juniper
#

Which especially helps on ante 1

#

And boss blind gives more of a fight

vocal raft
#

ok I understand now, it's for increasing difficulty to accommodate the blackjack mode

#

doesn't it work if you leave it as is and play with the original boss blinds?

#

this is a nice idea for sure but I think it changes the whole game from being balatro

upbeat juniper
#

Well yes the poker element has been replaced entirely

#

I think it makes the blinds more engaging

vocal raft
#

right so like debuffing spades or something it doesnt say anything

upbeat juniper
#

Boss blinds still do their boss blind effect

vocal raft
#

I think a good way to implement this would be to take inspiration from the boss blinds. For example, you could make it so that you can apply debuffs like, you can only win with 20 or making their cards unplayable (the ones you said like no 2s no 4s etc) and modify the existing deck for the current blind. And maybe all these would be better if you have decks/modes that you play like the current way and other decks that you have both player and dealer draw from the same pile so all players can be satisfied. Removing that and separating the decks it feels like a core mechanic of the Blackjack game being the strategy of calculating the odds of the next hand or whatever is not present

#

And with the other modes/decks you can also implement Blackjack variants like

#
  • Spanish 21: with no 10-value cards
  • European: 2 standard 52-card decks
  • No face Deck etc.
upbeat juniper
#

My main issue with your proposals is that the two deck systems works and I don’t really see the advantage to removing it. It cannot be THAT confusing to have the blind draw from a separate deck.

#

I’m not sure what you mean by calculating the odds of the next hand not being present. You still have to assess the risk of a hit and the risk of a stand with separate decks.

vocal raft
#

Honestly, it's not really an issue. You could just create a separate deck mode for it, and it can work fine that way. I’m not saying the current approach doesn’t work or that it should be removed, I also didn’t notice the blind decks being different.

#

I’m just suggesting that if there’s a Blackjack mode where the player and dealer draw from the same deck/pile, it might be more like the traditional game works and have the mechanic of knowing which cards are left to calculate the odds of the next hand etc.

shrewd jasper
#

This is fun, but it really needs a counter on screen telling you the total value of your current hand

#

Also, it's incredibly frustrating that losing not only sets your score back, but it uses your jokers to do it

shrewd jasper
#

Further thoughts: I think you can dispense of the enemy deck entirely. It feels unnecessary, and I would have a lot more fun if I just had a limited number of hands to meet the required score, like in regular Balatro, but going bust meant that you scored nothing on that hand.

#

As it stands, the main thing causing me to not have fun with this mod is that losing the hand causes you to actively lose score, which is just utterly frustrating when you have such little control over the enemy deck and how they draw, and it's doubly frustrating that they use your jokers when doing so. Even if you never bust and play very carefully, you can still just lose over and over because the enemy deck drew good hands. Also, some of the boss blinds are overpowered to the point of frustration; The Fish stands out as aggressively bad here.

upbeat juniper
#

Well there was a bug that was messing with the enemy deck, so I need to do another check how powerful the blinds are on average, I’m not changing it to scoring with a limited amount of hands because that kinda defeats the purpose of the mod and is far less engaging. I will ban The Fish it’s definitely not fair to draw cards face down that often

#

As for your score being set back and using your jokers to do it, the loss in score is to provide a considerable penalty for losing as just losing a hand is pretty weak considering a win can earn it back very easily with tons of score to boot.

upbeat juniper
graceful trout
#

also how debuffed cards fuction is a bit confusing

#

you would expect them to not count but they do

#

screwed me over buncha times

upbeat juniper
#

Debuffed cards still count for poker hands so they count for your hand sum as well

violet owl
#

You should make a stone deck that makes half your deck stone cards

#

There is no suggestion for.

#

hit me OUCH, hit me OUCH, hit me OUCH

violet owl
#

Also a sleeve

fading cliff
#

seems like this would crash if you had an ID that didnt have a corresponding SMODS rank

#

since rank = {} thus nominal = nil thus total + nil

upbeat juniper
fading cliff
#

no clue

#

nobody uses custom ranks

#

but its possible for it to happen even if nobodys implemented it like so

#

just wanted to let you know

violet owl
fading cliff
#

looks like it works fine with the unstable custom ranks

upbeat juniper
#

pretty sure all ranks have ids

fading cliff
#

issue is prolly with jokers that would modify ids

#

e.g. all cards count as half their rank

#

or some shit

upbeat juniper
#

if they return an id that doesn't correspond to a rank that's a them problem

#

anyway, im thinking of adding an enemy discard pile

#

since successive blackjacks on a blind isn't as unlikely as i'd like

fading cliff
upbeat juniper
#

(if the blind runs out of cards they'll get all the cards in their discard pile back, so you can't simply win by having a massive deck)

upbeat juniper
#

might change to -1 Bust Limit

shrewd jasper

Is regular Balatro less engaging because it doesn't have an enemy deck trying to beat your hands? Not really, no.
I think a good compromise would be to have both modes available as options for the mod.
Thanks for listening re: The Fish, that boss blind is just way too hard since each time you win a hand you're almost guaranteed to lose the next one. Flipping cards is just way more brutal in Blackjack Mode

upbeat juniper
#

i banned The Fish

#

as of a few hours ago

#

also im talking about how engaging the blinds specifically are

#

most of the thinking in normal balatro is in the shop

shrewd jasper
#

I don't think that's actually a bad thing, is all

upbeat juniper
#

i don't either, but engaging blinds is one of things i hope to achieve with this mod

Damn I was both 1 and 2

violet owl
#

So*

storm seal
#

Oh what a cool idea

#

Is there a video of someone trying this mod out?

#

Also I'd read some previous discussion on the "blinds have their own decks" debate and definitely think they should stay separate from the player deck

#

If you modify your deck to be stronger and more consistent then all you're really doing is making it more likely that the blinds pull those same good strong sets of cards

i made Custom Playing Cards

i am so fucking stupid

i have no clue how i did not notice that

upbeat juniper

#

What's the current joker count for blackjack mode? Since not every vanilla joker can work

upbeat juniper
#

around 110 - 120

#

I'm about to unban DNA and Sixth Sense

storm seal
#

How does DNA even work, do you just lose the first hand on purpose basically?

upbeat juniper
#

for DNA you would have to discard a card then stand and hope enemy busts

#

in short, not very good

storm seal
#

Yeah I think priority #1 is making sure there's a really good playable array of jokers for this mode

graceful trout
#

are debuffed cards still just really really bad or is that getting changed to make more sense

upbeat juniper
upbeat juniper
storm seal
#

Wouldn't debuffed cards just not add their chips to your score as usual?

upbeat juniper
#

yes

storm seal
#

So they're just as bad as they've always been

upbeat juniper
storm seal
#

The mod doesn't have held cards at the moment right?

upbeat juniper
#

yes

#

related jokers to held in hand cards are banned

graceful trout
#

Mmmm i got an idea

Consumable cards for cheating purposes

#

Ima test tomorrow if tarots work but i assume its just upping your bet for that one hand

Tarots work during blinds just fine

for better deckfixing

Having reverse tarots purely dedicated to deck fixing makes sense on account of this mode being way more random

I am making a letter game mode so like I wonder how that's going to work

upbeat juniper
cyan jackal

letters are another card attribute so if you get a voucher during a run you can play with both

this mod goes by the rank of the card, other attributes are irrelevant (unless it's an attribute that directly addresses a Hit mechanic or modifies rank)

alrighte

edited the 2 playing cards ones and the card back

#

alternate card back color

#

ive been sick-ish and busy so quite slow at doin these

#

the changes are subtle but basically the playing card ones use the actual balatro sprites and have the gradients while the cardback has been heavely redesigned to fit more with balatro card backs, also because i think it looks slicker now

#

oh yeah can you like choose a color

#

actually ima just keep both for now as the blank card is redundant, theres alredy a blank card in the game

wdym choose a color?

Suggestion: At least give us a way to see how much numbers we had in our hand instead of forcing ourselves to do math.

#

Kinda like discard and hut

#

Hit*

upbeat juniper
#

I could just put the number on the stand button

violet owl
#

Like

"STAND"
"20"

upbeat juniper
#

Yup that was the plan

#

And also to include whether the hand is soft or not

upbeat juniper
#

Note: this will not count Osmium Cards adding +2 value to your hand

storm seal
#

You should put the number below the word stand maybe

#

Stand
21

upbeat juniper
#

one line was simpler codewise

storm seal
#

Aight I mean, idk how much harder it would be to just add a line break but ok

upbeat juniper
#

a line break wouldn't do anything

upbeat juniper
#

Misprint has been nerfed

#

it will display NO instead of telling you the top card on your deck

tender gate
#

Another suggestion: Black Jack doesn't allow to do hit. So if the Bust limit is 24 from Overload deck, then you won't being ask to hit if you have 24 points.

storm seal
#

What if you have a plan though

tender gate
#

Oh, you can?

#

Huh

upbeat juniper
violet owl
upbeat juniper
#

i was thining that, but i think i'll wait a bit before thinking on how to nerf it

#

(note it has to be in hand to work)

violet owl
#

Maybe per hit past 10

#

Or wait

upbeat juniper
#

might change it to an 8

violet owl

Ug

#

That's a lot more balanced

#

But also mean

#

It's going to mess me up a lot I can tell

violet owl
upbeat juniper
#

i feel that's two powerful

violet owl
#

How

#

You have less leeway to hit

upbeat juniper

And 10s can be useful with aces but usually you don't hit if you get 2 10s

Doubled Bets (Rank 2) - -4 hand value, On Stand, Hit before standing```

define stand count

no official name

that'd be how i phrase it

Maybe even a joker for every hit past 13 summon a rules card

And make it only show if you have cpc

yes

as opposed to 2

Batch+ - 4 or more cards of the same suit
Blackjack Batch - 3 or more cards of the same suit, with a hand sum equal to bust limit
Supreme - 6 or more cards
-----Secret Hands-----
Duobatch - 2 or more cards of the same rank and a card of another rank, all of the same suit
Supreme+ - 7 or more cards
Supreme Batch - 6 or more cards of the same suit```

So tried it out. Very solid ideas, but a few things are off. One it's extremely difficult to build for anything that isn't High Card, Black jack or Court. Those harder hands in turn offer better payouts, but it's the Straight Flush problem, you can't really build for it while doing basic strategy, it's unreliable even if you get the perfect set up and on top of that you can't dig the deck for cards, you still have to score 17-21, and you always have a chance to get outscored or pushed.
The second issue is the reverse Tarot, these cards are too common, it's outright rare to find any regular tarot cards, in particular hanged man, there are a lot of new ways to add cards to the deck and not a whole lot of ways to remove them.
New enhancements are a bit confusing, I'm not sure the Garnet Cards work at all yet, Osmium I have no idea what they do, and Mega's 0's and Crazy's are good but also they are sharing space with all the original enhancements.

The game just kind of not very well built around the concept, it feels like it needs a whole new separate set of jokers to work properly. There is no digging the deck, no clever discards, no playing multiple hands for value, so a lot needs to be reevaluated and reworked it feels.

how do you download the mod?

Pinned message on thread, go to its git hub page

Seems like the Steel boss bugs out the rest of the game or smth, I keep being forced to play and bust after it when before the boss you can bust but then discard

since I can't make the majority happy i guess i'll have to make the majority unhappy and make the blinds more "alive". You'd think I'm joking but I'm not.

Okay there is something definitely wrong with both of the current new bosses

They seem to permanently change how the rest of the game is played, rebooting doesn't fully help

But unpredictable

no?

#

what?

#

I mean i guess somewhat

graceful trout
#

forgot pentacles was a thing thought you drew a very fancy coin

upbeat juniper
#

but, to clarify

#

it's the minor arcana aces

upbeat juniper
# upbeat juniper hmmmmm

The Plan: Minor Arcana cards will be part of the deck, but when they are the top card in deck they cannot be drawn (unless they are the last card in deck) and will flipped face up atop the deck, This minor arcana may be used while on top of the deck to enact an effect which will typically involve moving the vard off from the top of the deck.

upbeat juniper
#

this will be fun...

upbeat juniper
#

might change the pentacle color a bit

upbeat juniper
#

2s added

upbeat juniper
#
Ace of Cups - move this card to top of deck, then move all cards of a random suit in deck to top of deck
Ace of Swords - Shuffle 4 Fleeting Mega Blackjack 0s to deck then discard this card.
Ace of Wands - Hit, Stand, and double Mult at end of either scoring.```
storm seal
#

why don't they all do the same thing for their respective suits lol

upbeat juniper
#

wdym?

storm seal
#

Add an ace of suit

upbeat juniper
#

that would be boring and also not what I'm going for

#

also these suits don't correspond to standard suits

storm seal
#

Wdym

upbeat juniper
#

not in the context of this mod i mean

storm seal
#

Pentacles are coins so they're diamonds and associated with riches
Wands are wooden sticks and associated with clubs
Swords being spades I feel is pretty self explanatory
Cups is the only one that doesn't match its classic suit but the Violet Vessel boss is a reference to the suit that it WOULD be associated with being, Cups probably i don't remember

storm seal
upbeat juniper
#

it's an Ace because Aces are about the miust valuable rank you can get

storm seal
#

Those feel like they'd be the "I need an ace!" consumables and then you have 4 copies of em since there's more consumables

#

No yeah I get they're valuable

upbeat juniper
#

i want to give all the cards unique abilities

upbeat juniper
#

gonna have this deck until i figure our exactly how I want to use these cards

upbeat juniper
#

added the 3s

upbeat juniper
#

might change the 2 of Wands since it's barely useful if the blind has it

storm seal
#

2 of swords
Creates 3 cards

upbeat juniper
#

2 would be kinda underpwered

storm seal
#

Could put that effect on the 3 of swords

upbeat juniper

wouldn't fit the them of the card

next planned joker: Jackpot - earn $7 if winning hand contains 3 7s

empty herald
#

this is what i mean

#

its more readable

upbeat juniper
# empty herald

i don't want the darknwss of the suit symbols to be similar to that of the background illustration

#

i tried darkening it myself and the appearance wasn't one i liked so i've opted against it

empty herald
#

idk i think you might need to sacrifice the ideal appearance a bit for readablity

#

because appearance doesnt mean anything when you cant tell whats going on

upbeat juniper
#

SMG commented on this too, but in gameplay i simply can't see how it would be difficult to see the illustration

#

so, I will take this into account but I'm probably not going to priotitize changing this any more than i already have until the minor arcana spriting is complete.

I’m aware

I don’t think you are lying

I’m just gonna finish the art before deciding on more color changes since I already lighted the bg

On push player wins is an incredibly powerful ability

#

It's at least Uncommon in line with the original Four Fingers and Shortcut

#

Like that's kind of a big thing with the complex hands, not only is it hard to assemble one, even if it's exactly 21 you might still get pushed and the winning hand is dead

upbeat juniper
#

You guys really pushing that often?

graceful trout
#

Honestly yeah nothibg worse than pushing on the neddle

safe epoch
#

Yeah

#

Even on a full blackjack deck

#

In basic blackjack push is estimated 8.5%

And basic blackjack is a game where you do either bust or stay low often

upbeat juniper

tiebreaker is now Uncommon

#

so i found a mod called UnStable. and it has some interesting ranks like 0.5 for example. Combining the mods Reminds me of another game: Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers. Is there a way to incorperate that game's scoring to your mod? like in the game 0.5 is either 0 or 1 depending on what your score is relating to your opponent

upbeat juniper
#

i prefer the approach of simply counting it as it's decimal value

#

i actually haven't tested unstable with this yet so I should do that

golden dirge
#

i'm actually mid run and i haven't noticed any conflicts if that's what your wanting to test

upbeat juniper
#

did the half work as a 0.5 hand value card?

golden dirge
#

yes

#

btw some other values unstable has is 161, 13, square root of 2, and pi. if i find more ranks i'll let you know

upbeat juniper
#

ty

golden dirge
#

there's also it's own 0 and a 1

#

if i can get it's 0 into a Hit run i'll let you know if it works the 1 does count as 1

upbeat juniper
#

they probably will

#

based on how the code is written

golden dirge
#

i found a new rank e which is 2.72 chips

#

no conflict

golden dirge
#

even high values bust. i had a 21 pop up

#

i've had almost all ranks. no conflicts

upbeat juniper
storm seal
#

Feel like this is only useful once

#

Since once you have three lucky 7s, you'll likely get more via death so they'll already be lucky

#

Maybe twice since strength for more 7s

upbeat juniper
#

the idea is that you would start converting your deck into 7s for this

#

using reversed temperance, reversed judgement, death, strength, etc

#

would consider changing the ability to adds a lucky 7 to deck

storm seal
#

That's more enticing

#

It's not super rewarding but it's kinda like, DNA in a sense

#

Where you're rewarded with more of a card you want/already have

My hard is very full thanks

or even 0 discards per round

Force the player to get a size 4 deck

upbeat juniper

the issue with giving a small deck is that is more of a buff in the long run

graceful trout

Understandable

#

Still kinda of hard to use the decks mechanic

upbeat juniper

wdym, it eliminates one of the two major ways to lose a run

graceful trout

True true

also i think i'm going to add a hand cap

to prevent this deck from raking in unreasonable amounts of cash

best balatro mod ever smh

upbeat juniper
#

tysm

unkempt sparrow
#

was playing the mod and got some Joker's ideas (without names tho):

  • Ace's can also be 7 instead of 11 or 1 if possible. Rare
  • If player's total is (bust limit + 1) then get random enhanced Ace. Uncommon
  • -2 bust limit, +2 Discards. Common
  • If Blackjack is played with more than 5 cards get random enhancement on all played cards. Rare
  • If total is 0 get 2 untarot cards and skip current hand (Basically, the blind will not win and hands will not go up / down) Uncommon

And a voucher:

  • lvl 1: Big and Boss blind's stand on (current stand - 1) now
  • lvl 2: Permanently increases bust limit by 1, does not affect blind's
upbeat juniper

We have a suggestions form but these ideas look pretty nice

Ideas for Minor Arcana 3s: 3 of Pentacles - Convert 3 selected cards to the rank of a selected card for this round 3 of Cups - Convert three cards in hand to a single random suit, then Stand 3 of Swords - Destroy a random enhanced card and set scored chips to 0, then Discard 3 of Wands - Convert all cards in hand to the card atop the deck, then destroy this card.

Minor Arcana 4 Concepts:

4 of Pentacles: Shuffle all Aces in Full Deck to deck, then Discard.
4 of Cups: Scored Chips cannot change until you draw 4 unique suits, then Discard.
4 of Swords: Shuffle 14 Fleeting Bonus Cards into deck, then Stand and Lose.
4 of Wands: [idea pending]```

It's another name for tarot, which I mistakenly believed was the right one to use when referring to the whole deck used for actually playing the card games. But it seems that can also just be called tarot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot 🤷

Tarot (, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks) is a set of playing cards used in tarot games and in fortune-telling or divination. From at least the mid-15th century, the tarot was used to play trick-taking card games such as Tarocchini. From their Italian roots, tarot games spread to most of Europe, evolving into new forms in...
