The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

    If by “were” you mean “are”, then Balatro.

      I just got it. Beat my first red deck run, but it has yet to really sink its hooks into me. I’d be curious to hear what makes it work for you.

        Have you not seen how big number can be? Number can just get so big. I don’t even care that I’m ADHD and I’m playing into all the worst stereotypes about us:

        NUMBER GETS BIG

        I couldn’t say why it got me so hooked. I like roguelikes/rogue-lites as well as deckbuilders, and I think it hits a really good balance of the things that make them fun - challenge, randomness, a variety of strategies that can make different runs feel very different. Also good achievements and unlockables.
