Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2/day in the week to Aug 23 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Was just looking for a game that has a similar vibe to Balatro. This one worked quite well! This thing is way more challenging and I'd say not for relaxing, though.

fun take on chess in the balatro mode
Alors le début est cool jusqu'à la difficulté dame qui gâche tt le plaisir. C'est une idée pourrie de mettre tous les gambits temporaire obligatoire (5 tours) le jeu perd tt son intérêt c'est plus que de la chance il n'y a plus aucune tactique a part faire des fantôme à l'infinie et stoker ses tunes pour la fin. c'est vraiment dommage! J'espère que une maj va changer ça, comme balatro des gambits temporaire, payants, normal ENSEMBLE il y a un intérêt que des temporaire c'est NUL.
难
Fuera del "Jaja Ajedrez pero balatro", genuinamente logra comprender bien lo que hizo grande a dicho juego y no simplemente copiarle, si no crear algo original que sí aporta. Desde que salió en la 1.0 ah sido un gran juego que recomendaría sin dudar, ahora estando ya en la 1.4 me alegra mucho ver el buen soporte y mejoras que le dan, haciendo muchos cambios de balance muy buenos y agregando nuevas mecánicas, no solo logrando crear un juego más accesible para los novatos, si no uno más interesante y cómodo para los expertos. Muy buen trabajo, lo han conseguido.
Chess balatro is amazing
