Things I Wish I Knew Sooner in Balatro

[@Griedi]

Playing for over 100 hours I knew most of this stuff by now but I never realized that holding onto consumables blocks them from appearing! thats huge, thanks for that. And keep up the good work, I hope you make it big!

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you for BEANin a friend! Makes my day to get comments like this

[@Playproof]

@@BeansHambone here to echo the sentiment!

[@juang614]

Man, I just started playing this game and it is so addictive. I didn't know the joker order mattered and was stuck trying to get my first win with the red deck. It made such a massive difference once I realized it - and it also makes the game feel deeper and more interesting. It makes you want to try all the possible mechanics and crazy combos and effects

[@IKNOWHUH69]

Whattt the flip, the joker order matters, I had no idea until now either lol

[@BeansHambone]

Glad it helped! Hope your run wins are MULTing like crazy

[@karaujo88]

same here

[@absoultethings4213]

I thought I’d know 99% of these but I had no clue tarots being in the shop also block them from appearing in packs, very good video

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you. Yeah, learning about how cards block each other was a game changer for me

[@uredus]

Watched this video, loaded up Balatro, just had my first victory. Can't believe I didn't realise how important Joker ordering was. Thanks!

[@BeansHambone]

@uredus You're very welcome. It's great to know I'm helping in some way

[@PyroSeeker]

Definitely one of the better beginner videos, thank you!

[@ivanwilliams7413]

You blew my damn mind in the first minute... THE ORDER AFFECTS THE EFFECTS!? Also, LMBAO at the Hanging Chad Joker reference.

[@BeansHambone]

Woot! Hope it helps in your future runs!

[@edwardvandermeer7455]

Considering you're a newer youtuber, this is a good quality vid. I can see this stuff take off if you keep at it in the future.

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you, I'm enjoying the journey so far. Onwards and hopefully upwards!

[@Debbles00]

I have 230 hours in Balatro. This will be very useful

[@merlinb.9621]

I watched the full video and was like: well what did i expect

[@elblanco5]

Incredible tips. I couldn't figure out the joker ordering thing, or blocking for the store. Discarding by playing hands has definitely turned into a way I play to get extra fake discards or to try to push the cards up towards higher levels or face cards by exhausting the lower cards. Looking forward to more videos!

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you and I agree! Using your hands as discards to dig for your winning hand and enhanced cards is key!

[@item459]

This was very helpful, not to mention cleanly and concisely delivered, I’ll make sure to keep these in mind when I next get to play. Definitely earned a sub from me : )

[@napdogs]

You explained these way better than any other video I found so far

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you!

[@grayhatjen5924]

100% agree. You are an instant follow for me!

[@BeansHambone]

@@grayhatjen5924 Thanks! That means a lot!

[@WatchesVideosOnUtube]

Honestly a perfect KZbin video. Well done

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you! Made my day!

[@GovPancakes]

I just grabbed this game about 2 months ago, I have it on switch and mobile. I beat the first 5 decks on both. AND THIS VIDEO WAS STILL INFORMATIVE! *Sub and notification for channel* 🥞

[@BeansHambone]

Thanks @govpancakes and congrats on your progress! I'm temped to get it on mobile

[@kazlamar4654]

Damn I’ve been hooked to this game for the past couple months and I knew nearly everything except multiplying cards score like the jokers from left to right. Hopefully this helps my next run!

[@BeansHambone]

Good luck! Double, Triple, Quadruple that mult my friend!

[@nerocomful]

From one walking, talking piece of food to another, thank you

[@BeansHambone]

tacos and beans go together like peas and carrots

[@willpower4life]

You're quickly becoming my favorite Balatro content creator. Keep up the great work.

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you, that means a lot.

[@jrodartec]

Consumable Block was huge news for me. Thanks!

[@joeanimalskull4243]

Very nicely explained, thank you! The game is awesome - I had fun even when I didn't know many important things.

[@BeansHambone]

It's a great game, glad you are enjoying it

[@DeLePlays]

Eyyy my guy! This was great and I wish I'd have known these tips too! The holding the consumable was huge I didn't know that! Also this is so not "new KZbin" quality. Kudos!! This feels like you've been doing it a while so keep it up you're certainly going places. I'll toss a sub and who knows? Maybe one day I'll be able to say I've been here since the beginning 🤞

[@BeansHambone]

Glad it will help your game! Yeah, new to KZbin and excited to keep making more videos, Stay tuned! Thanks for the support!

[@mpomp6378]

If there wasnt youtubers id be fully convinced this game is an anti gambling PSA. Gotten to the final round way too many times, multiple builds, always get screwed by RNG. I genuinely thought winning a round was a lie to express how real gambling works (keep betting with the promise of a victory that never comes.)

[@BeansHambone]

How are your runs going? You get your first win yet?

[@bluefenix1457]

I didn't know about shop and pack manipulation, thanks!

[@BeansHambone]

Woot woot! Thanks for watching!

[@protopigeon]

I just picked this game up yesterday, this was super informative, thanks!

[@BeansHambone]

Good luck on your Balatro journey! Let us know when you get your first win!

[@j0rd0]

These tips are incredible, thank you 🙏

[@BeansHambone]

You're so welcome!

[@kerriebishop7326]

Jeez I keep finding things I didn't know! I really though there was nothing you could teach me but I was wrong lol

[@vincolan]

I subscribed and liked, great video!

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you!

[@devseb]

Great video!

[@BeansHambone]

Thanks!

[@Unpopular50]

Quality tips, thanks for the short and consise video.

[@shinyminunthetheatregeek2036]

Oooo had no idea about reordering hands! Nifty

[@BeansHambone]

Super nifty!

[@punzasteel]

Not sure if this is on the other tip video, but you can adjust your hand sort type and use that info to make an educated guess at what a face down card could be!

[@bjorncamps4841]

That is brilliant!!!

[@Playproof]

this was fantastic thank you!

[@BeansHambone]

Woot woot! Thanks for watching

[@MrBarbeler]

Great tips!

[@BeansHambone]

Glad it was helpful!

[@revlayle]

A note on blocking with consumables: If you have a Showman in your current joker roster, blocking is thrown out the window. While Showman can get you duplicates of Jokers you have to appear in the shop, it will do the same with Tarots, Planets and Spectrals. In fact, you can open a pack and it will have duplicates sometimes if you have Showman.

[@MichaelDarrow-tr1mn]

Note that if you have brainstorm it's actually typically best to copy your largest Xmult even though that puts it on the left

[@javierbecerra6348]

Wow, thanks for the tips

[@BeansHambone]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

[@RedBeardRetroTech]

Good video and explanation 👍

[@BeansHambone]

Thanks!

[@ender691]

1:50 WAIT IT CHANGES THE ORDER THEY'RE PLAYED IN?! this is huge

[@BeansHambone]

Yeah, it's not just huge, it's GAME CHANGING

[@GamingTales1]

ik this is obvious, but keep 1 consumable slot open if you have hallucination, for more tarots. This video is really awesome btw.

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you and I agree. Also keep one open for cartomancer. I often forget!

[@GamingTales1]

@@BeansHambone yes that too lol

[@moxxie9680]

didnt know consum blocking, thx

[@BeansHambone]

You're welcome!

[@joshbymyself]

I got my bowl full of beans and I'm ready to learn some tips

[@smadog]

Fantastic video! New follower here 😎

[@Saltience]

Warning: Forbidden Knowledge Ahead. The Misprint card (the one with the fluctuating value) will briefly flash the card on the top of your deck in red text. For example, if the next card is a five of clubs, it will flash 5C. Aces are number 14, Kings 13, Hearts H, Spades S, you get the idea. Importantly, you can bring up the collection menu and look at the misprint in there to get the same information, meaning you will always be able to know the next card you’ll receive. This can be used to inform which cards you discard, and is particularly useful with the checkered deck (A deck that only contains spades and hearts), where, in the event you draw 4 of each suit, it can be used to always pick the right suit to discard.

[@BeansHambone]

Misprint the Wise One

[@harrylane4]

realizing joker ordering was a thing made me feel so dumb, because I watched a friend play and it was IN THE TUTORIAL. How did i miss that?????

[@BeansHambone]

I don't even remember playing the tutorial. I was a different bean then...

[@matteotrentin2188]

Very usefull, thanks! ❤

[@BeansHambone]

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

[@UpDiaz]

after 21 hrs and so far only 4 wins I learned a lot from this

[@BeansHambone]

Woot woot

[@bakingwithdavid]

Just started playing and was stuck getting maximum of 3-4000 on a hand. Watching this I was getting 40 to 50k. Still a beginner but thank you

[@BeansHambone]

Woo hoo! Get those high scores!

[@KocoKanaeru]

thanks god balatro didnt involved to any gambling coz if yes, i be in debt for real

[@truediamant777]

2:18 this is actually huge and i would have never noticed by just playing and messing around

[@BeansHambone]

Glad to help!

[@chrismenezies7335]

I honestly didn't even know there were +Multi and xMulti. This has completely changed the game for me. Additionally, high contrast cards, amazing tip! ❤️

[@BeansHambone]

Thank you! Happy xMulting and enjoy those clear blue club cards!

[@yadongman]

่Thanks. I have yet to beat the gold level. Maybe it is possible now.

[@BeansHambone]

I hope so! Let us know when you get your first gold stake win!

[@VolatiIeBandit]

I played this at 1.5x speed to make it sound like a normal voice pace. Good advice, just speed it up a little.

[@Chief_Tyrol_]

misprint tech?

[@BeansHambone]

It's a really cool hidden detail. I don't think a lot of people know about it yet

[@nickdalts]

How did I not know jokers being arranged properly matters... I've been playing around 30 hours. Man I suck lol

[@David-cz9ej]

I can't move jokers in the mobile version on android...

[@BeansHambone]

I am able to. Were you able to figure it out?

[@gebb]

Me watching this even though I have Gold Stake in 10+ decks

[@BeansHambone]

Woot woot! Congrats, that's some serious work. You working on Black Deck? Black deck on Gold stake was a nightmare for me

[@mrstuprigge]

Omg I just noticed that there’s a difference between plus mult and x mult I’m such a moron lol

[@BeansHambone]

we've all been there. Always something new to learn in this game

[@omgwerockhard]

I find the start is just to play ante 1 without purchasing anything money is so important.

[@tysonK]

I just learned you can move jokers as the hand scores, so you can get a mult blueprint and x blueprint if you slow game speed and drag joker over. Crazy or you can get mime to work twice with your mult and mime for example, for HUGE scores

[@BeansHambone]

Yeah, it's wild stuff. I had a run where I would end each hand by moving my blueprint to my reserved parking. With a deck of all kings, I would score big and get good money

[@mmazurr]

Why am i watching this video about a game i have 250 hours in. Good advice though. Heres a pro tip: when you are in a blind you will see a small/big/boss blind chip on the left side of the screen. You can click on this and drag it around screen. This does not affect gameplay in any way at all but its pretty neat.

[@BeansHambone]

I love all these little easter eggs

[@chonker.]

ngl i didn't even know plus mult and times mult was different... i thought they both just added to the multiplier. i'm so cooked, no wonder i've only won one game out of the 60+ hours i've poured into this game

[@jakemostad872]

The blocking mechanic is so unintuitive...what's its purpose?

[@mpomp6378]

You want a specific planet card (for example Earth for Full House). You open celestial packs and check the shop and never draw an Earth, but your build relies on full house. You buy 2 planets you don't use and hold them, thus taking those 2 out of the rotation you give a higher chance at drawing an Earth card. The most important part being "whatever cards you are holding, will never show up in a pack or store."

[@BeansHambone]

Yes! Well said!

[@Lailoken2]

EAT YOUR BEANS!

[@BeansHambone]

You gotta!

[@DoUrden09]

This is so stupid. This is a roguelike... the goal is to discover it as you go. If you knew it in advance, it would ruin the game.

[@sethmober]

Are there any players who don't know what Hanging Chad's name and design is referencing..... Just curious

[@BeansHambone]

A hanging chad is a fragment from a punch-card ballot which has not detached fully, resulting in an incomplete and therefore invalid ballot. So maybe it triggers twice because a hanging chad can look like you voted twice? Not sure

[@sethmober]

@@BeansHambone that might be it. But I'm pretty sure the term Hanging Chad only became popular during the election of 2000 against Gore & Bush
