Any game like this?
I love this game, is there any game like it?

Most of the card games I see on Steam are either very childish or always the same.

This game and inscryption are a relief.

If anyone has tips, I welcome them!

You might try Luck Be a Landlord. It's not a card game, but imagine if Balatro was built around changing the rules of a slot machine. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Luck be a Landlord is literally the 2nd reply in the thread I linked. And 6th and 7th.

Slaythespire may be.

Yep, and Bingle Bingle is the 5th.

Wildfrost is also a very good game that is not a clone of Slay the Spire.
Don't be fooled by the graphics, this game is truly a challenge.

Poker Quest looks interesting, but for some reason I didn't like it.
Ring of Pain is an another interesting and very original project.

If you want something more challenging, Through the Ages, Spirit Island and Dune Imperium are excellent alternatives.

I must aggressively and vehemently argue that Spirit Island should not be a single player experience as it was intrinsically designed to have too much information available for one player to play every spirit simultaneously, to avoid table top quarterbacking.

Also none of the mentioned titles are similar to Balatro at all.

To be honest, there's really no game like this in terms of roguelike poker and aesthetic. That's why there's 10,000+ players currently on Balatro and none on most of the aforementioned games above.

As people have already mentioned I'd say the closest and most promising looking games if you ask me, are Bingle Bingle (roulette) and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers (Black Jack). Both in EA and will hopefully get a lot of improvements in the future because they have a really solid core.

I'd also add Poker Quest: Swords and Spades which is a poker RPG/adventure that's decent enough. I haven't played a ton but I think some people would really like it.

And another random game I just came across in my discovery, and that I know nothing about other than the pictures is Calculate It. A roguelike calculator-something that seems to be very influenced by the previous casino roguelikes? I'm not a big "fan of maths" really but I will definitely check this out and might enjoy if the actual math parts aren't too mathy for my chill brain. Seems like you add/remove/improve buttons on calculators to punch in a beating score or something.

There are games similar with cards as a basis.

There are no game "like" Balatro in terms of just how good all the systems and mechanics fit together. Balatro is in a league of its own atm.

Slay the spire, slay the spire, and slay the spire..... and dicey dungeons. Dont play monster train that game looks like vomit.
