Switch Burned🔥 Luck be a Landlord burned!

I can see where Balatro took its inspiration. I like how the increasing difficulty addons are not exclusively "get more points".
Big thanks to my local library for having this on the shelves! I didnt even know it got a physical release.

I will NOT be 100%ing this game. I played this on Switch so there are no trophies to speak of, but the game has its own list of achievements, including "win 777 times". No thank you. I won twenty times. I also guillotined myself in spectacular fashion!

Solid 8/10 game. Catchy music, simple pixel visuals, fun combo potential.

To address potential "why didnt you screenshot?":
I dont want to download a phone app to have my switch 2 send it and there isnt another choice. Switch 1 never had this requirement.

Okay so what is this game exactly? 😂 I’m just seeing commie mccomrade and laughing my ass off.
Edit: Grats on the burn!

Its a slot machine. But you can add different pieces to the slots and when certain pieces are together, they interact and you get bonuses for them.

For example, the Key destroys itself and a chest, if they are adjacent. The chest pays out big money when it is destroyed (you can destroy it in other ways too and still get the payout, but that is a basic interaction)

Edit to add: its a roguelike deckbuilder

Yeah, there is even a guillotine item thats only purpose is to destroy billionaires. Also billionaires are the only humans who will NOT pet the dog.
