Balatro is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play illegal poker hands, discover game-changing jokers, and trigger adrenaline-pumping, outrageous combos. We love it!
Jimbo is here!
That's why we decided to add our version of Balatro's most prominent Joker Jimbo to Backpack Battles:
Jimbo is a Playing Card, which means you can buy him in the shop when you play as Reaper and have a Deck of Cards in your inventory. His effect changes based on the cards before him in the card chain - you need sets of two, three, or four of the same playing cards. To make the most use of him, place him late in the card chain and count the number of pairs, triplets, and quads.
Harlequin Reaper Outfit
And that's not all - this update also comes with a new Poker-themed outfit for the Reaper - dress her up as Harlequin! As always, you can unlock it in the Wardrobe with trophies, and mix-and-match it with the other outfits!
Both Jimbo and the outfit are part of version 0.9.2c which is live now!
