Balatro is a poker roguelike that lets you test your luck and strategy as you battle increasingly harder Blinds. While the game is randomized every time, you can input a seed that lets you customize your experience like you can in other randomly generated games.
How to play a Seeded run in Balatro
To input a seed in Balatro and change your run to match someone else’s, click the Seeded Run button at the bottom of the menu when starting a new run. It’s to the left of the Play button. This will disable all unlocks and discoveries, but you’ll get access to some of the craziest shops and item combinations that Balatro players have discovered.
