Balatro. It's a nice palate cleanser between bigger games or if I just want to mellow and listen to music while I game.

I binge it every now and then but I'm rather awful. I just tend to send it rather than think things through.

It wasn't my typical kind of game, but I heard good things about it and managed to pick it up for free. I managed to finish a few runs, but it never really clicked for me the way it did for others. Figuring out different synergies between jokers and getting astronomical runs was always just outside my grasp on the mechanics
