Worst case, maybe PEGI 12? And then, only because parents might be somehow offended by poker hands, and that gives them a chance to check the reasoning.
Yup. I personally haven’t taught my kids poker hands because it’s not a very fun game IMO, especially for kids. It’s basically a bluffing game, and there are far more interesting bluffing games out there.
I have no problems with my kids learning poker hands, but the game needs to actually be fun, which Balatro is.
Perform to standard, instead of lowering the standard.
There’s no possible rational standard where balatro could theoretically be age restricted.
It’s dressed up solitaire.

I would genuinely look at a parent saying their kid isn’t old enough to learn poker hands exactly the same as if they said it about cribbage or rummy.
It’s nonsense.

If that’s dressed up solitaire then Vegas is slovenly solitaire.
You’re not gambling🤦♀️
Gambling is what kids shouldn’t be able to do.
Playing at gambling isn’t good either.
I agree with you completely!
My modest proposal is that if a child is caught flipping a coin their hands should be cut off on the spot.
Lmao
Ignoring that that’s complete bullshit, balatro doesn’t even pretend to gamble.
Fine point, I’m all for raising all of those games to 18+. But I guess this isn’t first of many but an exception to the rule.
