Every Balatro Joker
Jokers are the lifeblood of any Balatro run. These cards have their own slot where the player can hold them and the size of these slots varies depending on the chosen deck or difficulty. Jokers can be found in Stores, Buffoon Booster Packs, and certain Spectral or Tarot cards.
The amount of Jokers you're allowed to hold throughout any given run is not static, as there are ways to increase these slots through means like giving the Negative condition to Jokers you already have. Jokers themselves range offer wide array of abilities, oftentimes bolstering your score when playing hands, but can usually give you ways to give extra money or other consumables.
While a majority of Jokers in the game will always be available to find in any run, some Jokers are locked away and will not appear until you've performed specific actions. Similar to playing cards, Jokers have the chance to either appear or be given a Modifier in the form of Editions, which will help contribute to your overall scoring.
Here's a list of every Joker in the game and how to unlock any that don't naturally appear.
