There are several achievements you can unlock as you play through Balatro, but getting them all can be challenging. The descriptions for how you unlock these achievements are vague, and we can lay out the exact information you need to know to get them all.
There are 31 achievements you can unlock in the game. Many have to do with playing the game, but you may also need to focus on a particular aspect, such as adding cards to your deck, removing them, or beating challenges that become available as you unlock decks. Here’s the full breakdown of all Balatro achievements and how you get them.
All Balatro achievements and how to get them
The achievements in Balatro vary in difficulty. Some are simply about completing a run at least once, and others require you to earn 80 cards in your deck, only have 20 cards in your deck, or reach up to 100,000,000 chips when you complete a single hand. How you get there is up to you; there’s a lot of random chance in this card game. But the more you play, the easier it becomes as you discover cards and find ways to increase your score. Jokers and Vouchers play a huge factor in increasing your score.
