To start using Tarot cards, you first need to acquire them. The primary method is through purchasing Arcana Packs available in the Shop. You'll also find individual Tarot cards for sale in the Shop from time to time. Another way to snag these cards is by discarding a card with a Purple Seal, which can yield a Tarot card as a reward.

Using Tarot Cards

Tarot cards are consumable items, meaning you can use them immediately upon acquisition. They're located in the top right corner of your screen. When you select a Tarot card, a selection of cards that it can affect will appear. You'll then choose the number of cards specified by the Tarot card, confirm your selection, and watch as the Tarot card's effects are applied to your chosen cards.

All Tarot Cards

*Balatro* features 22 unique Tarot cards, each with its own distinct effect. Here's a comprehensive list to help you understand what each card can do for your game:
