Plinko Poker: Nubby x Balatro

Nubby's Number Factory comes to Balatro.

Factory Deck. After every hand scores, you aim and drop Nubby through a peg board beside your cards. Pegs carry numbers like in Nubby's and pay +Chips, +Mult, xMult or money. Nubby only gets three shots: the deck has -1 hand each round.

25 of Nubby's items as Jokers. Kazoo, Evil Goose, Flame Thrower, Jake the Snake, Pregnancy Test (a second Nubby!) and more, with their real names and art. Their effects work on the board: doubling pegs, blowing up rows, extra drops. On the Factory Deck the shop leans towards them.

Nubby's own sounds and factory backdrop while you play.

You need

• Balatro (Melty installs the Lovely loader for you).
• Nubby's Number Factory installed through Steam on the same PC. The mashup reads Nubby's items, art and sounds from your own copy while it runs; none of Nubby's content is in this download. Without it, the Factory Deck tells you the factory is closed.

The first launch spends about half a minute unpacking Nubby's art and sounds; after that it's instant.

How to play
