Balatro—the poker roguelite sensation that took the gaming world by storm in 2024—has introduced a new set of Joker cards inspired by Dead by Daylight as part of the Friends of Jimbo 4 update. These DBD-themed cards join other collaborations featuring Assassin’s Creed, Bugsnax, Critical Role, Fallout, Rust, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, and the eerie narrative horror game Slay the Princess.
Like the other collaborative decks, Balatro’s Dead by Daylight cards are themed around a specific suit—in this case, Clubs—and feature three iconic killers:
Jack of Clubs – The Legion
Queen of Clubs – The Huntress
King of Clubs – The Trapper
