i really wish more people could tell the difference between a balatro and an arcade roguelike, because one has an awesome ability to be in tune with the spirit of arcade games of the past and the other very much does not

i guess overall i hear a lot of people go "ugh another fucking roguelite" but i think the roguelite is kinda the best place for a lot of old arcade gameplay to move to in this era, because all it has to be is "we added a little bit of randomness to shake things up" and that's a good thing!

great examples of this: pronoun palace, which is first and foremost a good word game store.steampowered.com/app/3618850/... and tape to tape, which is just old school NHL console goodness store.steampowered.com/app/1566200/... the formulas in them are fun EVEN WITHOUT all the weird shit

meanwhile, your balatro-likes don't really have any base skill challenge gameplay. they're pure statistical games, just rigging the odds for or against yourself, deciding when to push. which are also really fun, but a very, very different kind of fun

dora is fun extra points. Don't even mention ura dora. Do that like game 5 or whenever it comes up. All the other yaku you can now mention, but remind them that these are all bonus points; the base ones are what they need to be allowed to score. Now they gotta combine yaku to get the biggest hand

This game is just to reinforce "you need to find one of these to win". When the game ends, check which one they got, congratulate them on finding one, and then explain scoring; since that yaku is worth X han, they get Y points. Do not explain fu. Tell them fu is a mystery to us all.

game 2: limited yaku. Still no scoring, only goal is to GET one, because "you need one to win" Only explain the simplest ones; toitoi, straight, tanyao, dragons, the two wind triplets that matter, half/full flush and Most Importantly Riichi

okay first step for speedrunning key fairy is done complete map of the game. now i just gotta plan out routes for any% and all endings

fun thing i did here: key fairy is a monochrome game with just black and white (well... mostly, :P ) but it lets you set color palettes in the menu you can unlock in game so, i used those colors as a vague key for my map so i can remember where stuff is! just switched before taking screenshots.
