Balatro is a poker-esque roguelike deck builder where you collect Jokers, Tarot cards, and other special items to create combos and score massive points. Every run is different, and you can customize your deck at the shop between Blinds to further improve your chances of winning.

Enough joking around in this indie card game.
PostsThe shop also features items called Vouchers, which give powerful, persistent upgrades to your run. Half are unlocked by default, but the other half require you to complete specific, sometimes obtuse, objectives during your runs. Below, we'll take a look at every Voucher's effect, and how to unlock it.
How To Unlock Every Voucher
There are 32 Vouchers in Balatro, categorized into 16 pairs of two. Every Voucher essentially has a normal and upgraded version to form one pair. For example, Overstock is paired with Overstock Plus, which both have similar, but stacking, effects.
The normal versions of each Voucher are all unlocked by default, but their upgraded versions require you to complete certain objectives during runs.
Additionally, to find the upgraded version of a Voucher during a run, you must first obtain its normal version. For example, to see Glow Up during a run, you'll first need to get Hone. Of course, you need to unlock Glow Up before it will appear as well.

How To Get Vouchers
Every Ante, one Voucher will appear in the shop, which can be purchased for $10. Whether you buy or don't buy the Voucher, once you defeat the Boss Blind of that Ante, it will be replaced with another. This means, in a typical winning run, you'll have the chance to get eight Vouchers.
If you continue to Endless Mode after winning, you can keep collecting Vouchers after each Boss Blind shop refresh.
Additionally, you can also prematurely refresh the shop using the Voucher Tag, earned by skipping a Blind that has it. This will add a Voucher to the next shop, giving you the potential to collect more than eight Vouchers in a typical winning run.
