Vouchers are a type of item that can be purchased from the shop in Balatro in between Blinds. They can modify your run in a variety of ways, although not every one of them is available right from the start. Some Vouchers will need to be unlocked before they can be bought, but it's not entirely clear how you're supposed to get them all.

Vouchers can make or break a run, so you definitely want to add them to your collection. In this guide, we'll show you how to unlock every Voucher as well as explain what they all do.

How To Buy Upgraded Vouchers From The Shop In Balatro

There are 32 Vouchers you can find in Balatro. However, of these Vouchers, 16 are common Vouchers you'll find in any shop and are unlocked from the start of the game. The other 16 are upgraded variants of those Vouchers that need to be unlocked. To find the upgraded variants in the shop, you need to buy the normal Voucher first. If you're lucky, the upgraded version of that Voucher will appear in a later shop.

For example, if you bought the Grabber Voucher in the shop, then its variant, the Nacho Tong, may show up in shops after later Blinds or Antes. Just know that even if you buy the normal Voucher, there's no guarantee that the upgraded Voucher will become available for purchase. You'll just have to hope that the gods of random chance are kind to you.

How To Unlock Every Voucher In Balatro

To unlock every upgraded Voucher, you must complete specific challenges. Once these are finished, the Voucher will be added to the pool of items that can show up in the shop. Here's how to find every one of them:
