Billionaires “don’t have souls,” Luck Be A Landlord rulesIf a video game says it, it must be true
If a video game says it, it must be true
I’vewritten before about Luck Be A Landlord, a deck-building roguelikelike where you create a fruit machine that’ll hopefully pay your ever-increasing rent. It feels an inevitable endpoint of an often-random genre yet is more complicated than it might sound, with the many different symbols and items buffing, changing, and destroying each other. This leads to strange and wonderful situations like the latest patch notes explaining that Billionaires no longer leave Spirits because, and I quote, “they don’t have souls.” Possibly true.

Luck Be A Landlord has dozens of reel symbols and items to draft, everything from your classic fruits and gems to grave robbers and bees and bartenders and soap and witches. Certain symbols and items interact with each other to pay out vital bonus money, so you’re trying to build a complex machine which cannot help but have a weird theme.
Now, along with noting a delay for a planned new mode and details on balance tweaks,Friday’s patch noteshave explained:
Billionaires no longer drop Spirits when the player has the Shrine item because they don’t have souls.
That’s official, then. They wouldn’t let you say it in a video game if it wasn’t true. I do likeweird patch notes.
Luck Be A Landlord ison Steam Early Accessfor £7/€8/$10. Oh, and thanks to “treat” for the comment pointing out that if you bought the excellentIndie bundle For Palestinian Aid on Itchthis month, you got the game in that.
