**Ben Starr Returns to Portray Jimbo in New Balatro Calendar**

In a delightful homage to the Balatro realm, Ben Starr has reprised his legendary role as Jimbo, the cherished mascot of the game, in a fresh 12-month calendar. This distinctive calendar, showcasing an array of Jokers from the game, is a partnership involving LocalThunk, Playstack, Fangamer, and Starr himself. Recognized for his roles in various promotional content, such as the “Friends of Jimbo” trailer, Starr’s participation stems purely from his passion for the Balatro universe, as affirmed by LocalThunk and Playstack.

The calendar serves not only as a collector’s item for enthusiasts but also as a philanthropic effort. All proceeds from Playstack and LocalThunk will be allocated to SpecialEffect and Extra Life. SpecialEffect is acclaimed for its efforts in improving the lives of those with physical disabilities through technology, while Extra Life provides essential healthcare funding to local member hospitals. Furthermore, Fangamer will donate $5 for every calendar sold through its store.

Additionally, Balatro has embarked on a crossover with the popular title Vampire Survivors. The update, named “The Ante Chamber,” is available at no cost and brings four new characters, including Jimbo, into the roguelike mayhem of Survivors.

The Balatro calendar can be exclusively purchased on Fangamer for $19 and is currently available. Fans of the game and advocates for the charities can buy it to relish a year of Jimbo and the Jokers while supporting significant causes.
