I suppose playing cards in Europe are considered “gambling materials” under that logic and aren’t allowed to be sold to people under 18? That would be absurd.

I would if they were selling them with chips and instructions on betting.
Instructions on betting can be easily found online, and most pick-up games use cash anyway. No kid is going through all the effort of using chips if they’re going to gamble, so getting chips may actually be a deterrent for getting into gambling.
You don’t even need instructions on betting, betting or wagering is something that people can figure out on their own quite easily, the behavior is often demonstrated in real life in other non-gambling scenarios “I bet ya can’t climb that tree”, so if we assume a game about playing cards can be considered gambling, than the assumption that Playing cards themselves would also be considered gambling materials seems plausible, but it is meant to highlight the absurdity of the situation.

But Balatro doesn’t do that, so how is this a valid addition to the analogy?
There is zero betting in Balatro.
I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this user is a troll.
nah, they’re just THAT dense and have no idea what they’re talking about…not a troll, just too dumb to realize they’re being dumb…
That wasn’t the question posed. As has been said over and over Balatro is more than just “evil cards”
Why?

Because that’s what tips that product over the line, as sold.
Balatro features no wagering or betting of any kind.
