Logic & Lore: Variance is an expansion for Logic & Lore released in 2026 for 2 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Carla Kopp and its main mechanics are Deduction and Questions and Answers.
The ethereal Sprites have learned of Dragons' plan to align the cosmos and have brought the randomness of chaos to Logic & Lore. The Variance expansion adds two new modes: Star Flight and Star Sprite! Both new modes showcase Sprites, a varied set of dice, and two new sets of logic questions. These add a whole new layer to your deduction strategy - choices based on probability. Now you must weigh which dice will give you the best chance at helpful information on top of which cards and questions you choose for clues. Choose dice carefully to earn dragon tokens that unlock more powerful actions. The expansion also brings new player boards that immerse you into your Dragon persona, Dice boards, and a new notepad and token reminder system as another way to help keep track of your clues. -description from publisher
Logic & Lore: Variance supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants.

The listed playing time for Logic & Lore: Variance is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Logic & Lore: Variance for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
