Watch “Logic & Lore + Variance Expansion,” a board game review for Logic & Lore from Jamie, Tabletoptiktok on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Jamie, Tabletoptiktok on YouTube:
Logic & Lore from @weirdgiraffegames is one of the best deduction games I have ever played. I love that it is straightforward in your goal but so many decisions to make in the questions you ask and how you go about it to accomplish your goal before your opponent. This is a wonderful two player only game because you can each play on different difficulties so familiar players don't have a huge advantage over newer players. They are back on Kickstarter with the Variance expansion which introduces dice, probability, and new questions to ask. You can get super mathy in your deduction or be more reckless like me and just go for it. You can mix and match all of the parts and it is just so good! You get so much in the base box and so much in the expansion that this is not a game you can tire of! Go check out the campaign and consider becoming a backer!!

About Logic & Lore, from BoardGameGeek:
Logic & Lore is a cozy-but-competitive deduction game for two players.
Rivals race to be the first to align their hidden stars, numbered 1-9. Each player has dragons and mice working together to organize the cosmos: they send their dragons out to gather information and the mice stay back to take notes and make conclusions based on the knowledge brought back by their dragons.
Players each start with their set of cards face-down and shuffled. The game ends when either one player aligns all of their cards correctly OR a player chooses to reveal all of their cards. If the cards are correct, they win; otherwise, their opponent wins.
A player's turn is made up of the following steps:
Choose Focus - Pick two cards to find more information
Search the Skies - Ask questions about the cards
Move the Heavens - Move cards to new locations - (Optional)
Align the Stars (Optional)
If a player either thinks that all of their cards are aligned, they reveal all of their face-down cards and, if they are all correct, they win. Otherwise, they lose.
