Quotes (from this video)
- Notes are a godsend.
- A lot of input randomness, but not output, which works perfect for this kind of game.
- Logic and Lore is a fantastic game that has been at least fascinating, if not a full hit with pretty much everyone that I've shown it to.
- Yeah, if you like beautiful abstracts, number puzzles, or just like living that celestial vibe, Logic and Lore is a fantastic game.
- The base game is still more pure, but this ticks some boxes for my goober gamer noggin.
- Dice are arranged as discussed, but have already been rolled and fixed in their precision.
- I'll admit in the original game, the strategic rationale that defines what's a good move versus another can sometimes be hard to intuit it.
- This expansion variance preserves the core conceit while flipping the way you approach the puzzle—in a way that adds leverage without losing the core feel.
- This is why you're coming to this expansion is now my favorite way to play this game.
- Notes are a godsend. So yeah, if you like beautiful abstracts, number puzzles, or just like living that celestial vibe, Logic and Lore is a fantastic game.
