June Update

Manufacturing
The Logic & Lore files have been submitted, reviewed, and are in progress of getting fixed so that they can get submitted again. Communications with manufacturing have taken far longer than expected, but the issues that happened last month are now better as responses back from the manufacturer have been a lot faster this week than it was before.
There's a few surprises that are in the works that we hope to announce next month!
Pledge Manager & Print and Play
The current plan is to have the pledge manager out sometime in July or August. With the pledge manager, the final print and play should also be released.
In Closing
Here's the intended plan of things that we plan to get done by the next update:
- All the fixes submitted and accepted by manufacturing
- The proof copy on the way (or received!)
- Pledge Manager sent out or close to sending
If you have any questions, please let us know! The very best way to reach us now that the KS is over is via our helpdesk: https://weirdgiraffegames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

Artwork, Rulebook, & A Solar Eclipse!
10 months ago
– Fri, Apr 26, 2024 at 09:22:04 AM
What a month it's been! In addition to the Solar Eclipse on April 8th, our team has been working hard to get all the artwork finalized. Messages have been flying like comets back and forth as we finalize details making icons, reference cards, and little easter egg details work together in a way that will elevate the game. Here is a sneak peek at current art for the playmat:
Rulebook Proofing
We are in the home stretch of reviewing the art files and rulebook before we submit files to manufacturing for our first official proof, but we want your input! We already know how to play, but rulebooks need to help first time players jump into the game as well. Help take a look at our current version, see what sticks out as being unclear, or any other issues: Logic & Lore Rulebook
Pledge Manager
Once the pledge manager is ready and we are close to manufacturing, we will send out invites, which is the system you will use to pay for shipping, as well as having an opportunity to add on some of our previous titles. Whatever amount you pledged now, will be credited to you in pledge manager, so you will be able to easily pick and choose the items you want.
This is typically later in the process than with most other publishers, but don't worry! We simply want to know exactly the climate we'll be shipping in AND we want to make it easy for all the people that move.
Discord
We have a Discord server! You can join here: https://discord.gg/V5ZwdK3 We'll have contests, giveaways, design and publisher talk, and random chats there, so if that interests you, you're welcome to join! It's one of the easiest ways to see all the most up to date things with Weird Giraffe Games, as we're posting in there daily!
Again, Thank You!
Logic & Lore is becoming a reality because of you. Thank you for your pledges, your enthusiasm, and your support. You have helped us create a rather amazing game and we definitely appreciate it.

The Logic & Lore Campaign is a Success! THANK YOU!
11 months ago
– Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 09:30:05 PM
Thank you so much! What a fantastic finish to a great campaign: 824 backers and $25,380! It has been so rewarding to receive such a fantastic response. We are so proud of Logic & Lore and cannot wait for you to receive the game and get a chance to play it.
Campaign Status
We have updated the main campaign image to be the status image for the campaign. You'll be able to quickly check the status of everything, so you won't have to go through all the updates to know where we're at. We do hope you'll read the updates, though!
You have to be on desktop to see the Campaign Status image on the main Kickstarter page, as it doesn't show on mobile.
It will take about 2 weeks for Kickstarter to process and send us all of the funds, during that time we will be working hard to finalize things for manufacturing, pledge manager, and late pledges. The planned update schedule will be to post an update every month to keep you informed with what's going on. (Every month is what we try to do, but it also means that there might be more than 4 weeks between updates, if one update happens early in the month and the next happens late in the month.)
If you have not received an email from Kickstarter already, please take a look at your Kickstarter account to verify that everything is in order with your pledge. If there was an issue, I'll be sending out messages later today and I can send you another one next week. If you have a different financial situation than when we launched for whatever reason and still want to get Logic & Lore, let me know; I can still get you into the pledge manager later on.
Pledge Manager
Once the pledge manager is ready and we are close to manufacturing, we will send out invites, which is the system you will use to pay for shipping, as well as having an opportunity to add on some of our previous titles. Whatever amount you pledged now, will be credited to you in pledge manager, so you will be able to easily pick and choose the items you want.

In Closing
Things are moving along! We're on track to meet the October 2024 deadline. Delays will most likely happen at some point, as no process goes perfectly.
Here's what we're hoping to get done by the next update:
- All Illustration and Graphic Design Finalized
- Rules Ready for Review

Last Week of the Campaign!
11 months ago
– Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 02:24:49 PM
Final Stretch
We're in the last few days of the campaign and we've hit a stretch goal since the last update! Thanks to everyone who has backed, shared, and supported us along the way!
If there's anyone you think might be interested in a 2 player deduction game with dragons, personal difficulty levels, and multiple modes of play, please share the campaign with them today and we'll for sure get to those last stretch goals.
Unlocked: Wish I May
Wish I May adds in the Mice Wish cards and Mouse Tokens! Each player will get one Wish card, each of which has three numbers, and when their opponent asks about one of the values on their Wish card, they may choose to take a Mouse Token. Once any player has three Tokens, they take an additional turn. However, if you figure out what is on your opponent's Wish card, you can learn more about your own cards, so you might not always want to take a Mouse Token!
Next Goal: Wish I Might
Wish I Might includes the Red Giant cards, which work similarly to the Black Holes... but always return the answer of Yes. They definitely add a layer of complexity to the game, as you have to figure out if you're getting a true positive answer or a red giant positive answer. Plus, you can play with them AND Black Holes for a super challenge!
Social Goals
We're definitely making progress on the social goals, which are especially important now that the Wish I May level was reached and there's only days left for the campaign! If we reach at least 6 of the social goals, we can upgrade to mouse meeples, instead of chipboard for the Wish I May pieces we've unlocked!
We've made significant progress on BGG Likes, BlueSky Followers, Facebook Group Members, Discord Members, Facebook Likes, and 6 goals are all that's needed, which is super exciting! Plus, if one goal is made and continues progressing, it could count twice!

Favorite Constellations
We've heard about your favorite celestial objects, but what about your favorite constellations? Let us know in the main comments section! The Draco constellation is currently on the box, but there could be more constellations incorporated, either to the box or gameplay.
Favorite Mice
Based on the feedback so far, your favorite mice are A, C, and E! Thanks to everyone who posted their comments! If you haven't, definitely head to the main comments and let us know your top 3!
Thank you all very much!
Once again - thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has backed, helped spread the word, and helped to make our goal of creating Logic & Lore come true.
Please reach out, either via comments or email ([email protected])! Thank you all so much!

Stretch Goals!
12 months ago
– Tue, Mar 12, 2024 at 08:03:07 PM
Hello, all! Thanks so much for being patient while I traveled from GAMA, then recovered from the convention after getting sick! It seems that things don't always go exactly as planned, but I'm at least excited to say that some things did!
First, since the campaign has done so well so far, I've decided we will include the following:
- Higher Quality Cards: 350 GSM. Typical cards are 300 gsm or lower, but these should be some pretty sturdy cards.
- Shelf Box. If you've seen some of our latest microgames, they all come in a cool little shelf box, to make it easy to travel and not have the boxes open when you least expect. Now Logic & Lore is more travel friendly!
Stretch Goals
Now, what goals do we have to look forward to? Well...
First up is the Wish I May addition, which adds in the Mice Wish cards and Mouse Tokens! Each player will get one Wish card, each of which has three numbers, and when their opponent asks about one of the values on their Wish card, they may choose to take a Mouse Token. Once any player has three Tokens, they take an additional turn. However, if you figure out what is on your opponent's Wish card, you can learn more about your own cards, so you might not always want to take a Mouse Token!
More information will be shared on the other goals in the next update!
Social Goals
Let's make that Wish I May level just a bit more! If we reach at least 6 of the below goals, we can upgrade to mouse meeples, instead of chipboard!
Click the links below and share, like, and join in on the fun!
Which of the above mice meeples would you love to have added to the game? In fact... what are your top 3? Let us know in the main comments section! I'd love to know which are your favorites, as there's definitely some choices on what could be in the game.
If you're a fan of celestial objects, I'd also love to hear which ones are your favorite that haven't been incorporated into the game yet! Please let me know in the main comments section.
Thank you all very much!
Once again - thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has backed, helped spread the word, and helped to make our goal of creating Logic & Lore come true.
