Read full description

Variance is a minimal solitaire game about probability and persistence. Draw a card. If it matches, the run ends. If it doesn’t, you continue. Clear the deck to win. One bad draw and the run is over. It’s a solitary game at its simplest. No levels. No upgrades. No downtime. Just you, the deck, and the odds. Play. Lose. Play again.
