A speck of dust can contain 3x10 to the twelfth power (3 trillion) atoms. So, that is just for one piece of dust. Now, imagine how many pieces of dust it would take to make up your game pieces and board for just 1 copy of a variant. So, some might argue, that variants can be conceptualized and require no consumption of atoms. But there are quite a few atoms involved with conceptualization, which requires an electro-chemical thought process. Just something to think about before one runs off to try making more variants than there are atoms.
