Game Details

Return to the garden of your childhood to build a tableau of Ladybird Cards! The roses are overgrown, the orchard is crawling with aphids, and only your old friends — the ladybirds — can help restore the garden to its former beauty. Over five summer days you’ll place cards to grow your tableau of ladybird types and rekindle old memories. Each round, players simultaneously reveal a card, place it into one of five colored columns, then perform one of the available garden actions. Completing a full ladybird life cycle (egg → larva → pupa → adult) or clearing aphids from orchard cards boosts the value of your ladybirds. Tension builds as players compete for the right ladybird type and color before opponents snag them first. Score bonus points by completing sets of all five colors, feeding specific ladybird types, and unlocking forgotten childhood memories.
