Ladybugs is a tactical area-control game where players lead a team of ladybugs to occupy a blooming meadow. Although the theme is charming and family-friendly, the gameplay is a sharp, abstract challenge. Players must skillfully place their ladybug tokens on flower tiles, aiming to have the highest numerical value in each area to score points. It is a modernized and re-themed successor to the acclaimed game Glüx, blending simple rules with deep tactical planning.

Placement: Each turn, you place a ladybug token on the board, moving a number of spaces determined by the value of your previously played token.
Area Majority: The board consists of various flowerbeds. To "control" a bed, the sum of the numbers on your ladybugs in that area must be higher than your opponents'.
Blocking: You can strategically place tokens to block your opponents' paths or occupy key spaces they need to expand.
Scoring: Points are awarded at the end of the game based on who dominates each flowerbed. The most influential ladybug team wins!
Conquer the meadow with strategy and style! Tactically place your ladybugs to control the most beautiful flowerbeds in this clever and colorful battle for area majority.
Tactical Depth vs. Simple Rules: Easy to learn in minutes, but every placement requires careful thought to block opponents and secure high-value flowerbeds.
Modular & Dynamic: Includes special modules like the "Spider" or "Lucky Clover," which change the game's dynamics and add new layers of complexity for experienced players.
High-Quality Components: Features beautifully illustrated tiles and optional high-quality wooden ladybug sets that make the game visually stunning on the table.
