	Description Edit \| History

It's up to you and your ladybug helper to rid your beautiful flower from the pesky aphids.

In this rummy variant, created for younger players, players collect different sets of coloured ladybugs. For each set laid, your ladybug is moved to a leaf. All aphids that are on that leaf become ladybug lunch and can be removed from your flower. The first player to rid their flower from all the aphids is the winner!
