Insecta: The Ladies of Entomology celebrates the scientists who advanced the study of insects. Players select insect and target cards, build collections around shared and personal goals, and arrange specimens so their traits and locations satisfy increasingly valuable patterns. Every card can strengthen one line while closing another, turning the tableau into a layered optimization puzzle. Biographical material links the mechanisms to the real women whose fieldwork, collections, and discoveries shaped entomology.
