Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Connect Four
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Climbing Shedding — Players play cards in melds (singles, pairs, triples, runs of three) and to beat a previous meld, one must play a card with a higher lowest value than the previous meld's lowest value.
- Connect Four — A Connect Four grid is used, and players win by getting four in a row diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.
- deck management — Players have their own deck of cards, numbered 1-10, and shedding the entire deck is a win condition.
- Hand Management — Players have a hand of cards (around 12) and must manage them to make plays.
- Set Collection — Forming specific melds like pairs or runs is part of the gameplay.
- Wild cards — Wild cards can be used to substitute for other cards, but they are single-use until the player passes.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is actually a third play review here.
- I haven't played a game quite like this before.
- It's actually very simple, but you are trying to beat your opponent while also putting these tokens down, trying to get the connect fours, and it's a fascinating little puzzle.
- This game feels different as soon as you start playing it because of the way this climbing system works.
- I strongly recommend this one

Quotes (from this video)
- Lepodoptery is a really unique climber shedder that it's not just about getting those cards out of your hand, but it's about playing specific combinations in order to manipulate another board that is essentially a game of connect 4.
- It's just a really interesting marriage of ideas between playing cards, but also so trying to line things up in a traditional abstract fashion.
