The Ladybug's Costume Party (Kinderspiel des Jahres 2002 winner)*
In each round, players spin the spinner on the board. If it points to one of the eight ladybugs, the player can move that ladybug to visit others. Each ladybug figure has a magnet in its nose, allowing them to swap places if they "like" each other. If they do not get along, the turn ends. Once a ladybug collects five different colored points, it is ready for the ball and is removed from the game. Players win when all ladybugs are ready. If the spinner lands on a smaller leaf, the player cannot move ladybugs and must advance ants instead. If all seven ants board the ship, the players lose.
Nominated for 3 awards and won 1.
