From BoardGameGeek

Lepidoptery is a climbing, deck-shedder and connection game for 2 players. Players try to form 4-in-a-row on the board in their own player color, or shed out their deck to win. Take turns playing stronger and stronger combinations while dropping tokens into the columns matching your played combination types. Unlike many climber-shedders, you are allowed to play combinations of different types on each other (e.g., sets on singles). As columns fill up, their combination types become blocked from play, and any previously filled columns are emptied. -description from the designer
