Ark Nova is a strategy board game where players plan and build a modern, scientifically managed zoo. The goal is to create the most successful zoological establishment by building enclosures, housing animals, and supporting conservation projects worldwide.
Players manage their gameplay using five action cards: BUILD (for enclosures and kiosks), ANIMALS (to accommodate animals), CARDS (to gain new zoo cards), ASSOCIATION (for association worker tasks), and SPONSORS (to play sponsor cards or raise money).
The objective is to have the most successful zoological establishment. This is achieved by increasing the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo, collecting conservation points, and completing conservation projects.
The game features high replayability due to its rich components and the variety offered by 255 unique cards. These cards include animals, specialists, unique enclosures, and conservation projects, each with particular abilities, ensuring a different experience each time.
