About this game

In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.

At the heart of Ark Nova are 255 cards featuring animals, specialists, unique enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a particular ability. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and to collect conservation points. Each player has a set of action cards, which you will use and upgrade to carry out your plans.

Each player has a set of five action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. The cards are:

BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions.

ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.

CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards).

ASSOCIATION: Allows your association workers to carry out different tasks.

SPONSORS: Allows you to play a sponsor card in your zoo or to raise money.

With high replayability and rich components, Ark Nova provides a remarkable gaming experience that will bring the game to the table again and again.

After playing the physical board game I was hooked. Playing this on mobile can be tricky for a small screen and often requires a restart or refresh when switching between apps, which can be annoying at times. Please bring in the Marine expansion so we can have a complete experience.

One of the best board game adaptations. I play the solo mode and despite losing very often on the harder modes I come back to it again and again. A challenge but not impossible and so satisfying when to get that 100+ score

This app is really good for the most part but there is a bug where I cannot select the scoring card when I do the challenges. sometimes it shows up and won't let me select and sometimes it just never shows up at all. Please fix this as I've lost several games due to this bug .
