## Description

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. 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 in question are: CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards). BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions. ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo. 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. 255 cards featuring animals, specialists, special enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a special ability, are at the heart of Ark Nova. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and collect conservation points.

Review: Great game, thoroughly enjoyed it. Makes sense as to why it's #2 overall in Board Game Geek.
Review: Uno de los mejores Euros. Es un juegazo con una gran variedad de cartas que te permiten crear tu zoológico, mecánicas excelentes y buena rejugabilidad. Aunque si es importante estar familiarizado con el idioma porque depende mucho de él, y sin duda no es para jugadores que apenas inician en este mundo. Pero qué más puedo decir, por algo es de los mejores valorados

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this to add 2 more players?**
A: Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 1 is  containing 2 double-sided Zoo Maps #9 (Geographical Zoo) and #10 (Rescue Station) which means one pack will allow you to play with two players on each of these maps.
*Ark Nova is required to use this product.

**Q: How long to set the game up? by the time i set up scyth or civilization, i've got no more time left to play.**
A: I'd say about the same set-up time as Scyth.  Guessing about 10 minutes.  Of course, the more times you play the quicker set-up goes.  Plus it helps when others you play with become more familiar with the game so they can help.

**Q: Is the pre-order for the Marine Worlds expansion the English version? The cards in the photo are in German.**
A: I'm not sure. This is for the base game only so you'd have to ask about that on the marine worlds expansion post.

**Q: Will this game fit on a 3.5x3.5 ft table for two players?**
A: No - this game takes alot of space!
