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.

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.

v1.2.0.920

love the game. But Digital version has an ongoing issue with playing a second Association during a game when you have done one previously (not same turn) - couldn't play an assocation at all, even with all conditions ready - ruins experience in competitive play - until fixed 1 star

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 .

v1.0.6

What a wonderful adaptation of one of my top three favorite boardgames. Really well done. The AI is challenging without cheating and the Malus Mode adds a distinct asymmetrical penalty. I have not played online against another human, so I can't say how it fairs.

v1.0.6

This adaptation has an awful layout. You can't see any information without having to move to a different screen. It takes so long to figure out the status of the game every single turn
