About Ark Nova
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.

Beautiful but..
This game is so complicated that it makes Magic The gathering look like child’s play. When you spend more time closing windows that obscure the play field, you know there’s a problem. How anyone could play this on the phone is beyond me, and I was using an iPad. Every time you think you understand something more details are added that look like somebody just thought them up and said oh “that sounds good.” I want my games to be fun and enjoyable not complicated and frustrating. I had to ask for a refund on this one. And I rarely ask for refunds on any of my apps. I’ve played many Dire wolf games and most of them are great. This one needs a little less minutia.
