## Ark Nova Description
Plan and build a modern, scientifically managed zoo to support conservation projects in an acclaimed strategy board 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.

## Ark Nova Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Clickables too small on iPad mini"
Why is everything so small on the iPad?  Is it the pc interface but on an iPad ?  Because why?
-- neo42slab, 2025-07-01

### ***** "Excellent Adaptation"
I was familiar with the board game but needed a refresher so I played the 3 tutorials pretty quick. If you are not familiar with the game, you might need to go through the tutorials a couple times as there is a lot going on to make sense of. I think people who have played the game in real life will enjoy it here. People totally new to it might find it challenging to learn, even with the tutorials, but if they stick with it, it is a very rewarding experience and satisfying game to master.
-- Gordo H Art, 2025-06-30

### ***** "Wonderful Boardgame on iOS and iPadOS"
UI is well designed, not many bugs and the team fix quick. this is a very good game for euro-game lovers. recommend for everyone. can’t wait for the aquarium dlc.
-- baconboggy, 2025-06-29

### ***** "Great for solo play"
I wish that the AI opponent got smarter as difficulty increased instead of getting more handicap. Other than that, it’s great playing Ark Nova on a phone.
-- ...___...Brett, 2025-06-27

### ***** "Overall great implementation of awesome game"
Great implementation overall, lots of fun, good animations and choice of modes. Look forward to Marine expansion being added. 

One UI suggestion would be to add a toggle in settings to enable larger UI buttons for the various modal panels. They are really hard to hit/toggle on smaller screens like the iPad Mini or iPhone. Otherwise, great job and I would highly recommend.
-- GamerFoodie, 2025-06-25

### ***** "Good Game"
My friends and I play this on PC but started off playing with the real board game, highly recommend.
-- vzyapizza, 2025-06-24

### ***-- "UI Fix needed on iPad"
Overall great implementation but tile placement is maddening on iPad. Rotating and placing often is not recognized and you have to click back and forth several times before you get lucky and hit the right pixel. Once this is fixed the game will be awesome!
-- Hbac9m, 2025-06-23

### **--- "Building placement"
Please fix the building placement UI. It’s impossible to rotate and place the buildings. The update didnt help. Game is unplayable until then
-- frankie3788, 2025-06-23

### ***** "Great app on mobile!"
This app works great on iPad and iPhone. One of the top board games is now much more accessible!
-- TrevorS, 2025-06-23

### ***** "Just Diving In"
….but quick feedback: 1) is there any chance we can get full screen?? I understand why dire wolf pulls in the extents, but man, it feels cheap. 

2) can we get an option to reverse the zoom in direction? Pulling the fingers apart does the opposite of what feels natural on a touchscreen 

3) this might sound petty, but devs please listen, the top right corner of every card that is enlarged… it has an extra pixel or something hahaha (ie the curve isn’t continuous) It looks unfinished.
