Design and build a modern zoo based on conservation work and scientific research. Build natural enclosures for animals and support conservation projects that promote the preservation of species.
Acquiring different animals increases the attractiveness of your zoo, thus you progress on the attractiveness point track and you get more income. By taking care of your animals, you can participate in conservation projects, which will help you advance on the conservation point track and get other benefits. The two tracks go in opposite directions - if your track pieces meet each other, it's game over. The game is won by the player whose zoo best combines these attractiveness and conservation efforts.
By collaborating with various zoo organizations, you can network with international zoos and universities. In addition to them, a wide variety of experts and sponsors will help you achieve your goals.
Ark Nova is a new game mainly aimed at game enthusiasts, where players run their own zoo.
The game has been at the top of BGG's hotness list since its release and has risen to the top of the charts with noise.
