The first important aspect of this game to understand is that there are no formal rounds and no fixed game duration. Once this is completed, it is time to add the conservation project cards from the corresponding deck. Players choose from five actions: drawing cards; building enclosures; playing animal cards, which requires an empty enclosure and awards the player special effects; performing an association task, which give different benefits, such as increasing reputation, adding to hand limit or reducing animal cost; and playing scoring cards, which award points at the end of the game in addition to immediate or ongoing effects. On the association board, you will need to place one token for each university and for each partner zoo.Money makes Ark Nova go round, and you will probably find yourself short of it many times in the first half of the game.

He concluded that it is an "incredible game in just about every dimension — it’s just not the accessible title that’s going to cross into the mainstream and expand the audience". However, there are some tips that I can give you to aim for in the early game, though some of these strategies may be easier than others as every game of Ark Nova is likely to be wildly different.

Finding which one is the best is not a trivial task so, why not try to build your own zoo with Ark Nova and show your friends how great it could be?
