## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s Ark Nova, with fish!
*by C***S on July 24, 2025*

Love the base game. Normally don’t care for expansions.However, this one addressed some imbalances in the original cards (with this many cards, sometimes that happens).It also introduced some new mechanics (animals, sponsors, action cards) that alleviated some frustrations with the base game and/or provided additional variety in gameplay. Like the wave mechanic that flows through cards. Everyone has their favorites and those they hate, and this makes it more challenging to pick up a card showing before it goes away - and it lets you get through the deck quicker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epic game
*by B***  on March 18, 2025*

Well worth putting the time and effort in to learn how to play. It’s a hefty game but fun. Beautiful components. We really like the tile placement aspect of building your zoo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite board game of all time
*by M***B on January 19, 2025*

Ark Nova is an amazing medium to heavy complexity board game about animal conservation and building a zoo. It has a unique action selection method and tons of gorgeous cards. Takes a lot of room -- can be quite the table hog. A modern masterpiece.
