Ark Nova

Ark Nova
Design the zoo of tomorrow—where wildlife, science, and conservation meet.

In Ark Nova, you'll take on the role of a modern zoo planner, working to build the most successful, sustainable, and scientifically managed zoological park in the world.

Construct enclosures, welcome diverse animal species, and support global conservation projects—all while managing staff, sponsors, and strategic infrastructure to rise above your competition.

Each player uses five unique action cards, with actions growing stronger the longer they remain unused:

• CARDS – Gain new animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards

• BUILD – Construct enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions

• ANIMALS – Add animals to your zoo

• ASSOCIATION – Assign workers to key conservation and partnership tasks

• SPONSORS – Play sponsor cards or earn money

At the heart of Ark Nova are 255 unique cards—featuring animals, specialists, buildings, and conservation projects—each with its own ability to boost your zoo’s appeal, reputation, and conservation impact.

Balance smart planning with meaningful impact as you guide your zoo toward ecological excellence.
