About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fanatics! Ready for another hot new release for Ark Nova? If you love the game and want to upgrade your collection, pay attention! This little expansion, which already appeared digitally on Board Game Arena, now has a physical version thanks to the Ark Nova 3D campaign on Gamefound. It's a promotional item that brings a Sponsor card (level 3, to be exact!) with an Arcade theme. When you play it, you immediately gain 2 appeal. But that's not all: for every 10 appeal you have, the game rewards you with 1 credit during the Income phase. And to top it off, at the end of the game, you gain an additional 2 appeal for each zoo that has less appeal than yours (remember to score this card first!). It comes in all languages that the original Ark Nova was released in, but be warned, the base game itself is quite language-dependent, so pay attention to translations to avoid any hassle. It's the kind of add-on that adds extra flavor without drastically changing the main experience, perfect for those who want to collect everything or vary their strategies. If you're a fan of card play, resource management, and the vibe of building the best zoo, this promo might be a great find!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Ark Nova game to use this card?
Yes, absolutely! This is a promotional card and functions as an expansion, so you need the base Ark Nova game to use it.
What is the impact of this card on my game?
It offers appeal and credit bonuses, plus extra end-game scoring. It's a small 'boost' that can help strategies focused on appeal or income.
Is this card hard to get?
Originally, it was released digitally and later had a physical version through a crowdfunding campaign (Gamefound). It might be easier to find in specialized promo stores or on the secondary market.
Does the card come in English?
The expansion was released in all languages that the base Ark Nova has. So, if your base Ark Nova is in English, the card should be too.
Is this a large or small expansion?
It's a very small item, basically a card with a building. It doesn't add many new rules but rather an extra element to the base game.
Is it worth it for someone who doesn't collect everything for Ark Nova?
If you aim to optimize every point and enjoy exploring all possible synergies, it might be worth it. For casual players, the impact might be minimal and not essential.
