foxfor8Welcome to *"Ark Nova"*, one of the most popular board games in 2021 now available in BGA! !!!This tutorial is best viewed on a computer for optimal experience. [blue][tip][/blue]This game is a little bit complex, so our tutorial will be a bit longer. Just be patient~^_^ [blue][tip][/blue]In this tutorial, [blue][tip][/blue] is just for additional explanation. If you just want an overview, you can ignore it!1maintitlebar_content

foxfor8This tutorial is still in the alpha stage. !!!If you feel there are any areas where I haven't explained clearly, or if there are any issues, please message me so I can make the corresponding improvements!2maintitlebar_content

foxfor8In "Ark Nova", each player takes on the role of a zookeeper, competing to *bid on projects* *undertake construction* *keep animals* *get sponsorship* *seek collaborations* to make their own zoo be the *best among them all*! [blue][tip][/blue](As you may have noticed, these five terms correspond to the five actions available to players in the game.)4maintitlebar_content

foxfor8The players' goal is to achieve the highest *victory points*! Here is your player information mat. Your *victory points* are marked by a star and can be seen at any time here during the game([blue]in the blue box[/blue]). The player with the highest *VP* at the end of the game is declared the winner.6player_new_score_94307346

foxfor8There are *3 different tracks* in *"Ark Nova"*： [green]Conservation[/green], [red]Appeal[/red] and [blue]Reputation[/blue]. These are tracked by 3 cylindrical markers. Your [blue]Reputation[/blue] marker is on the strip here([red]look at the red dashed box[/red]), marked by a *black graduation cap*. [blue]Reputation[/blue] doesn't contribute to your *VP*, but gives you lots of bonuses. 7reputation-1-holder

foxfor8Your [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] are shown here. They are added together to determine the *VP* you get. You can click here to open the [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] Track panel any time in the game.8open-scoreboard

foxfor8[red]!!![/red]Before you move to the next step, please click on the two *gray icons above* or the *brown scoreboard* on the left to open the game scoreboard![red]!!![/red]9open-scoreboard

foxfor8[red]!!![/red]When you open the game scoreboard, you will see the [green]Conservation[/green] is marked by green shield symbols. [img]https://snipboard.io/ZywYcs.jpg[/img] Whenever you earn [green]Conservation[/green], your player marker moves from the top left to the bottom right. [red]Appeal[/red] is marked by brown ticket symbols. [img]https://snipboard.io/iIK69r.jpg[/img] Whenever you earn [red]Appeal[/red], your player marker moves from the bottom right to the top left.10open-scoreboard

foxfor8Once a player's [green]Conservation[/green] marker meets or intersects with his [red]Appeal[/red] marker on the track *in the same green area*, the game end is triggered! [img]https://snipboard.io/CneWr2.jpg[/img] [red]!!![/red]The game [red]*ends*[/red] after every other player takes one final action! [red]!!![/red]This is shown in the game when a player's *VP* hits *100*. [blue][tip][/blue]In a solo game, the game ends after predetermined number of turns. 11open-scoreboard

foxfor8After calculating the final scoring cards, your *VP* will be determined by adding your [red]Appeal[/red] to the number in the green area corresponding to your [green]Conservation[/green] marker. The following image is a simple example： [img]https://snipboard.io/mEJ4Q2.jpg[/img] The red player's *VP* is 63(corresponding to [green]Conservation[/green]) + 70([red]Appeal[/red]) = 133!12open-scoreboard

foxfor8So this is the victory objective of *Ark Nova*! Now, let's discuss the game board and game setting. Take a look at your *Zoo Map* here: For the first game, all players will start with "*Zoo Map A*" as their *player mat*. This map offers *abundant placement bonuses*. 20zoo-map-94307346

foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]In the first game, *Ark Nova* will be played in *Peaceful Mode*. This means that negative interactions between players, caused by certain cards, will be replaced with simple bonuses instead. [blue][tip][/blue]In future games, you may select different maps with unique special abilities. This allows for a varied gameplay experience!21zoo-map-94307346

foxfor8After selecting the map, you will need to choose 4 Zoo cards to keep in your hand. For the tutorial, let's choose the following cards: *panaanian white-faced capuchin* *scarlet macaw* *eurasian eagle-owl* *free-range new world monkeys* (They can be played easily for illustration purposes!)22floating-hand-button-container

foxfor8You may switch your hand cards with your final scoring cards at any point during the game by clicking here. Final scoring cards give you [green]Conservation[/green] when the game ends. !!!However, when a player's [green]Conservation[/green] reaches *10*, all the players are required to discard one final scoring card from their hand! [blue][tip][/blue]In future games, you can use the final scoring cards as a helpful reference when deciding on your initial hand cards...1floating-scoring-hand-button

foxfor8Finally, all the preparation work is complete. Now, let's start our game! Despite the abundance of details, fortunately, the *actions* for players are quite simple! [red]!!![/red]During your turn, you simply need to choose one option from the five available: *ANIMALS*, *BUILD*, *CARDS*, *SPONSORS*, or *ASSOCIATION*. [red]!!![/red] This rotation continues until the game reaches its conclusion. 3gameaction_status_wrap

foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, the *5 actions* generally follow this logic: *CARDS* allows you to acquire new hand cards. *SPONSORS* provides you with money and new sponsor abilities. *BUILD* and *ANIMALS* help you establish enclosures, introduce animals, thus getting [red]Appeal[/red]. *ASSOCIATION* allows you to gain [green]Conservation[/green] and [blue]Reputation[/blue] and give other bonuses. 4gameaction_status_wrap

foxfor8and [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] decide your *VP*. The more, the better!5gameaction_status_wrap

foxfor8Now the only problem is how we execute these *5 actions*. However, the first action belongs to our opponent "foxfor8". But don't worry! In this tutorial, *we don't need to care about our opponent's actions*. [blue][tip][/blue]In *Ark Nova*, typically, your opponent's actions won't affect you, except for *BREAK*, *SNAP*, *ASSOCIATION* or when the *Peaceful Mode* is not enabled. We will explain it later.6gameaction_status_wrap

foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, when it's your turn to take action, simply click here to choose one from the 5 available actions. Let's try *CARDS* first. 1btnChoose7

foxfor8What can we do by using the *CARDS* action? It depends on the *position* of your *action* cards! Let's scroll down for more information... 1btnDrawAllFromDeck

foxfor8Your 5 *action* cards are arranged in a row with positions numbered from 1 to 5, from left to right. Each *action* card has a corresponding *strength* value from 1 to 5, determined by its position. A higher *strength* *action* card always allows you to perform more tasks, or has greater impact in the game. 2action-cards-94307346

foxfor8You can hover your mouse over the *action* cards at any time to check their effects under different *strengths*. One more thing to mention here. At the start of the game, your *5 actions* are all blue cards with *LEVEL 1*. As the game progresses, you have the opportunity to upgrade them to *LEVEL 2* pink cards, which provide stronger effects.3action-cards-94307346

foxfor8I will provide an explanation on how to upgrade the *action* cards later on... *CARDS* action with *strength 5* enables us to draw 3 cards and discard 1, or *SNAP*! I will introduce *SNAP* later. Let's try drawing 3 cards and discard 1 this time.4btnDrawAllFromDeck

foxfor8and discard 1! [red]!!![/red]Before proceeding to the next step, please scroll down to review your 5 *action* cards.1action-cards-94307346

foxfor8Now that our action is completed, Let's see what else will happen next...1action-cards-94307346

foxfor8The positions of your 5 *action* cards have changed! After taking an action, its position will move to the far left, resulting in its *strength* being reduced to the minimum. All other *actions* will shift to the right as much as possible. 2action-cards-94307346

foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]This is the core mechanism of *Ark Nova*. You must maintain a balance among the 5 *actions*! [blue][tip][/blue]*ANIMALS* action is always in position 1 at the start of the game, while the positions of the other *actions* are randomly arranged.3action-cards-94307346

foxfor8You can also check the *strength* of your 5 *actions* up here. Now, let's proceed with our next action! This time, we will try *ASSOCIATION*.1btnChoose9

foxfor8What can we do with *ASSOCIATION* of *strength 5*? This is the *Association Board*, divided into four blue regions. From left to right, they represent 2--gaining [blue]Reputation[/blue], 3--acquiring a partner zoo, 4--acquiring a partner university, 5--and [green]Conservation[/green] projects. 1association-board-container

foxfor8We must assign a worker to one of the regions to perform an *ASSOCIATION* task! Each region has a number at the top representing the *strength* required to carry out the task. Each player has 1 worker in reserve. So with *strength 5* we can perform any *ASSOCIATION* task!2workers-reserves

foxfor8Except for *[green]Conservation[/green]* project... We do not meet the requirements for any *[green]Conservation[/green]* project here now. Hover your mouse over here to learn about the project's specific demands!3card-P109_Reptiles

foxfor8Let's click here to assign our worker here and acquire the partner zoo of The Americas. [blue][tip][/blue]Take note that if you want to send a worker to a region where you have already placed one of your association workers, you will need to spend an *additional worker*.4meeple-4

foxfor8Then we get it! Your partner zoo and university will be listed to the right of your map, filling up the empty spaces from bottom to top. Partner zoo provides us with an *ICON* representing the Americas, and whenever we exhibit animals from the Americas, the cost is reduced by 3 units. While partner university increases our [blue]Reputation[/blue], handcard limit or grants a research *ICON*.1meeple-4

foxfor8Let me explain the *BUILD* action to you. 1btnChoose6

foxfor8*BUILD* action allows us to construct enclosures to house animals. Additionally, we can build Kiosks or Pavilions. The maximum size of the building we can construct is determined by the *strength* of the *BUILD* action. With a *strength* of 5, we can build any size of building. However, please note that we can only construct one building at a time.1building-selection-size-4

foxfor8Enclosures are used to house animals. A Kiosk provides you with money during the *BREAK* phase. Constructing 1 Pavilion grants you 1 [red]Appeal[/red]. The building on the far right is a petting zoo specifically designed to house pet animals.2building-selection-size-4

foxfor8Let's construct a size-2 enclosure to play our animal cards. [blue][tip][/blue]We chose the size-2 enclosure because it meets the size requirements of the majority of our animal cards.3building-selection-size-2

foxfor8The *BUILD* action requires the following conditions to be met: 1.The new building must be connected to your existing buildings. If you are unable to do so, it must be connected to a border tile on the map. 2.You can not build on water or rocks. 3.Each space covered by the building costs you 2 money.4arknova-tooltipable-29

foxfor8By covering this space, we will receive a bonus of 5 money.5arknova-tooltipable-29

foxfor8One important thing to note is that there are many bonuses in the game *Ark Nova*. Please take a thorough look at the entire screen and locate all the yellow pentagons! Whenever you cover these pentagons, or your player marker crosses them on the track, you instantly receive the corresponding bonus. These bonuses can include *gaining workers*, *upgrading actions*, acquiring money, and more.6arknova-tooltipable-55

foxfor8[red]!!![/red]It's only through this way that you can upgrade *action* cards and you can only upgrade up to 4 *action* cards. Simply hover your mouse over a pentagon to know what you will get as the bonus. The bonuses in the left list here can be slightly different. By supporting a [green]Conservation[/green] project, you can move a marker from here and receive the corresponding bonus.7arknova-tooltipable-53

foxfor8However, let's proceed with the *BUILD* action here! Building a size 2 enclosure costs 4 money (2 * 2). Additionally, by covering this tile, we will receive a bonus of 5 money.8arknova-tooltipable-29

foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, different colors are used to assist with memory: 1.Yellow corresponds to instant one-time bonuses. 2.Purple corresponds to ongoing bonuses that occur every *BREAK*. [blue][tip][/blue]Brownish red corresponds to final-scoring components. [blue][tip][/blue]Blue corresponds to LEVEL1 actions. [blue][tip][/blue]Pink corresponds to LEVEL2 actions.1arknova-tooltipable-52

foxfor8Now let's talk about *SPONSORS*. The *SPONSORS* action allows us to play sponsor cards, which provide various benefits and abilities. Alternatively, you can push *BREAK X*, which will grant you *X* amount of money. The value of *X* corresponds to the *strength* of *SPONSORS* action. 1btnChoose10

foxfor8We will introduce *BREAK* later. For now, let's focus on how to play cards from your hand.2card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys

foxfor8There are 3 types of cards in *Ark Nova*: [red]animal cards[/red], [blue]sponsor cards[/blue] and [green]conservation project cards[/green]. You can easily distinguish them by their color. You can play sponsor cards by taking the *SPONSORS* action and animal cards by taking the *ANIMALS* action. Conservation project cards can be treated as a special type of conservation project that can only be supported by you. We will introduce them in more detail later.3card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys

foxfor8All animal cards and sponsor cards in the game follow the same rules: 1.*Cost*: The top left corner of the card indicates the cost required to play it. 2.*Restrictions*: Below the cost, you can find any specific restrictions or conditions that must be met to play the card. 3.*Effects*: Effects of the card are described at the bottom of the card. 1card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys

foxfor8... 4.*Icon*: The card *ICON* is located in the top right corner. 5.*Long-term Effects*: If there is a long-term effect, it will be displayed at the top of the sponsor card. 6.*Final-scoring*: If there is a final-scoring effect, it will be shown in the bottom right corner of the sponsor card.2card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys

foxfor8Since you can hover your mouse over a card at any time to know its detailed description, we'll keep it concise here. This card can only be played when your [red]Appeal[/red] is lower than 25. It requires a *strength 5* *SPONSORS* action as the cost. It provides us with [red]Appeal[/red], 1 Primates *ICON* and a final scoring effect of 1 [green]Conservation[/green] when specific conditions are met. That's all.3card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys

foxfor8All animals and sponsor cards you played will be listed here. Once played, cards will only display their *ICON* and long-term effect (if applicable) on top.1inPlay-animals-94307346

foxfor8Finally, let's explore the *ANIMALS* action. With a *strength* of 5, the *ANIMALS* action allows us to play two animals at once. In order to play an animal card, make sure to: 1.Have an empty enclosure that fulfills the animal's requirements in terms of size and adjacency to water or rock on your map. 2.Comply with any restrictions mentioned on the animal card. 3.Pay the animal's cost.1btnChoose8

foxfor8Animal cards generally follow the similar rules with sponsors cards. This animal card has a cost of 11 money and an at least size-2 enclosure. Besides, it requires an Americas partner zoo. Since we have established a partnership with the Zoo of the Americas, we can play it and enjoy a discount of 3!1card-A463_PanamanianWhitefacedCapuchin

foxfor8We place the animal here and flip this size-3 enclosure to mark it as occupied.1building-3

foxfor8By playing animal cards, we earn [red]Appeal[/red] and trigger their respective abilities. [red]Appeal[/red] is written on the bottom right corner of animal cards marked by ticket symbol. You can know animals' special abilities by hovering your mouse on animal cards. This animal card allows us to draw one card from the deck. 2btnChoice0

foxfor8[red]!!![/red]Remember, in *Ark Nova*, when multiple effects or bonuses trigger at the same time, you always have the freedom to choose the order of resolution！3arknova-tooltipable-184

foxfor8Then we play this animal. This animal requires an enclosure with a minimum size of 1 and at least 1 adjacent water.1card-A478_ChineseWaterDragon

foxfor8And we utilize its ability to sell cards in exchange for money...1btnChoice1

foxfor8These are the *5 actions*! As mentioned earlier, certain place bonuses or track bonuses allow you to upgrade your *actions* to *LEVEL 2*. *LEVEL 2 actions* are more powerful but generally follow the same rules as *LEVEL 1*. I'll leave it to you to explore during gameplay. [red]!!![/red]Simply hover your mouse over the *actions* cards to learn more.1action-card-slot-94307346-3

foxfor8Additional details: *LEVEL 2 BUILD* allows you to construct special buildings of size 5 to house multiple special animals: *Reptile House* and *Large Bird Aviary*. If you have previously played these animals, you can relocate them to the new building and flip the enclosure to indicate that it is unoccupied and can be used for playing other animal cards.2action-card-6

foxfor8And with *LEVEL 2 ASSOCIATION*, you have the option to make donations during each *ASSOCIATION* action. Donating allows you to spend money in order to earn 1 [green]Conservation[/green]. However, with each player's donation, the cost of the next donation increases. 3association-board-0

foxfor8One more thing... To fill or make your player marker access any pink area you can see on the screen, you need to have the corresponding *LEVEL 2 actions* available!4arknova-tooltipable-46

foxfor8Finally, let's talk about *BREAK*. Similar to other board games, *Ark Nova* is played in rounds. However, in *Ark Nova*, the rounds are conducted in the form of *BREAK*.5btnChoose7

foxfor8Take a look at here. The number displayed here indicates when the *BREAK* will occur. Once the number reaches its limit, it's time for the *BREAK*.6break-counter-wrapper

foxfor8Remember, as we mentioned earlier, you have the option to use the *SPONSORS* *action* to push the *BREAK* *X* and receive the corresponding amount of money. Additionally, the *CARDS* *action* also pushes the *BREAK* by 2.7btnChoose7

foxfor8So we take the *CARDS* action again to push the *BREAK* count to 9/9, and the *BREAK* phase will be performed for *every player* once your action is over.1break-counter-wrapper

foxfor8You are the player who triggers the *BREAK*. As a result, you receive an *X token* here([red]in the red dashed box[/red]). Before taking your action, you can choose to spend any number of *X tokens* to increase the *strength* of your next action by the same amount. However, please note that you can only hold a maximum of 5 *X tokens* at a time.2counter-94307346-xtoken

foxfor8Instead of drawing cards, we can *SNAP* only by performing the *strength 5* *CARDS* action. Here is the card display area. *SNAP* enables us to select one from the six cards displayed in the card display area. Sometimes you may come across descriptions like "within your [blue]Reputation[/blue] range." It refers to all the cards that are above and to the left of your [blue]Reputation[/blue] marker. 3card-A450_CommonWombat

foxfor8Confirm the *SNAP* and now let's learn about the *BREAK* phase. 4card-A450_CommonWombat

foxfor81.During the *BREAK* phase, the first thing you need to do is discard your hand cards. You can only keep a maximum of 3 hand cards when the *BREAK* occurs. Fortunately, we only have 3 cards, so we don't need to discard any. [blue][tip][/blue]If you acquire a specific partner university, your hand card limit will increase to 5.1pagemaintitletext

foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]2.Then, all tokens are removed from your *action* cards. However, in this tutorial, we won't focus on that aspect. If you encounter any token on *action* cards in the future, simply hover your mouse over them to read their effects.1pagemaintitletext

foxfor83.Your workers will go back to reserve. It means that you have the ability to perform the *ASSOCIATION* action again!2workers-reserves

foxfor84.Replenishing partner zoos and universities. Thus, other players can get them in the next turn.3meeple-37

foxfor85.The two leftmost cards in the cards display area will be discarded, and new cards will be placed to replace them.4pool-1

foxfor86.Next, and perhaps most importantly, you will earn income from your [red]Appeal[/red], Kiosks, and any effects marked with the color purple which stands for long-term bonuses. Your money is shown here in the [red]red dashed box[/red]. There is another money symbol in the [red]red dashed box[/red] just on the right. It stands for your total money income during *BREAK*. 5counter-94307346-money

foxfor8Finally, the *BREAK* count is reset.8break-counter

foxfor8If you don't want or are unable to perform the *5 actions*, you have the option to choose this alternative. It allows you to move any *action* card to the far left and receive 1 *X token*. However, the benefits of doing so are quite low, so it is recommended to only take this action when you have a specific need for it!1btnGainXToken

foxfor8If you need to use *X tokens* to enhance the *strength* of your action, simply click here.2xtoken-modifier-plus

foxfor8Now that we understand how to perform the *5 ACTIONS*. Let's briefly review how to play this game: *CARDS* to acquire hand cards. *BUILD* enclosures to house *ANIMALS* to earn [red]Appeal[/red]. *SPONSORS* to push *BREAK* track and get income or play sponsor cards. *ASSOCIATION* to earn [green]Conservation[/green] and [blue]reputation[/blue]. During *BREAK* , get your income! 3maintitlebar_content

foxfor8[green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] determine your *VP*. Remember, the goal is to strategically combine these *5 actions* to maximize your *VP* at the end of the game! To win the game, you earn [red]Appeal[/red] primarily by playing animal cards.4maintitlebar_content

foxfor8...and earn [green]Conservation[/green] mainly by *ASSOCIATION* action to assign your worker here to support [green]Conservation[/green] projects!5association-board-5

foxfor8Remember, in order to carry out a [green]Conservation[/green] project, you must first fulfill the *ICON* restriction.6base-projects-holder

foxfor8Alternatively, you can assign a worker and play a [green]Conservation[/green] card from your hand. Make sure to read the card to understand its specific requirements and demands.7card-P125_ReptileBreeding

foxfor8Once a [green]Conservation[/green] card is played, it will be placed here. This allows other players to also compete for this [green]Conservation[/green] project.8project-0

foxfor8At any point in the game, you can check your Zoo information here. It includes your money, *X tokens*, *action strength*, *VP*, [red]Appeal[/red], [green]Conservation[/green], [blue]Reputation[/blue], and the *ICONS* you possess. *ICONS* are typically used to fulfill card restrictions and meet the demands of [green]Conservation[/green] projects.9overall_player_board_94307346
