Perfect addition to your board game collection
This is such a fantastic game. I found the initial learning process to be a bit challenging but after watching a rules guide and playthrough online it really became an easy and strategic game to play. There are a lot of opportunities to focus on different strategies so I really enjoyed having multiple options to explore. Play time is about 90 minutes for me and my friend, but we have done 3 games in an evening because of how much we love this game!

Great board game for adults
A great strategy board game for adults based on management of a zoo. So many animal cards that no 2 games are every the same.

Amazing
Perfect to play with 2, sophisticated strategy without crazily complicated rules. Highly recommended. Please note we have never managed to play this in less than 3 hours. 90 minutes sounds very optimistic

Nice game to play
Nova Ark comes with the wonderful packaging, which included plastic trays and bags you to keep the small stuff and cards. This is a nice game for group of 4. But you would require a long table and plan to spend a day on it.

Amazing Game - well worth the money
Husband bought the game as a treat to himself for his bday after playing it on TTS with friends. It is honestly one of the best games we own with loads of replayability. At first it seemed like an expensive boardgame for its genre, but the thought and effort that went into creating this game makes it well worth it. Youtube 'how to play' video allowed us to start playing within half an hour. Definitely recommend for experts and beginners alike :-D

slow onramp but one of my favorite games
takes a while to learn, but once you learn it, it is my favorite game to play, takes a while at first but it gets much faster as you get used to the rules

Muy bueno, es dependiente del idioma, si tienen alguna persona que no pueda con en inglés si recomendaría buscarlo en español.

Gioco divertente sulla natura
Bellissimo gioco che si basa sulla costruzione di uno zoo. Perfetto per chi ama gli animali e la natura. Le istruzioni sono molto lunghe e complicate, ma una volta imparate, il gioco è molto semplice. Le regole sono tutte esclusivamente in inglese.
