Ark Nova

A high functioning adaption of an already incredible board game. This is a must buy if you already like ark nova and have friends who'd play with you online. My group argues constantly about whether or not this actually plays better than the over the table version, and I think there's a strong argument to be made that it does. Having the computer track every little stray point or bit of money earned is so handy, and I think all the UI is well designed. Overall there's not much to complain about, except maybe the long turn timer being overly harsh and playing repeatedly for every player regardless of who triggers it. If you haven't played ark nova before, my recommendation still stands, with the caveat that this is a fairly complex game. There's a lot to learn, and even with experienced players often take 90+ minutes. That complexity pays off in a big way as there is so much strategy to this game, I really feel like I'm always learning something. If you like a board game you can really sink your teeth into, or play a lot of Magic the Gathering I really can't recommend this game enough

this is like through the ages where the digital version > irl boardgame.

As someone who is hesitant to buy this physically for $80 FREAKING dollars, this is a much cheaper way to try and play this game. If you're a fan of tableau builders, cant go wrong with this one. May end up spending the $$ for the physical one after all

It's Ark Nova in an easily consumable format - sure there are some quirks and the UI could be utilized better (the zoo board is pretty small), but it's still so much faster as a digital game that does not hurt much. Waiting for Marine Worlds.

A couple improvements for the junior devs: - Not all of the birds "fit" in the bird house but the reptiles do hmmm - Everyone should take their turns at the same time so it's always my turn

Fun game, easy to learn and understand. Can be difficult to master, but that is part of the challenge. Many different ways to win. Highly recommended!
