Listen on the way to game night and start playing without opening the rulebook. You win by having the most victory points, which come from adding your appeal to the conservation value your conservation counter has reached. You get there by building enclosures, filling them with animals for appeal, and supporting conservation projects for conservation points, with the two tracks running towards each other from opposite ends of the board. 2021 · Feuerland Spiele / Capstone Games · 1–4 players The refresher in writing: rustyontherules.com/episodes/ark-nova Anyone can add a game: upload its rulebook PDF at rustyontherules.com and we write and record the episode.
