Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Jul 31 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

Design a modern zoo to help animals thrive as you support conservation projects around the world.

Since its release in 2021, tabletop board game Ark Nova from designer Mathias Wigge has received numerous awards around the world. Now a new digital adaptation brings the strategy and science of the beloved board game to players everywhere!

In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.
At the heart of Ark Nova are 255 cards featuring animals, specialists, unique enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a particular ability. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and to collect conservation points. Each player has a set of action cards, which you will use and upgrade to carry out your plans.
Each player has a set of five action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. The cards are:
BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions.
ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.
CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards).
ASSOCIATION: Allows your association workers to carry out different tasks.
SPONSORS: Allows you to play a sponsor card in your zoo or to raise money.
With high replayability and rich components, Ark Nova provides a remarkable gaming experience that will bring the game to the table again and again.

The game is fun. I enjoy the boardgame more but the only issue I have is that the game is NOT complete. If you have played Ark Nova, you know how fun and intricate the game can be. Yet, the game has A SINGLE expansion. That expansion ADDS a TON of stuff to the game that makes the game better. My biggest issue is that when I play the boardgame with the expansion and all the marvelous greatness that it is and then i come to play this game it just feels incomplete. If you have not played with the expansion, you are missing out.
Fantastic adaptation of the board game! Well done, Dire Wolf! Now give us some DLC please!

[h3] 我真的看动物觉得眉清目秀[/h3] 我是菜鸟,开玩十小时被普通AI吊着打,改成简单终于赢了一局 然后攻克挑战模式,又是五小时左右才赢一局普通 但你游引导也是真的不太行,《鸟牌》点到每个看不懂的UI都会有说明,你游不查规则书就只能玩中学了 [h3] 目前影响最大的bug:卸载重装后游玩数据会清空[/h3] 为什么会影响很大呢?因为这类游戏太有毒了!我必须卸载才能控制不去玩,然而不过一会儿又下回来了.....然后和清空的新游戏面面相觑
快点把海洋扩端上来 急急急急急急急急
电子版做的还不错,就是没有海洋扩
we need DLC!!!!!!!!!!
Ark Nova is one of the best tile placement board games in existence, and having all the fiddly bits automated is a godsend. The UI is brilliant, considering the amount of information from so many different sources the player needs easy access to. The easy AI just just challenging enough to force new players to learn, while the harder ones ramp up smoothly from there. This game deserves every bit of the praise it has received and is absolutely worth its full price.
Fantastic adaptation of the board game, my wife and I play online when I’m traveling and pass a laptop between us when traveling together!
Great game! Please add the Marine World expansion!
One of the best board game and a excellent digital adaptation.
