Sanctuary: An Ark Nova Game

Sanctuary: An Ark Nova Game is a strategic board game that refines the Ark Nova system into a streamlined, tile-driven zoo-building experience.

You’ll plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo, choosing from a vast array of unique zoo tiles representing animals, buildings, and conservation projects. Using a set of four action cards, you’ll time and sequence your turns to place forest, rock, and water animals while unlocking synergies that boost appeal and help you hit key conservation goals. Every map becomes a spatial puzzle as you squeeze in habitats and infrastructure to create the most successful, visitor-friendly sanctuary possible. With support for solo and group play, it delivers a satisfying mix of tactical planning and long-term strategy in a tighter play window than its predecessor. Available now at Boarding School Games—build your own world-class sanctuary.
