    • A Great Addition
Style: Marine Worlds
A very fun addition to Ark Nova that adds a new dimension to the gameplay. Giving you more options to tinker with your zoo all while having some new cool animals to look at and appreciate. Some of the additions are optional as well such as the new action cards with special abilities but I also enjoyed these as it spiced things up. All in all, it adds some more complexity without feeling overwhelming. Really enjoyed it. ... show more

    • Great Addition to the game!
Style: Marine Worlds
The expansion adds so many new cards and it makes the original game (my favorite of all time) even more fun! (if it is possible!) It also includes some great new tokens/meeples for 4 players in the shape of different animals. You can mix the expansion with the original game in the same box and there is no need to separate the two of them, the expansion doesn't interrupts the original game. If you know how to play Ark Nova, then the expansion is easy to include in the normal game. I love it! ... show more

    • Perfect expansion for a great game!
Style: Marine Worlds
If you like Ark Nova, you will love this expansion. It's just as high quality as the original and looks great. Its a bit expensive for the size of the expansion, but overall worth it if you like the game!

    • One of the best expansions I own!
Style: Marine Worlds
One of the best expansions to a game I own. Not only does it add interesting choices to the game, it also patches some cards from the base game. The rebalancing aspect is refreshing and awesome to see. It also proves the designers are play testing their own games. As gamers, we appreciate that.

    • One of the greatest expansions to any board game I have played
Style: Marine Worlds
Ark Nova is my favorite board game, and since I usually cannot get enough of it, I was naturally drawn to this expansion. I heard great things as it was coming out, so I got my hands on it as soon as possible, and I've got to say, it really is one of the best expansions I have played. If there are flaws in the base game, then an expansion should be able to fix that. With Ark Nova, the biggest flaw is that the deck is just so large, and you can sometimes get screwed by RNG. With Marine Worlds, not only did they add a mechanic to fix this, they added two. First, with every sea animal or similar sponsorship, there is a wave icon that progresses the cards on the display one time. This does happen fairly frequently, so players are able to see a much greater number of cards on the display that they will be able to choose from directly. Also in this expansions is the added "Find" ability. Through a university, or other means, you are able to search through the deck until you find a type of card you want, whether that be an animal type, sponsorship, etc.. This greatly helps increase the number of icons you have for what you need, making supporting conservation projects much easier. Also in this expansion are several new animals (not just sea animals), sponsorships, conservation projects, final scoring cards, and perhaps most excitingly, upgraded action cards. A whole new phase is added to the game where players can draft two upgraded action cards with a wide variety of effects that have a very noticeable impact on strategy. This adds a whole new layer to the game that further adds to the replay-ability. Finally, other adjustments are made to certain final scoring cards, conservation projects, and other scoring aspects that "even-the-playing-field", balancing this incredibly deep-in-content game. Overall, if you like Ark Nova, I would highly recommend this expansion pack. Not only does it fix some of the problems in the base game, but it adds more cards and mechanics that make it even more fun. ... show more
