Sanctuary: An Ark Nova Game (EN)

In Sanctuary An Ark Nova Game, you design and manage a scientifically guided zoo where every habitat and project matters. With 135 unique zoo tiles, you select animals, buildings and conservation projects to create the most efficient combination possible. Each game challenges you to puzzle together your layout in a way that maximizes both attraction and conservation impact.

Your four Action cards determine the rhythm of your game. As you slide a card along your action row, its effect grows stronger. One card lets you play projects, while the other three allow you to place animals from the forest, rock or water habitats.

Sanctuary builds on the success of Ark Nova while simplifying certain mechanisms to create a faster, more intuitive experience. Optimizing your map, arranging habitats and balancing goals feel both strategic and satisfying.

You will enjoy Sanctuary if you love strategic tile placement, meaningful choices and building a zoo that evolves with every turn.
