The Cardboard League is The Sanctum’s monthly open gathering of tabletop enthusiasts devoted to playing the best modern board gaming has to offer.  While we’re not going to limit our options, the afternoon start time is designed to allow time for longer, more complex board games that might be too much for an evening of board gaming.

Date: Saturday, February 8th

Time: 5 pm

Featured game: Ark Nova

Game Description: 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.

With a lot of love for the theme, game designer Mathias Wigge has created an interestingly interwoven game. With high replayability and rich components, Ark Nova provides a remarkable gaming experience that will bring the game to the table again and again.
