In today’s video I discuss Ark Nova from a game design perspective. I think Ark Nova is one of the best heavier Euro games from the last few years (maybe ever), and these are some of the reasons it’s so special.

1. Action selection
2. Card design
3. Player mats
4. Appeal vs Conservation
5. Goals & Set Collection
6. Worker placement
7. Round timer
8. Friendly option on cards
9. Access as an upgrade
10. Art & Theme
