Overview

Ark Nova: Marine Worlds expands the deep, strategic experience of Ark Nova by taking your conservation efforts beneath the waves. Build and manage world-class marine aquariums, introduce iconic sea life, and support ocean-focused conservation projects—while preserving the tight, card-driven engine fans love.

This expansion adds new Marine Animals, Aquarium enclosures, and Marine Conservation Projects, creating fresh synergies and strategic paths without changing the core flow of the game. Decisions feel sharper, competition more dynamic, and replayability even higher.

Why you’ll love it

• New Marine Focus: Aquariums and sea creatures open unique scoring and combo opportunities.

• Deeper Strategy: Marine cards interact with existing mechanics, rewarding smart timing and planning.

• Thematic Integration: Conservation themes feel natural and impactful, not tacked on.

• High Replay Value: New cards and objectives keep every game feeling different.

Who is it for?

Perfect for fans of Ark Nova who want more depth and variety, and for players who enjoy heavy Euro-style games where long-term planning, engine building, and meaningful choices matter, but with Ark Nova’s elegant card-action system.

Note: This is an expansion and requires the base game Ark Nova to play.
