Sanctuary – An Ark Nova Game

In Sanctuary, you are building a modern, scientifically managed zoo for animals and visitors. To do so, you have 135 unique zoo tiles at your disposal, consisting of animals, buildings, and projects. In each game, you try to place the best mix of tiles on your zoo map from the available options. Different tile effects allow you to achieve your conservation goals and make your zoo more attractive to visitors.

Sanctuary takes the core ideas of the global bestseller Ark Nova and refines them, offering a more streamlined yet equally engaging experience. The medium-weight game focuses on the exciting challenge of optimally placing animals, buildings, and projects within your zoo, ensuring every play is fresh and dynamic.

Violet R. ★★★★★

My partner and I have played this a dozen times already and the zoo still feels different each game, mostly because those 135 tiles never come out in the same combination twice. The animal cards and enclosure placement force you into tough decisions, which is exactly what I want from a heavier board

Penelope E. ★★★★★

Setup took me an evening but the payoff is huge—every game feels completely different with those 135 zoo tiles. I’m three plays in and still discovering new animal combinations that change my whole strategy. The tile variety alone makes it worth the table space.

Olivia ★★★★★

The 135 unique zoo tiles give you so much room to build something completely different every time. I spent a whole evening just laying out the animal exhibits and already want to start a new layout.
