foxfor8Welcome to *"Ark Nova"*, one of the most popular board games in 2021 now available in BGA!
!!!This tutorial is best viewed on a computer for optimal experience.
[blue][tip][/blue]This game is a little bit complex, so our tutorial will be a bit longer. Just be patient~^_^
[blue][tip][/blue]In this tutorial, [blue][tip][/blue] is just for additional explanation. If you just want an overview, you can ignore it!1maintitlebar_content000
foxfor8This tutorial is still in the alpha stage.
!!!If you feel there are any areas where I haven't explained clearly, or if there are any issues, please message me so I can make the corresponding improvements!2maintitlebar_content000
foxfor8In "Ark Nova", each player takes on the role of a zookeeper, competing to
*bid on projects*
*undertake construction*
*keep animals*
*get sponsorship*
*seek collaborations*
to make their own zoo be the *best among them all*!
[blue][tip][/blue](As you may have noticed, these five terms correspond to the five actions available to players in the game.)4maintitlebar_content000
foxfor8The players' goal is to achieve the highest *victory points*!
Here is your player information mat.
Your *victory points* are marked by a star and can be seen at any time here during the game([blue]in the blue box[/blue]).
The player with the highest *VP* at the end of the game is declared the winner.6player_new_score_94307346000player_new_score_94307346 2 overall_player_board_94307346 7
foxfor8There are *3 different tracks* in *"Ark Nova"*：
[green]Conservation[/green], [red]Appeal[/red] and [blue]Reputation[/blue].
These are tracked by 3 cylindrical markers.
Your [blue]Reputation[/blue] marker is on the strip here([red]look at the red dashed box[/red]), marked by a *black graduation cap*.
[blue]Reputation[/blue] doesn't contribute to your *VP*, but gives you lots of bonuses. 7reputation-1-holder000reputation-1-holder 6 reputation-track 1
foxfor8Your [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] are shown here.
They are added together to determine the *VP* you get.
You can click here to open the [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] Track panel any time in the game.8open-scoreboard000conservation-track-duplicate 6 player_board_config 6
foxfor8[red]!!![/red]Before you move to the next step, please click on the two *gray icons above* or the *brown scoreboard* on the left to open the game scoreboard![red]!!![/red]9open-scoreboard000conservation-track-duplicate 6 player_config 6
foxfor8[red]!!![/red]When you open the game scoreboard, you will see the [green]Conservation[/green] is marked by green shield symbols.

Whenever you earn [green]Conservation[/green], your player marker moves from the top left to the bottom right.
[red]Appeal[/red] is marked by brown ticket symbols.

Whenever you earn [red]Appeal[/red], your player marker moves from the bottom right to the top left.10open-scoreboard000player_board_config 6
foxfor8Once a player's [green]Conservation[/green] marker meets or intersects with his [red]Appeal[/red] marker on the track *in the same green area*, the game end is triggered!
[img]https://snipboard.io/CneWr2.jpg[/img]
[red]!!![/red]The game [red]*ends*[/red] after every other player takes one final action!
[red]!!![/red]This is shown in the game when a player's *VP* hits *100*.
[blue][tip][/blue]In a solo game, the game ends after predetermined number of turns.

foxfor8After calculating the final scoring cards, your *VP* will be determined by adding your [red]Appeal[/red] to the number in the green area corresponding to your [green]Conservation[/green] marker.
The following image is a simple example：
[img]https://snipboard.io/mEJ4Q2.jpg[/img]
The red player's *VP* is 63(corresponding to [green]Conservation[/green]) + 70([red]Appeal[/red]) = 133!12open-scoreboard000
foxfor8So this is the victory objective of *Ark Nova*!
Now, let's discuss the game board and game setting.
Take a look at your *Zoo Map* here:
For the first game, all players will start with "*Zoo Map A*" as their *player mat*. This map offers *abundant placement bonuses*.
20zoo-map-94307346000
foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]In the first game, *Ark Nova* will be played in *Peaceful Mode*. This means that negative interactions between players, caused by certain cards, will be replaced with simple bonuses instead.
[blue][tip][/blue]In future games, you may select different maps with unique special abilities. This allows for a varied gameplay experience!21zoo-map-94307346000
foxfor8After selecting the map, you will need to choose 4 Zoo cards to keep in your hand.
For the tutorial, let's choose the following cards:
*panaanian white-faced capuchin*
*scarlet macaw*
*eurasian eagle-owl*
*free-range new world monkeys*
(They can be played easily for illustration purposes!)22floating-hand-button-container000
foxfor8You may switch your hand cards with your final scoring cards at any point during the game by clicking here.
Final scoring cards give you [green]Conservation[/green] when the game ends.
!!!However, when a player's [green]Conservation[/green] reaches *10*, all the players are required to discard one final scoring card from their hand!
[blue][tip][/blue]In future games, you can use the final scoring cards as a helpful reference when deciding on your initial hand cards...1floating-scoring-hand-button646acec36fb5500floating-scoring-hand-button 6
foxfor8Finally, all the preparation work is complete.
Now, let's start our game! Despite the abundance of details, fortunately, the *actions* for players are quite simple!
[red]!!![/red]During your turn, you simply need to choose one option from the five available: *ANIMALS*, *BUILD*, *CARDS*, *SPONSORS*, or *ASSOCIATION*. [red]!!![/red]
This rotation continues until the game reaches its conclusion.
3gameaction_status_wrap646acec36fb5500
foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, the *5 actions* generally follow this logic:
*CARDS* allows you to acquire new hand cards.
*SPONSORS* provides you with money and new sponsor abilities.
*BUILD* and *ANIMALS* help you establish enclosures, introduce animals, thus getting [red]Appeal[/red].
*ASSOCIATION* allows you to gain [green]Conservation[/green] and [blue]Reputation[/blue] and give other bonuses.
4gameaction_status_wrap646acec36fb5500
foxfor8and [green]Conservation[/green] and [red]Appeal[/red] decide your *VP*. The more, the better!5gameaction_status_wrap646acec36fb5500
foxfor8Now the only problem is how we execute these *5 actions*.
However, the first action belongs to our opponent "foxfor8".
But don't worry! In this tutorial, *we don't need to care about our opponent's actions*.
[blue][tip][/blue]In *Ark Nova*, typically, your opponent's actions won't affect you, except for *BREAK*, *SNAP*, *ASSOCIATION* or when the *Peaceful Mode* is not enabled. We will explain it later.6gameaction_status_wrap646acec36fb5500
foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, when it's your turn to take action, simply click here to choose one from the 5 available actions.
Let's try *CARDS* first. 1btnChoose7646aceee04a9500btnChoose7 16 customActions 1
foxfor8What can we do by using the *CARDS* action?
It depends on the *position* of your *action* cards!
Let's scroll down for more information... 1btnDrawAllFromDeck646acf4a9801900
foxfor8Your 5 *action* cards are arranged in a row with positions numbered from 1 to 5, from left to right.
Each *action* card has a corresponding *strength* value from 1 to 5, determined by its position.
A higher *strength* *action* card always allows you to perform more tasks, or has greater impact in the game.

foxfor8You can hover your mouse over the *action* cards at any time to check their effects under different *strengths*.
One more thing to mention here. At the start of the game, your *5 actions* are all blue cards with *LEVEL 1*.
As the game progresses, you have the opportunity to upgrade them to *LEVEL 2* pink cards, which provide stronger effects.3action-cards-94307346646acf4a9801900action-card-slot-94307346-1 6 action-card-slot-94307346-2 6 action-card-slot-94307346-3 6 action-card-slot-94307346-4 6 action-card-slot-94307346-5 6
foxfor8I will provide an explanation on how to upgrade the *action* cards later on...
*CARDS* action with *strength 5* enables us to draw 3 cards and discard 1,
or *SNAP*!
I will introduce *SNAP* later.
Let's try drawing 3 cards and discard 1 this time.4btnDrawAllFromDeck646acf4a9801900btnDrawAllFromDeck 16
foxfor8and discard 1!
[red]!!![/red]Before proceeding to the next step, please scroll down to review your 5 *action* cards.1action-cards-94307346646ad5452a69600action-card-slot-94307346-1 6 action-card-slot-94307346-2 6 action-card-slot-94307346-3 6 action-card-slot-94307346-4 6 action-card-slot-94307346-5 6
foxfor8Now that our action is completed,
Let's see what else will happen next...1action-cards-94307346646ad55941dfe00action-card-slot-94307346-1 6 action-card-10 6 action-card-6 6 action-card-slot-94307346-4 6 action-card-7 6
foxfor8The positions of your 5 *action* cards have changed!
After taking an action, its position will move to the far left, resulting in its *strength* being reduced to the minimum. All other *actions* will shift to the right as much as possible.
2action-cards-94307346646ad55942a5b00
foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]This is the core mechanism of *Ark Nova*. You must maintain a balance among the 5 *actions*!
[blue][tip][/blue]*ANIMALS* action is always in position 1 at the start of the game, while the positions of the other *actions* are randomly arranged.3action-cards-94307346646ad55942a5b00
foxfor8You can also check the *strength* of your 5 *actions* up here.
Now, let's proceed with our next action!
This time, we will try *ASSOCIATION*.1btnChoose9646ad56a4c4be00btnChoose9 16
foxfor8What can we do with *ASSOCIATION* of *strength 5*?
This is the *Association Board*, divided into four blue regions.
From left to right, they represent
2--gaining [blue]Reputation[/blue],
3--acquiring a partner zoo,
4--acquiring a partner university,
5--and [green]Conservation[/green] projects. 1association-board-container646ad56cf002300association-board-2 6 association-board-3 6 association-board-4 6 association-board-5 6
foxfor8We must assign a worker to one of the regions to perform an *ASSOCIATION* task!
Each region has a number at the top representing the *strength* required to carry out the task.
Each player has 1 worker in reserve. So with *strength 5* we can perform any *ASSOCIATION* task!2workers-reserves646ad56cf002300workers-reserves 7 association-board-2 6 association-board-3 6 association-board-4 6 association-board-5 6
foxfor8Except for *[green]Conservation[/green]* project...
We do not meet the requirements for any *[green]Conservation[/green]* project here now.
Hover your mouse over here to learn about the project's specific demands!3card-P109_Reptiles646ad56cf002300association-board-5 6 base-projects-holder 6
foxfor8Let's click here to assign our worker here and acquire the partner zoo of The Americas.
[blue][tip][/blue]Take note that if you want to send a worker to a region where you have already placed one of your association workers, you will need to spend an *additional worker*.4meeple-4646ad56cf002300meeple-4 16
foxfor8Then we get it!
Your partner zoo and university will be listed to the right of your map, filling up the empty spaces from bottom to top.
Partner zoo provides us with an *ICON* representing the Americas, and whenever we exhibit animals from the Americas, the cost is reduced by 3 units.
While partner university increases our [blue]Reputation[/blue], handcard limit or grants a research *ICON*.1meeple-4646ad570c69ee00
foxfor8Let me explain the *BUILD* action to you.
1btnChoose6646ad589c647400btnChoose6 16
foxfor8*BUILD* action allows us to construct enclosures to house animals.
Additionally, we can build Kiosks or Pavilions.
The maximum size of the building we can construct is determined by the *strength* of the *BUILD* action. With a *strength* of 5, we can build any size of building.
However, please note that we can only construct one building at a time.1building-selection-size-4646ad59566cce00
foxfor8Enclosures are used to house animals.
A Kiosk provides you with money during the *BREAK* phase.
Constructing 1 Pavilion grants you 1 [red]Appeal[/red].
The building on the far right is a petting zoo specifically designed to house pet animals.2building-selection-size-4646ad59566cce00
foxfor8Let's construct a size-2 enclosure to play our animal cards.
[blue][tip][/blue]We chose the size-2 enclosure because it meets the size requirements of the majority of our animal cards.3building-selection-size-2646ad59566cce00
foxfor8The *BUILD* action requires the following conditions to be met:
1.The new building must be connected to your existing buildings. If you are unable to do so, it must be connected to a border tile on the map.
2.You can not build on water or rocks.
3.Each space covered by the building costs you 2 money.4arknova-tooltipable-29646ad59566cce00
foxfor8By covering this space, we will receive a bonus of 5 money.5arknova-tooltipable-29646ad59566cce00
foxfor8One important thing to note is that there are many bonuses in the game *Ark Nova*.
Please take a thorough look at the entire screen and locate all the yellow pentagons!
Whenever you cover these pentagons, or your player marker crosses them on the track, you instantly receive the corresponding bonus.
These bonuses can include *gaining workers*, *upgrading actions*, acquiring money, and more.6arknova-tooltipable-55646ad59566cce00reputation-5-holder 6 reputation-8-holder 6 reputation-10-holder 6 reputation-11-holder 6 reputation-12-holder 6 reputation-13-holder 6 reputation-14-holder 6 reputation-15-holder 6 reputation-track 6 conservation-duplicate-2 6 duplicate-scoreboard-bonus-5-1 6 duplicate-scoreboard-bonus-5-2 6 duplicate-scoreboard-bonus-8-1 6 duplicate-scoreboard-bonus-8-2 6 conservation-track-duplicate 6 arknova-tooltipable-34 6
foxfor8[red]!!![/red]It's only through this way that you can upgrade *action* cards and you can only upgrade up to 4 *action* cards.
Simply hover your mouse over a pentagon to know what you will get as the bonus.
The bonuses in the left list here can be slightly different.
By supporting a [green]Conservation[/green] project, you can move a marker from here and receive the corresponding bonus.7arknova-tooltipable-53646ad59566cce00
foxfor8However, let's proceed with the *BUILD* action here!
Building a size 2 enclosure costs 4 money (2 * 2).
Additionally, by covering this tile, we will receive a bonus of 5 money.8arknova-tooltipable-29646ad59566cce00
foxfor8In *Ark Nova*, different colors are used to assist with memory:
1.Yellow corresponds to instant one-time bonuses.
2.Purple corresponds to ongoing bonuses that occur every *BREAK*.
[blue][tip][/blue]Brownish red corresponds to final-scoring components.
[blue][tip][/blue]Blue corresponds to LEVEL1 actions.
[blue][tip][/blue]Pink corresponds to LEVEL2 actions.1arknova-tooltipable-52646ad5c5f38b200
foxfor8Now let's talk about *SPONSORS*.
The *SPONSORS* action allows us to play sponsor cards, which provide various benefits and abilities.
Alternatively, you can push *BREAK X*, which will grant you *X* amount of money.
The value of *X* corresponds to the *strength* of *SPONSORS* action.
1btnChoose10646ad5ec114f800
foxfor8We will introduce *BREAK* later.
For now, let's focus on how to play cards from your hand.2card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys646ad5ec114f800
foxfor8There are 3 types of cards in *Ark Nova*:
[red]animal cards[/red], [blue]sponsor cards[/blue] and [green]conservation project cards[/green]. You can easily distinguish them by their color.
You can play sponsor cards by taking the *SPONSORS* action and animal cards by taking the *ANIMALS* action.
Conservation project cards can be treated as a special type of conservation project that can only be supported by you. We will introduce them in more detail later.3card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys646ad5ec114f800
foxfor8All animal cards and sponsor cards in the game follow the same rules:
1.*Cost*: The top left corner of the card indicates the cost required to play it.
2.*Restrictions*: Below the cost, you can find any specific restrictions or conditions that must be met to play the card.
3.*Effects*: Effects of the card are described at the bottom of the card.
1card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys646ad5f2959d800
foxfor8...
4.*Icon*: The card *ICON* is located in the top right corner.
5.*Long-term Effects*: If there is a long-term effect, it will be displayed at the top of the sponsor card.
6.*Final-scoring*: If there is a final-scoring effect, it will be shown in the bottom right corner of the sponsor card.2card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys646ad5f2959d800
foxfor8Since you can hover your mouse over a card at any time to know its detailed description, we'll keep it concise here.
This card can only be played when your [red]Appeal[/red] is lower than 25.
It requires a *strength 5* *SPONSORS* action as the cost.
It provides us with [red]Appeal[/red], 1 Primates *ICON* and a final scoring effect of 1 [green]Conservation[/green] when specific conditions are met. That's all.3card-S264_FreerangeNewWorldMonkeys646ad5f2959d800
foxfor8All animals and sponsor cards you played will be listed here. Once played, cards will only display their *ICON* and long-term effect (if applicable) on top.1inPlay-animals-94307346646ad5fe0c06d00
foxfor8Finally, let's explore the *ANIMALS* action.
With a *strength* of 5, the *ANIMALS* action allows us to play two animals at once.
In order to play an animal card, make sure to:
1.Have an empty enclosure that fulfills the animal's requirements in terms of size and adjacency to water or rock on your map.
2.Comply with any restrictions mentioned on the animal card.
3.Pay the animal's cost.1btnChoose8646ad6170fb9500
foxfor8Animal cards generally follow the similar rules with sponsors cards.
This animal card has a cost of 11 money and an at least size-2 enclosure.
Besides, it requires an Americas partner zoo.
Since we have established a partnership with the Zoo of the Americas, we can play it and enjoy a discount of 3!1card-A463_PanamanianWhitefacedCapuchin646ad6196209f00
foxfor8We place the animal here and flip this size-3 enclosure to mark it as occupied.1building-3646ad62059e8800
foxfor8By playing animal cards, we earn [red]Appeal[/red] and trigger their respective abilities.
[red]Appeal[/red] is written on the bottom right corner of animal cards marked by ticket symbol.
You can know animals' special abilities by hovering your mouse on animal cards.
This animal card allows us to draw one card from the deck.
2btnChoice0646ad6206097400
foxfor8[red]!!![/red]Remember, in *Ark Nova*, when multiple effects or bonuses trigger at the same time, you always have the freedom to choose the order of resolution！3arknova-tooltipable-184646ad6206097400
foxfor8Then we play this animal.
This animal requires an enclosure with a minimum size of 1 and at least 1 adjacent water.1card-A478_ChineseWaterDragon646ad6274565600
foxfor8And we utilize its ability to sell cards in exchange for money...1btnChoice1646ad62da665e00
foxfor8These are the *5 actions*!
As mentioned earlier, certain place bonuses or track bonuses allow you to upgrade your *actions* to *LEVEL 2*.
*LEVEL 2 actions* are more powerful but generally follow the same rules as *LEVEL 1*.
I'll leave it to you to explore during gameplay.
[red]!!![/red]Simply hover your mouse over the *actions* cards to learn more.1action-card-slot-94307346-3646ad67f5cb7c00conservation-duplicate-2 6 action-card-8 6 action-card-slot-94307346-2 6 action-card-slot-94307346-3 6 action-card-slot-94307346-4 6 action-card-slot-94307346-5 6
foxfor8Additional details:
*LEVEL 2 BUILD* allows you to construct special buildings of size 5 to house multiple special animals: *Reptile House* and *Large Bird Aviary*.
If you have previously played these animals, you can relocate them to the new building and flip the enclosure to indicate that it is unoccupied and can be used for playing other animal cards.2action-card-6646ad67f5cb7c00action-card-slot-94307346-3 6
foxfor8And with *LEVEL 2 ASSOCIATION*, you have the option to make donations during each *ASSOCIATION* action.
Donating allows you to spend money in order to earn 1 [green]Conservation[/green].
However, with each player's donation, the cost of the next donation increases.
3association-board-0646ad67f5cb7c00association-board-0 6
foxfor8One more thing...
To fill or make your player marker access any pink area you can see on the screen, you need to have the corresponding *LEVEL 2 actions* available!4arknova-tooltipable-46646ad67f5cb7c00reputation-10-holder 6 reputation-11-holder 6 reputation-12-holder 6 reputation-13-holder 6 reputation-14-holder 6 reputation-15-holder 6 association-board-0 6
foxfor8Finally, let's talk about *BREAK*.
Similar to other board games, *Ark Nova* is played in rounds.
However, in *Ark Nova*, the rounds are conducted in the form of *BREAK*.5btnChoose7646ad67f5cb7c00
foxfor8Take a look at here.
The number displayed here indicates when the *BREAK* will occur.
Once the number reaches its limit, it's time for the *BREAK*.6break-counter-wrapper646ad67f5cb7c00break-counter-wrapper 6
foxfor8Remember, as we mentioned earlier, you have the option to use the *SPONSORS* *action* to push the *BREAK* *X* and receive the corresponding amount of money.
Additionally, the *CARDS* *action* also pushes the *BREAK* by 2.7btnChoose7646ad67f5cb7c00
foxfor8So we take the *CARDS* action again to push the *BREAK* count to 9/9,
and the *BREAK* phase will be performed for *every player* once your action is over.1break-counter-wrapper646ad68668e7b00
foxfor8You are the player who triggers the *BREAK*.
As a result, you receive an *X token* here([red]in the red dashed box[/red]).
Before taking your action, you can choose to spend any number of *X tokens* to increase the *strength* of your next action by the same amount.
However, please note that you can only hold a maximum of 5 *X tokens* at a time.2counter-94307346-xtoken646ad68669f0900counter-94307346-xtoken 1 overall_player_board_94307346 1
foxfor8Instead of drawing cards, we can *SNAP* only by performing the *strength 5* *CARDS* action.
Here is the card display area.
*SNAP* enables us to select one from the six cards displayed in the card display area.
Sometimes you may come across descriptions like "within your [blue]Reputation[/blue] range." It refers to all the cards that are above and to the left of your [blue]Reputation[/blue] marker.
3card-A450_CommonWombat646ad68670b3500board-pool 6
foxfor8Confirm the *SNAP* and now let's learn about the *BREAK* phase.
4card-A450_CommonWombat646ad68670b3500
foxfor81.During the *BREAK* phase, the first thing you need to do is discard your hand cards. You can only keep a maximum of 3 hand cards when the *BREAK* occurs.
Fortunately, we only have 3 cards, so we don't need to discard any.
[blue][tip][/blue]If you acquire a specific partner university, your hand card limit will increase to 5.1pagemaintitletext646ad697b852e00
foxfor8[blue][tip][/blue]2.Then, all tokens are removed from your *action* cards. However, in this tutorial, we won't focus on that aspect.
If you encounter any token on *action* cards in the future, simply hover your mouse over them to read their effects.1pagemaintitletext646ad6a2de0bb00

foxfor8If you don't want or are unable to perform the *5 actions*, you have the option to choose this alternative.

Ark Nova ei noudata säännöllistä kierrosjärjestelmää. Pelaajat pelaavat vuoro kerrallaan, kunnes taukoradalla on päästy loppuun asti.
Toiminto-, sponsori- tai eläinkortin vaikutus voi aiheuttaa tämän tapahtumisen. Jos käynnistät tauon, pelaa nykyinen vuorosi loppuun, ota taukomerkki, ja sen jälkeen kaikki pelaajat suorittavat seuraavat vaiheet järjestyksessä:
1. Käsikorttiraja:
Jos sinulla on enemmän käsikortteja kuin käsikorttiraja sallii, poista valitsemasi ylimääräiset kortit poistopakkaan.
Tavallisesti käsikorttien raja on 3, mutta tietty yliopisto antaa sinun pitää 5 korttia.
2. Merkit toimintokorteilla:
Jos sinulla on kerroin-, myrkky- ja/tai kuristusmerkkejä toimintokorteillasi, palauta ne varastoon. Niillä ei ole enää vaikutusta.
3. Järjestölauta:
Palauta kaikki järjestötyöntekijäsi järjestölaudalta takaisin eläintarhakarttasi muistiolle.
Niistä tulee jälleen aktiivisia työntekijöitä.
Täytä kumppanieläintarhojen ja yliopistojen valikoima niin, että jokaista eri kumppanieläintarhaa ja yliopistoa on jälleen yksi kappale saatavilla.
4. Täydennä korttivalikoima:
Poista kaksi alimmaisinta korttia valikoimasta (kansiot 1 ja 2) poistopinoon, siirrä jäljellä olevia kortteja alemmas ja täydennä valikoima.
5. Ansaitse tuloja:
Kerää tuloa eläintarhasi vetovoiman mukaan. Ota vetovoimalaskurisi kohdalla oleva rahamäärä.
Kerää kioskituloja eläintarhakartaltasi. Katso jokainen kioski kartallasi erikseen.
Ota 1 raha jokaista kosketuksissa olevaa ainutlaatuista rakennusta, erikoisaitausta, varattua perusaitausta, ja paviljonkia kohden.
Rakennuksella pitää olla ainakin yksi sivu kiinni kioskissa jotta sen katsotaan olevan liitoksissa sen kanssa.
Tyhjä perusaitaus ei anna tuloja (mutta tyhjä erikoisaitaus antaa).
Kerää kaikki tulot, jotka on ilmoitettu tällä symbolilla:
Symboli esiintyy joillain sponsorikorteilla ja joissain karttasi vasemmassa reunassa olevissa bonuksissa.
Ota ainoastaan eläintarhakartallasi olevat bonukset, jotka olet aktivoinut (ne, joista olet siirtänyt pelaajakuution suojeluhankkeelle).
Tervetuloa pelaamaan Ark Novaa BGA:ssa. Tämä on lyhyt esittely käyttöliittymästä, jotta saisit varmasti kunnollisen pelikokemuksen. Huomioi kuitenkin, että tämä ei korvaa sääntöjen osaamista, vaan esittelemme miten peli on toteutettu BGA:ssa.
Aloitetaan paneelista nimesi alla: erittäin hyödyllinen työkalulaatikko.
Yläosio: pelin edistymistieto, jonka ilmoitustapa riippuu pelimoodista: Moninpelissä näet edistymisen taukoa kohti ja yksinpelissä näet kierroslaskurin.
Minun naamani: avaa tämä opastuskierros uudelleen jos tarvitset apua myöhemmin
Kytkin: kytkee apulukitustilan: kun päällä, asioiden klikkaaminen ei tee pelin toimintoja, sen sijaan näet apuohjeet jokaiselle elementille jossa on kysymysmerkki. Tämä tila päällä et tee vahinkoklikkauksia
Settings: open the settings menu, allowing you lots of ways to customize your experience to your needs. Take some time to play with them until you’re comfortable.
Pistelauta: avaa pistelaudan koko näytölle, josta näet vetovoima-, tulo- ja suojelupisteet jokaiselta pelaajalta, sekä myös saatavilla olevat bonuslaatat.
Moninpelissä x-merkin symboli on tässä muistuttamassa, että kun taukoradan päätepiste on saavutettu (kun pelaajat ottavat kortteja, pelaavat sponsoritoiminnon rahan ottamiseksi tai käyttävät eläinkykyä Hyppely), tauon käynnistänyt pelaaja saa x-merkin.
Klikkaamalla yläosaa näet muistutuksen siitä, mitä tapahtuu tauon aikana: käsikorttien määrän tarkistaminen, järjestötyöntekijöiden palauttaminen, mahdollisten merkkien poistaminen toimintokorteilta, tulon ansaitseminen ja korttivalikoiman sekä järjestölaudan täydentäminen.
Tämän alla on pelaajapaneelit. Nekin sisältävät hyödyllistä tietoa.
Nimesi vieressä: paina silmän kuvaketta näyttääksesi vastaava eläintarhalauta.
Nykyiset pisteet: BGA laskee pisteet julkaisijan tekemän muutoksen mukaan (poikkeaa 100:lla)
Tämänhetkinen rahamäärä
Tämänhetkinen x-merkkien määrä
Tämänhetkinen mainetaso
Tämänhetkinen suojelupistetaso
Tämänhetkinen vetovoimataso ja kuinka paljon tuloja saat joka vuoron päätteeksi
Käsikorttien määrä, yllä oleva pienempi numero kertoo pelaajalla olevien loppupisteytyskorttien määrän.
Näiden alla näet toimintakorttien nykyisen järjestyksen vahvuudesta 1 vahvuuteen 5, sekä mitkä kortit ovat päivitetty (vaaleanpunaisena). Vie hiiri näiden kuvakkeiden päälle nähdäksesi toimintakortin molemmat puolet ja siten voit muistuttaa itseäsi siitä mitä näillä toiminnoilla voi ja ei voi tehdä.
Näet myös heidän pelaamansa korttisymbolit, joten voit seurata kuinka lähellä he ovat suojeluhankkeiden vaatimusten täyttämistä.
Itse asiassa sinun ei tarvitse klikata juuri silmäkuvaketta, vaan klikkaamalla mitä tahansa pelaajapaneelin kohtaa näet kyseisen pelaajan eläintarhalaudan.
Sitten on kartta. Muistiosta löytyy kartan omistajan nimi ja nuolet, joilla voi nopeasti vaihtaa toisten karttoihin. Lisäksi muistiossa on kartan nimi ja nimen päälle siirtyminen antaa lisätietoa kartan erikoiskyvyistä.
Eläintarhan kartan yläpuolella on kapea rivi, jolla näkyy, kuinka monta mitäkin symbolia pelaajalla on, kuten pelaajapaneelissakin.
Karttasi vasemmalla puolella ovat bonukset, joita voi saada tukemalla suojeluhankkeita. Osoittamalla bonuksia näet niiden vaikutukset.
Kartan keskiosa näyttää paikat, joihin voit laittaa aitauksia ja muita rakennuksia.
Eläintarhasi kartan oikealla puolella on tila kumppanieläintarhoille ja kumppaniyliopistoille. Niiden kerääminen antaa oikeuden tiettyihin bonuksiin.
Voit klikata lapiota karttasi oikeassa yläkulmassa nähdäksesi kaikki Rakennus-toiminnolla rakennettavissa olevat aitaukset!
Eläintarhasi kartan alla on laajempi kuvaus toimintokorteista. Voit pitää kursoria kortin päällä nähdäksesi kummankin puolen toimintokortistasi.
Kartan vieressä on pelaajan pelaamat kortit: eläimet vasemmalla, sponsorit oikealla. Riippuen käsikorttien sijainnin asetuksista, saatat nähdä myös käsikorttisi tässä.
Oletusarvoisesti pääset näkemään käsikorttisi klikkaamalla näitä painikkeita ruudun vasemmassa alalaidassa. Klikkaamalla vasemmanpuoleista näet eläimet/sponsorisi, oikeanpuoleisella painikkeella puolestaan loppupisteytyskorttisi.
Tällä alueella sijaitsee mainerata sekä valikoiman korttirivi. Jokainen pelaaja aloittaa 1 maineella, ja mainetasoa nostamalla pelaajat pystyvät päivittämään toimintokortin, saamaan uuden työntekijän, ja mahdollisesti saamaan muitakin etuja. Monet pelin toiminnoista antavat sinun ottaa kortteja valikoimasta mainetason mukaan, mikä tarkoittaa kortteja mainemerkkisi ylä- tai vasemmalla puolella.
Huomioi, että maine ei voi ylittää tasoa 9 ennen kuin olet päivittänyt korttitoiminnon (huomaa vaaleanpunainen tausta).
Jotkin päivitetyt kortit mahdollistavat korttien pelaamisen suoraan valikoimasta (mainetason mukaan) - tähän kuuluu ylimääräinen hinta, joka on ilmoitettu jokaisen kortin oikeassa yläkulmassa (1 vasemmanpuolimmaiselle kortille, 2 seuraavalle, jne.).
Ja viimeiseksi järjestölauta. Yläpuolella näytetään suojeluradan 10 ensimmäistä ruutua, jotta jäljellä olevien bonusten ja pelaajien etenemisen seuraaminen olisi helpompaa. Klikkaa mistä tahansa kyseisen laudan kohdasta näyttääksesi koko pisteenlaskurata.
Laudan vasemmalla laidalla ovat pelaajien sillä hetkellä reservissä olevat työntekijät, mikä on tärkeä tieto kun mietit, mitä muut pelaajat voivat tehdä vuorollaan.
Järjestölaudan alapuolella on pelin perussuojeluhankkeet - ne näyttävät, kuinka monta symbolia sinun tarvitsee kerätä saadaksesi suojelupisteitä. Muista, että voit tukea jokaista hanketta vain kerran.
Järjestölaudan yläpuolella on paikat muille suojeluhankkeille. Nämä saattavat tulla poistetuiksi pelistä, jos pelaajat pelaavat korvaavia hankkeita pelin aikana
BGA:n toteutus sisältää 2 sääntöuudistusta Ark Novan julkaisijalta, jotka ilmoitettiin julkisesti tässä keskustelussa:
BGG-keskustelu
Pisteytys: kaikissa suojelupisteruuduissa on pieni luku, ja konaispisteiden määrittämiseksi tarvitsee vain lisätä vetovoimaan sen ruudun numero, jossa suojelupistemerkki on. Kahden merkin välistä etäisyyttä ei enää tarvitse laskea. Jos merkkisi risteävät, pisteesi ovat yli 100 ja jos eivät niin alle 100. Molemmat pisteet näytetään tässä toteutuksessa, sekä uusi arvo (alkaen -14:stä) että vanha arvo (alkaa -114 ja nousee 0:aan pelin lopuksi).
Yksinpeli ja sponsorikortit, joiden vaatimuksena on "korkeintaan 25 vetovoimaa": Jos aloitat yksinpelin 10 tai 20 vetovoimalla, vaatimuksessa pitäisi lukea 35 tai 45 vetovoimaa.
Yksikään koodi ei ole virheetöntä. Mutta VÄÄRIEN BUGI-ILMOITUSTEN määrä on noin 40%, joten ennen kuin ilmoitat bugista, varmistathan (kahdesti) säännöistä, onko se varmasti bugi vai ei. Sen jälkeen noudata seuraavia ohjeita.
Jos ongelma liittyy korttiin, anna kortin nimi JA numero.
Jos kielesi ei ole englanti, tarkistathan englanninkielisen kortin kuvauksen. Jos käännös kielellesi on virheellinen, älä ilmoita bugista vaan käytä käännösmoduulia (Yhteisö > Käännös) korjaaksesi virhe suoraan.
Kun kohtaat bugin, päivitä sivu tarkistaaksesi lähteekö se pois. Bugin etsimisessä ja korjaamisessa auttaa, jos tiedämme lähteekö bugi pois päivittämisellä vai ei, joten kerro se ilmoittaessasi bugista!
Sisällytä SIIRRON NUMERO ilmoitukseen. Tämä tieto löytyy ikkunan vasemmasta yläreunasta: Siirto #X
Mikäli mahdollista, pyri liittämään kuvakaappaus käyttäen imgur- tai jotain muuta pilvipalvelua
Älä unohda selittää pelaajalle mikä toiminto tehdä tekstissä. Huomaa että seuraava toiminto uusinassa TÄYTYY olla pelaajan Visitor-395 tekemä.
Huomaa: voit napsauttaa mitä tahansa pelin elementtiä korostaaksesi sen kun tämä vaihe on käynnissä.
Saatavilla olevat merkinnät : *text in bold* [red]text in red[/red] [green]text in green[/green] [blue]text in blue[/blue] !!! => [tip] => [img]URL[/img] => Display an image. Tip: you may use Snipboard.io to upload an image, and then copy/paste the URL.
