Re: Are endgame cards the worst design flaw of Ark Nova?
Some are easier than others, but I don't believe in the "favorite zoo is 4 free cp" myth. It forces cards to be upgraded ( which isn't a bad thing) and also kinda forces you to grab uni's ( again, usually not a bad thing but still a restriction) And you might have 2 difficult ones, but I f...

Re: Rules question - Primate breeding program
Nope, The wording is "Requires 1 ( animal type, i.e. predator, bird etc) and a partner zoo of the same continent" And while you are right that it doesnt say animals it does mention it by name ( birds) and not the icon. Also since it says the partner zoo needs to be of the SAME continent th...

Re: Excuse me, but isn't archelogist on silver lake kinda
Yes, either for the play money, or just getting rep.
Silver Lake has the most border bonus spaces and the fact 4 of them give money makes it very easy to abuse.
Not uncommon to get second worker from the rep track with it before the first break.

Re: Outdoor areas & flock
Sounds like a bug, but I know this has worked in the past. Do you have game id so we can check? FOund the game and checked the replay. It seems you end up with a size 3 flocker in your hand, but the largest herbivore in play you have is size 2. Flocking looks at the size of the herbivore you have in...

Honestly, I am surprised there is no option to just disable chat, or block someone from talking to you.

Re: Newbie question on strategy for X-tokens
Generally I would say no. And X token is worth more than 1 or 2 money ( with upgraded sponsor) ( the expansion makes this clear with the special action card that lets you sell or buy X tokens for 5 money each) But as with most good games, there can always be situations where it is correct to spend t...

Re: Proposed balance change for first player advantage
two player seems to be the most competative viable. 3 or 4 player and the chance of ( unintentional) kingmaking becomes huge. But giving X tokens can be scaled to 3 or 4 players easily. ( not sure if third player should get 2, or maybe only fourth player) Giving third or fourth player multiple Cleve...

Re: Proposed balance change for first player advantage
I think an X token is more flexible and a better solution than a free clever.
Especially if your actions are already in a fine order the clever would be wasted.

Re: ELO MADNESS
I think the best solution is to mianly focus on own mentality in this matter.
Why does the "fun" you had in the game come from teh ELO gained/lost?
Just be glad you played a nice tight game?
If Elo gains/loss really bug you that much perhaps play unranked and just enjoy the game that way.

Re: Making solo games last longer?
Perhaps you could make a 2 player game with hotseat for second player.
Not sure if possible but in normal games if one player quits the other has the option to keep playing.
That could be a solution if you want to finish game in own speed.
