Board Game Arena

Well, I just came to see that Ark Nova is in the "For regular Players" categories in complexity.
I haven't played this game yet, but know that this game is complex (BGG ranked it 3.75/5 in complexity), and I for sure know that this is not a "Regular Game".

I'm not demanding anything, but could you please move this to the "For Core Gamers" category? Beginners might see this as just their average "Normal" game when you have to go through a lot to learn this.

Not sure what you mean. The complexity rating on BGA is marked 4/5.

That's their point. With that complexity rating they believe it shouldn't be categorized as "For regular players," but rather "For core players."

FYI: On the "Games" page you can filter by complexity, the categories being Casual, Regular, and Core (paraphrased) in order of increasing complexity.

Ah, thanks. I didn't know about that filter.

It's just putting cute animals into enclosures, how hard can it be?

Very hard

Honestly, this game is for regular players. It feels hardcore at first because of everything going on, but its core functionality is very straightforward. There's only five actions that have the option to do on your turn.

I agree. It’s fiddly, complex, but not complicated. It’s really straightforward to play, the complexity comes in knowing when and what actions to take, and managing all the things around you.
