Board Game Arena

Hi everyone,

I have been developping the second map pack and it's now ready to be tested by the community.
Since ArkNova is a popular game here, I want to try to avoid deploying any breaking change into production which is why it's currently available on the side project that was used for Marine World developement : https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=arknovamw
If you want to help testing this new pack and need an access to that one, let me know!

I will also use that side repo to test other changes/bug fixes, I will try to update the following list to let you know what you should stress-test :
- hypnosis rework: should now work correctly, including interaction with MW
- map4 mid build + more relaxed venom pay
- MW buy sponsor token prevent auto-confirm
- animal sizes counters near played cards
- deck/discard counters in info panel

Best,
Tisaac

I am in for this just make sure Map Pack 2 is the available choices to choose from, I take it?

Just wanted to say thanks for working on this! I’m excited to play with the new maps!

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Thanks a lot!
After testing some of the maps, I have not found any rule problems or unstable states.

But two things that seem not to be bugs:
1. The maps don´t have names (except for on the map graphics)
2. I get a wild mixture of German and English. The game tells me that the translation is incomplete and asks me whether I want to contribute, but when clicking the link to the translation center, it says only the developer may translate (and the game does not show up anymore in the game list for translations).
It is funny anyway that there is translation missing; I clearly remember having translated for "arknovamw" (not regular arknova) some months ago including texts belonging to map pack 2, which are gone now. It was almost 100% translated then. What happend to that?

So yeah since there are some "TODO" markers in this - and i have yet to read the instructions for these boards - but will. Let's start with what it means to store, it sounds like dig, since there is a confirmation presuming it replaces the card or some other "no going back implication".

So yeah how do you want to deal with this, which things are forum related questions and besides any non-functional should go the bugs/fixes.

Just report bugs in the bug/suggestion systems. This is clearly one of them

Please add me to the beta, I didn't have enough unique games to be a reviewer.

I play daily ark nova, but dont have enough games feel free to add me as a beta tester if you want

Have payed a few rounds so far and loving it. Looking forward to it going live.
