One of the best board games of recent years is Ark Nova, a dense zoo-builder that involves a mix of tile drafting and placement, while also meeting certain randomly chosen requirements. While Ark Nova is a triumph, it’s also an extremely complex game that takes hours to complete. That's where Sanctuary comes in.
Publisher Feuerland Spiele has now released Sanctuary as a simpler, quicker alternative to Ark Nova, one that uses many of the same mechanics but without the layers of complexity. Want to go hands-on with the critically-acclaimed zoo board game, but aren't keen on losing half your day to it? This is for you.
