How is this going for you and the rules of Ark Nova?

Plays surprisingly smooth now that we are into it! Overall it's a lot less messy than I first thought. Lots of mechanism but they work well together and make sense so easy to remember.

...when you release an animal, you also loose the tickets...

Haha, we made that mistake too! But the way it works makes thematic sense. And I guess in some situations it could be used to get yourself back under 25 appeal to allow playing cards with that requirement.
