Description

In Sanctuary, you'll get to design and manage your very own zoo, complete with a diverse range of animals, buildings, and projects. With 135 unique zoo tiles to choose from, each game will be different, and you'll need to find the perfect combination to create a thriving zoological establishment. As you build your zoo, you'll need to balance conservation goals with attracting visitors, all while navigating the challenges of a modern, scientifically-managed zoo. The tiles you choose will have different effects, helping you to achieve your goals and make your zoo a must-visit destination. As a player, you'll have a set of four action cards to manage your gameplay, and the power of each action will depend on the slot the card is in. These cards will let you play projects and animals from specific habitats, such as forest, rock, or water, giving you a lot of flexibility and strategy to consider. With a playtime of 40 to 100 minutes, and a complexity level that's easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games, Sanctuary is a game that's accessible to a wide range of players, from solo gamers to groups of up to five friends. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, you'll find that Sanctuary is a game that's full of surprises and challenges, with a unique mix of tile placement, card drafting, and set collection mechanics. Sanctuary is the latest game from designer Mathias Wigge, and it builds on the success of its predecessor, Ark Nova, with a simplified and streamlined set of mechanics that make it easy to learn and fun to play. With its focus on animals, the environment, and territory building, Sanctuary is a game that's all about creating a harmonious and thriving ecosystem, and the sense of satisfaction you'll get from building a successful zoo is incredibly rewarding. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new challenge, Sanctuary is a game that's sure to delight, with its engaging gameplay, beautiful tiles, and endless possibilities for creativity and strategy.
