End of Game Statements

Bill Scharf (Zyzzx Zoo):  There’s too much about this game I don’t understand yet, so my comments would be useless. I can say the rule book isn’t the most intuitive I’ve seen! Thanks for running  it, and congrats to Keith in his easy win.

Chris Geggus (GEGS):  Well played Keith, gave us a good roasting. I just could not get going with this one. Nothing paired up and those venom tokens absolutely screwed me when I did not have even 2 coins to play through them. A painful lesson. Thanks Chris H.

Dave Hooton (Jerspastic Park):  Congratulations to Keith. He had a strong start and kept going.

At least I had a positive score. This is the third time I've played, so my feel of the game's timing hasn't solidified. I had a couple of bad choices and wasted turns early and could have made the game closer.

Keith Marple (GWZOO):  Thank you Chris for running a really fun game, it’s a great addition to the collection.  This was my third game of Ark Nova, and I learned in the previous two to prioritize the green track over all else, so I just tried to do anything that moved me on that track, especially early on.  I also mostly ignored animal synergies, which I found to be underpowered in prior games, and again just played anything that moved me on the green track or got me closer to a conservation project that would. 

Thank you all for a fun game and I look forward to more tries of this one!
