	Ark Nova is a sprint, not a marathon. It all boils down to gaining appeal points and conservation points faster than anyone else. A beginning player is often distracted by the many options and animals. "Burst out" your available options as quickly as you can, establish a superior position on points, then work to end the game as quickly as you can.		''Ark Nova'' is a sprint, not a marathon. It all boils down to gaining appeal points and conservation points faster than anyone else. A beginning player is often distracted by the many options and animals. "Burst out" your available options as quickly as you can, establish a superior position on points, then work to end the game as quickly as you can.

	The pace of the game is: cheap animals -> medium animals -> expensive animals. Run away from small animals like the plague. Small animals won't net you big points and your opponent will outpace you. Your goal for any break is to exhaust your money on animals, draw your next animals, build enclosures for animals, do an Association action once or twice, and play a synergistic sponsor.
