Ark Nova

Description
Note: This mod is based off of the Tabletopia version of the game (except for the cards, which are from Boardgamegeek) and the rulebook / components do not necessarily reflect the final product.

Description from Boardgamegeek[boardgamegeek.com]

In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.

Each player has a set of five action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. The cards in question are:

* CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards).
* BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions.
* ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.
* ASSOCIATION: Allows your association workers to carry out different tasks.
* SPONSORS: Allows you to play a sponsor card in your zoo or to raise money.

255 cards featuring animals, specialists, special enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a special ability, are at the heart of Ark Nova. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and collect conservation points.

Added the rulebook for maps 9 and 10, located in a bag so you don't need to load it all the time.

I've added two promo maps that will release at Gen Con, and a some blatantly obvious notes so people stop asking me things.

Hi, thanks for the great mod!
I have just one complaint: the maps 1 to 8 are written in german (I supose). Could you fix it? Thank you!

TTS will yell at you if a link is actually missing. Anything else is an error with your local cache: turn off mod caching from the configuration menu before loading the mod to force it to redownload the files (you can turn caching back on afterwards).

I don't have a repo, but all TTS mods are open source. If you make changes, you can post a save file (e.g, google drive) and I can reupload it here.

I'm aware of SmashesButton's changes but I haven't bothered porting them over because they either a) need fixing, or b) don't add enough for me to care.

What I'd really like right now is some proper scans of the player boards.

Link to the image for the 1-space enclosure seems to be missing, looks like a black tile. Also, do you have a repo for this where we can contribute?

Great job on this mod! I own the physical game and it's pretty spot on.

Graphic for the 1 space enclosure is busted, just a black hexagon. Makes the mod somewhat unplayable.
