Sanctuary is a strategic board game where you build a modern zoo focused on conservation.

In Sanctuary, you combine animals, buildings, and projects to create a unique zoological paradise. With 135 different tiles and four action cards, you plan clever moves to both attract visitors and achieve important conservation goals. The game mechanics are inspired by Ark Nova but simplified and refined for a more accessible gaming experience.

Play alone or with up to five players, and explore how different habitats—forests, cliffs, and water—affect your strategic choices. Sanctuary offers an exciting mix of planning, card play, and puzzle-solving in an engaging animal theme.
