Ark Nova

You must meet all enclosure conditions printed on the Animal card (minimum enclosure size, any water/rock adjacency, and whether it can/should go into a special enclosure); flip or mark the enclosure when placed and execute the animal’s immediate effects (Rulebook p10–11). If you later move animals into a newly built special enclosure, follow the errata rule about flipping the smallest occupied enclosure that meets the requirements (FAQ p1).

Each break you get 1 money per unique building, special enclosure, occupied standard enclosure, and pavilion that shares at least one side with that kiosk (an empty standard enclosure gives no income) (Rulebook p18). Kiosks must also obey build-placement rules (including the 3-space minimum distance between kiosks) when you place them (Rulebook p9).

Advance the Break token whenever actions specify; when it reaches the last space you finish your current action and trigger a break where hand limits, worker returns, display replenishment and income are resolved, then the Break token is returned to the start (Rulebook p6, p17–18). You gain an X-token when you move the Break token to the last space, and X-tokens may be spent before performing an action to increase its strength (Rulebook p6–7).

On the Cards action you always advance the Break token then draw per the action table or, if your slot strength is high enough, you may 'snap' to take exactly one card from the display regardless of reputation (Rulebook p8). If your Cards action is upgraded you may draw within your reputation range (and snap from a lower strength), and your Reputation track determines which folders in the display are within range (Rulebook p8).

No — requirements printed on your zoo map (e.g., needing an upgraded Association or Build action to take a 3rd partner zoo or to build on upgrade-icon spaces) always apply, regardless of whether the effect comes from a Bonus tile or other source (FAQ p1–p2; Rulebook p6, p13).

No — you may only play Sponsor cards from your hand unless an action specifically allows playing from the display; when you do play from the display you must pay the folder cost and the card must be within your reputation range (Rulebook p16; FAQ p1).
