Scoring Categories
Ark Nova has no separate score track: your score is the distance between your appeal marker and your conservation marker. The game ends once a player's two markers cross, and players whose markers haven't crossed end with a negative score.
Appeal
Number input · min 0
Your final appeal value after end-game effects and final scoring cards.
Conservation Target
Number input
The target number shown at your conservation marker's position on the shared track. Enter it as a negative number — your score is appeal minus this target.
Common scoring mistakes
- Adding conservation points to appeal — subtract the target number instead.
- Forgetting final scoring cards and other end-game effects before reading the target.
