A new board game about running a zoo has been getting a lot of attention in board game circles. Ark Nova is about running a zoo, keeping the public happy and contributing to conservation projects. I've played it twice and can confirm it's heavy, thinky, and pretty hard, but also lots of fun! (Also long, our games have been around 3 hours so far)

It is cool! If you've played Terraforming Mars then Ark Nova is similar enough that you can get the hang of it pretty quickly. It's not cheap though and as it's currently between print runs, it's going for silly money.

There's a Wingspan thread here (there's been two expansions released so far, with more in the planning) : Wingspan Board Game
 
I have Terraforming Mars, but I must be doing something wrong while trying to play the game because it just plays plain odd for us… I need to watch some of the online instruction video’s, because the rule book doesn’t seem to help.

And now we’re back to Wingspan. I have both expansions, don’t worry :cool:
 
For anyone on BoardGameArena, Ark Nova is now playable online: • Board Game Arena

The implementation is really good and plays very well

Can you play against an AI on your own?
Click to expand...

Am not sure if BGA does AI opponents, but there are plenty of real human opponents to play against, both in real time or turn based, you just need an account to play. The board game itself has an official, and some unofficial, solo-mode opponents; the ARNO solo opponent gets good reviews.
 
There's an expansion planned right? I've heard it's focused on marine/aquatic animals
