Ark & Noah – originally shown under the name Diluvium
– is a game of strategy in which players must not only compete for
points, but must also work together to build and load the Ark. Everyone
shares the task of saving the animals, but in the end there can be only
one winner!
In the game, the players are Noah and his sons, and they must find
the animal couples and load them on the Ark before the Flood starts. In
each round, they will choose which action they will take: Searching for
Animals; Collecting Wood, Food or Pitch; Building Corrals in their
color; or Loading Animals on the Ark. This choice also determines the
round order for the next turn. Players score points by loading animals
in the right corrals, possibly in the player's color. Thus, in each
round there is a strategical phase (choose action) and a tactical phase
(execute action).
