Guessing about 10 minutes. Of course, the more times you play the quicker set-up goes. Plus it helps when others you play with become more familiar with the game so they can help. **Q: Is the pre-order for the Marine Worlds expansion the English version? The cards in the photo are in German.** A: I'm not sure. This is for the base game only so you'd have to ask about that on the marine worlds expansion post. **Q: Will this game fit on a 3.5x3.5 ft table for two players?** A: No - this game takes alot of space! ## Frequently Bought Together - Capstone Games Ark Nova Card Drafting, Hand Management Strategy Board Game, 1-4 Players, 90 to 150 Minute Play - Capstone Games Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 2 - Game Accessory Expansion Set, Expand Your Collection, All New Mechanics and Layouts to Explore - Ages 15+ - Capstone Games Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 1 - Game Accessory Pack, Expand Your Collection, All New Mechanics and Layouts to Explore --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/608674870-capstone-games-ark-nova-animals-adult](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/608674870-capstone-games-ark-nova-animals-adult) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
