Is it possible to use Nova as my launcher, but dedicate one of my home screens to Google Now cards like how my phone came as stock Marshmallow?

Only option I know offhand is to add the Google Now widget to one of your homescreens
 
What I did was add the "Swipe Up" action to the [app drawer] button to go to the Google App... Works great to quickly get to Google Now.
 
I set my double tap option to the Google now app, works great for me and allows quick access.

Okay. Maybe I'm too dumb for launchers.

But, Nova was on sale for $0.99..

Maybe I need to pick up a user guide because I'm just not getting it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

That's Nova Prime, which is like an unlock key for features in the Nova Launcher.

Make sure you download Nova Launcher as well.

Dive off the deep end man. Just throw yourself into it. You'll get the hang of it.

I did dive off the deep end!

I spent 99¢!

That's huge for me. I'm pretty sure some guy at Google has a plaque hanging in his office commemorating the day I coughed up that cash. ☺

I'm slowly getting things. I think what's been best is the ability to change the # of icons I can get on a screen.

Play around with Gestures, Actions, Activities and swipe up actions for individual icons. Great features and good fun.

Omg. I didn't think of this. Thanks for the tip.
Wait, I read that wrong. I thought you were making 'swipe up' go to Google Now.

I tried my home button to link to Spotify but it keeps going to Google Now.
