What is Gaia Project
Expand, research, upgrade, and settle the galaxy with one of 14 factions.
Gaia Project is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Terra Mystica! 14 different factions live on 7 different kinds of planets, and each faction can only thrive on their specific type of planet. To develop and grow, a faction must terraform neighboring planets into their home environments while competing with the other factions. Special Gaia planets can be used by all factions and rare Transdimensional planets can be changed into Gaia planets!
All factions can improve their skills in 6 unique areas of development which leads to advanced technology and special bonuses! To help out, each faction has its own unique special skills and abilities.
A challenging solo experience is also included in Gaia Project!

What the community says about Gaia Project
El mejor juego de Essen 2017. Mejora el Terra Mística y lo hace más rejugable y completo.

Muy buen juego, muy infravalorado bien compensado.... Un must si te gustan los euros
Es un juego de desarrollo y expansión de razas extraterrestres que deben colonizar planetas e ir fundando federaciones. Tiene una explicación bastante larga, porque tiene reglas que pueden resultar complejas para el no acostumbrado (no complejas por sí misma, sino por acumulación). Las razas son asimétricas. Y por lo visto, quien conozca Terra Mística no podrá pasar por alto el gran paralelismo entre ambos juegos. Es un juego largo y algo complejo. Sólo para jugones.
Juego con una curva inicial empinada pero una vez coges la dinámica te atrapa. El solitario es fabuloso.
PNP
I am giving a slight edge to Terra mystica because I enjoy the fantasy theme more and is also a tad bit easier to explain than Gaia, while also having more interaction between players (Gaia felt more multiplayer solitaire than Terra) and Gaia Project is also longer, but is still an excellent game, we all really enjoyed the new mechanics like the new research board with the new techs (although i do miss a bit the race to the top that was more present in Terra) and the different way of "terraforming" using the gaia planets. The factions seem more balanced too and I love the randomized map tiles.
