Gaia Project

Gaia Project is a new game in the line of Terra Mystica. As in the original Terra Mystica, fourteen different factions live on seven different kinds of planets, and factions are bound to their own home planets, so to develop and grow, they must terraform neighboring planets into their home environments in competition with the other groups. In addition, Gaia planets can be used by all factions for colonization, and Transdimensional planets can be changed into Gaia planets.

What is Gaia Project

Gaia Project is a new game in the line of Terra Mystica. As in the original Terra Mystica, fourteen different factions live on seven different kinds of planets, and factions are bound to their own home planets, so to develop and grow, they must terraform neighboring planets into their home environments in competition with the other groups. In addition, Gaia planets can be used by all factions for colonization, and Transdimensional planets can be changed into Gaia planets.

All factions can improve their skills in six different areas of development: Terraforming, Navigation, Artificial Intelligence, Gaiaforming, Economy, Research; leading to advanced technology and special bonuses. To do all of that, each group has special skills and abilities.

The playing area is made of ten sectors, allowing a variable set-up and thus an even bigger replay value than its predecessor Terra Mystica. A two-player game is hosted on seven sectors.

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.

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.
