Gaia project board game online5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a relatively simple thing to simply endure a three hour game of Gaia Project and reach the end, but it’s an entirely different prospect to choose a faction (from the fourteen fairly unique options), identify your optimal way of winning and then driving that plan to fruition – whilst at the same time handling the inevitable spanners thrown by your opponents. Gaia Project is, according to many, actually one of the heaviest and most complex modern board games to navigate, which is demonstrated by its Board Game Geek weight of around 4.30 (out of a possible 5.) This rating far exceeds the average for a typical eurogame and even other games that are considered heavy are considered as much as twenty five percent easier to pick up and run with.ĭespite this rating, Gaia Project isn’t actually that complex at a mechanical level, it simply asks an awful lot from the players in terms of foresight and planning, as well as moment to moment decision making. Gaia Project, as the name suggests, focuses on the seeding and cultivation of perfectly habitable planets all over the galaxy.Īs always in a eurogame, what that really means is that the player who collects the most points in Gaia Project will win, although when I put it like that, it oversimplifies the scope and scale of this ambitious game by quite a long way. In 2017 though, designers Jens Drogemuller and Helge Ostertag teamed up again to iterate their original design and release Gaia Project, a more or less direct sequel (in a mechanical sense) to the original game, albeit set around an entirely different theme. Re-implementations are common in the board gaming world, but with a game as classic as Terra Mystica, the decision to release a follow up must been a challenging one. ![]()
