Terraform Planets – Needed so they can be expanded onto and colonised.

Generate the Various Resources – These are needed for pretty much all of the below.

Important things to consider, and this is by no means a complete list, are: But to summarise, Gaia Project is played over a set number of turns, and each turn players can, one by one, take as many different actions as they have the resources for, and as the game progresses they will likely be able to afford more actions per turn or more expensive actions. I'm not going to write a turn by turn description because there is so much in the way of potential actions that it would be meaningless. Ultimately, there is an absolute mass going on, from special abilities of each of many races, specific objectives for each round, other special powers that may change from round to round, and the generation of various resources which in turn allow further expansion.

In Gaia Project gameplay is all about expansion, be it the economy, to the stars or researching new technology and so on. Gaia Project is an economic engine driven space game of expansion and development, but to simply say this says nothing about the incredibly rich and diverse game play and the many challenging decisions that will need to be made as each player strives towards victory. It is in the same family as Terra Mystica, drawing on some of the same principles and to my mind it takes some of the mechanics of Terra Mystica up a few notches. Generally speaking, a game is going to take a couple of hours, maybe a bit more with four players, and it is best with three or four players. Furthermore, each race has specific special abilities which add to a rich diversity of possible actions as they expand into the universe. To aid the expansion there are various technologies which can be researched Terraforming, navigation, artificial intelligence, gaiaforming, economy and research - each leading to advanced technologies and special bonuses. Gaia Project is a space colonisation and development game where various races compete to develop and grow through competing for the most desirable planets and producing various resources. A two-player game is hosted on seven sectors. 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. To do all of that, each group has special skills and abilities. 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. In addition, Gaia planets can be used by all factions for colonization, and Transdimensional planets can be changed into Gaia planets. As in the original Terra Mystica, fourteen different factions live on seven different kinds of planets, and each faction is 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 the end, only the most advanced faction will win.Gaia Project is a standalone sequel to Terra Mystica.
