Gaia Project Rules, Directions, Instructions

Overview: 

Gaia Project is a game very similar to Terra Mystica. As in Terra Mystica, there are 14 races bound to 7 different environments (in this case, planets). Players must expand their territory by terraforming the surrounding planets to the types of environments their race can live in. There are two unique territory spaces in Gaia Project that are different than Terra Mystica. First, Gaia Planets, which can be colonized by any race. Second, Transdimensional Planets, which can be transformed into Gaia planets (making them colonizable by any race).


The game has a development wherein six different characteristics can be improved through play: Terraforming, Navigation, Artificial Intelligence, Gaiaforming, Research, and Economy. Developing these various technologies improves your race’s efficiency and yield of the connected resource, technology,  or navigability.

The game also contains a larger playing area (10 sectors) than Terra Mystica, so there is more variation in repeat play. The game is designed for 1-4 players age 12 and up. Playtime ranges from 60-150 minutes per session.
