However, I still think they can coexist as the general feel of the games is a bit different even though Gaia definitely is a successor to TM. I also like the fact that you can add power to your bowls from the supply.Īt the moment I think that Gaia is better than TM. It makes it harder to gauge the best plays when it comes to using power. I played Terrans the first game and focused a lot on it. The introduction of Gaia Projects are also great. Even if they're playing same races in several games. The variable set up if the tech tiles is also a great idea, which makes players rethink what tracks they wish to focus on from game to game. As others have said the research track is vastly superior to the cult tracks in TM. I thought it was fantastic and am super excited to try it again. I've played Terra Mystica 7-8 times and played Gaia Project for the first time this week. My highest scored game (214) was Hadsch Hallas (Some BGG users think of it as the weakest race for some reason) with Nav0. Also: don't trust anyone telling you Navigation is a must-have track. But it plays very differently, adding a layer of logistics, increased importance of resource management, higher variety of potential goals etc. Is it a completely different game? No, the core principals are more or less the same, which is great. This is only a fraction of what is different. Here races are more customizable, courtesy of a more flexible tech track and variability of tech tile/track pairings. Hobbits/Darklings always wanted to shovel, while Giants' whole gameplan generally revolved around messing with the opponent. Races are even more different, but they are less "leaning" towards a certain playstyle. action: a major improvement over TM's Priests. cubes which serve multiple purposes, such as extending your range, colonizing a Gaia planet or getting a special Q.I.C. 15 potential combinations, which will force you to adapt in order to win. Two "goal" tiles in game randomized from a pool of 6. Interesting advanced tech tiles which can be as influential (or even more influential) than the end game bonus "goal tiles" Less VP and more customization options for the races, which change game-to-game since they are a part of a set up. Creates extra layer of depth to power management, since you don't burn this power, but it is tied for the round and next income phase. New "joker" planet type, which ease out the kinks in building progression.Ĭomplete new mechanic for creating said joker planets, which is tied to power.
Allows for calmer planning, since you can be almost 100% certain a particular space will remain uncontested. No partial terraforming means that if you don't go into this tech, two planet types are completely out of reach for you. Also note that double shovel is at 5 and not at 6, meaning that it remains contested even with multiple players investing into terraforming. Power is more flexible and has more uses. It is still best at 3+, but it is really good at 2. Gaia is a lot better than TM and that is coming from someone who rated TM at 10, with only one other game in the same bracket (Through the Ages).

People are eager to jump to conclusions about it being a "re-theme" for a full price and it simply isn't. Games might look very similar on the surface, but they are actually quite different.
