Shelfside reviews THE big ticket Euro tabletop board game (and also Gloomhaven creator Isaac Childres' favorite)! Gaia project is like what happens if you take Twilight Imperium 4 and turn the area control into a euro instead; colonize the galaxy peacefully instead of battling with all the numerous factions. Players are still racing to get victory points, there's technology that you can research, as well as tons of miniature buildings and space pieces to plop everywhere on a hexagonal grid map. That's where the similarities end, because gameplay-wise the mechanics and how you use your tokens are totally different. There's six rounds before the game ends, certain actions are tied to a power token system that cycles through three phases, and there's absolutely no random dice rolling that can mess your strategies up through rng. Actually, the strategies are insanely diverse in Gaia Project with tons of upgrade paths and ways to score vp. Of course, with this much complexity, there's going to be a ton of rules, and it's pretty easy to mess up a rulebook...
