Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Gaia Project (sci-fi skin and more evolved)
  • My favourites are Imperium Horizons, Star Trek Captain's Chair, Spirit Island, Voidfall, Gaia Project, Final Girl and Vantage.
  • Any game that has double layered cardboard player boards so that the pieces stay in place when you put them on it, e.g. Gaia Project, Scythe.
  • Gaia on Bga is great
  • I think Gaia Project is actually a perfect design, with the only slight issues being some faction balance that only really comes into play at top level play

Cons

  • I don't think I'll ever get her to play Terraforming Mars or Gaia Project
  • Some of the games I heard of are: 1. Gaia project ... Would you all say this would be considered what this feeling / mechanic / style of games like Rummikub is like for these games? I haven’t played these games but curious to know if the...
  • Games like Scythe and Gaia Project? I just forget what I'm doing every time I try to go back to them, possibly because the metaphor is hard to match with the actions you can take, or maybe I'm just not as serious a gamer as I used to be.
  • Gaia project has tech tracks but the tracks in age of in ovation are basically just normal euro tracks they don't really have what id call tech on them
  • I guess Spirit Island, Gloomhaven, Dune IMperium, Terraforming Mars, Brass Birmingham, Pandemic (and Pandemic Legacy), Gaia Project are all *fundamentally* single-player games and function no differently with other humans are involved.

At 2, it's Gaia Project, no question

It’s mostly because the map scales with the player count on Gaia Project, while in Terra Mystica, it’s always one big map no matter the player count. A lot of the cool interaction in both games are dependent on how close you are to other players, so Gaia Project has smoother experience in smaller player count.

the lost fleet for Gaia Project was released relatively recently and easily propels it to the top of heavy euros.
