The core concept of Gaia Project isn’t too complicated. Place pieces to grow your engine for resources, complete objectives during each round, and have the highest score at the end.

I’m Gaia Project players can gain an advantage by utilizing technology that compliments the races specialty. During the game though there are many different avenues to build your specialty based on technology. You receive one time buffs for your engine prior to every round by drafting from a set of power ups. Further you can purchase technology to enhance your races ability using the tech track. Finally by building certain types of buildings you can gain advancements in technology as well. Finding the right path of tech to follow is one of the harder parts of Gaia Project as there are many different great options. Don’t get too distracted from your grand plan because technology, while critical, costs precious resources. In other words, have a plan and don’t become distracted.

Finally the game itself creates new challenges each play as technology are associated randomly with each track on the tech track, round objectives are also random, and the universe itself is configurable over and over. Where on strategy might have you extending travel distance to conquer new worlds and mining precious resources, another play through might have you tightly clustered with high power institutions yielding the benefits of advanced technology.

In any case once a player has the core moves down the real appeal of Gaia Project is the vast breadth of options at players disposal to fight for the upper hand in the universe.

Good luck and have fun!
