Gaia Project Strategy from @World Series of Board Gaming Ring Winner Cliff Flachsenhar

Description provided by Board Game to Tears on YouTube:

Gaia Project is one of the more complicated games played at the World Series of Board Gaming. It is coming back in 2023 so competitors will continue to need to practice it in case it is one of the randomly picked games in the finals. We visited with Cliff Flachsenhar from Bozeman, MT about his strategy for winning the Gaia Project ring championship. He went on to win his randomly chosen semi-final game Ticket to Ride. In the final match he went on to win $10,000 for getting 2nd place overall with Dune: Imperium. Cliff manages a board game store Rook's Games and More in Bozeman, MT.
