Gaia Project: How to Set up, Play and Tips

Description provided by Games Made Easy on YouTube:

In this week's Games Made Easy 2nd of 2 parts video you will learn how to play Gaia Project, quickly and easily too. Please support my channel and join my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GamesMadeEasy What I enjoy the most in Gaia Project is how varied the games are, the factions are so unique and so much fun to play. It’s only 6 rounds so you have a limited amount of time to do everything you need to do. It’s so exciting. In Gaia Project you control a faction striving to peacefully settle in the Terra Mystica galaxy by making planets around you habitable. It takes a bit of time to learn but it’s not that difficult to play once you get used to it. There’s no combat but it is highly competitive and there’s real depth of strategy. It is one of the most intense games I’ve played recently.
