The buildings are essentially the same (they’ve just been renamed) and the upgrade paths between them are the same as well. The faction boards are laid out in a very similar way. When you start playing Gaia Project, it does feel very similar to Terra Mystica. It doesn’t bother me personally the plastic isn’t cheap plastic, but it’s still plastic and I know some people are always going to prefer wood. There’s just something about wood that says quality though. I guess it fits the sci-fi theme more, and the building models are good. The first thing that strikes you about Gaia Project is that all the wooden components of Terra Mystica seem to have turned to plastic. Is it good enough to purchase if you already own Terra Mystica though? Let’s have a look… So today I’d like to talk about the differences between Terra Mystica and Gaia Project and why I think Gaia Project is a better game.
It looks like you can improve on perfection after all. I don’t know how they managed it, but it’s better. Terra Mystica is a group favourite, so everyone wants to try it. Well, following its release at Essen, Gaia Project has been played by our gaming group at almost every opportunity. Would it just be a straight retheme or would there be significant differences? Could they really improve on what I perceived to be a near-perfect Euro? Would there be an inevitable disappointment that either it didn’t really add anything significant or was actually worse because they made changes that I wasn’t keen on? When I heard that they were retheming Terra Mystica in space ( Gaia Project), I was very interested, but also apprehensive. I’ve played it and played it over the years. Terra Mystica is one of my top ten games of all time.
