Gaia Project: My Favorite Game Mechanism

Jamey discusses his favorite mechanism in the sequel to Terra Mystica, Gaia Project.

I love how there are 3 tech tiles that allow you to move up ANY track, but are the same power level otherwise as any other random tech tile. Even more additional choice!

Man I love this game. I love Scythe too, in fact without Scythe I never would have discovered my love for euros but I think Gaia Project might just come in a little over Scythe due to the tech track which brings an additional layer to decision making. Both have permanent places in my collection and I expect to pull them out for years (decades even).

Well, I'll say the obvious probably: Catan. It is pretty satisfying when you see you might be able to go for "longest road" linking two areas that maybe you didn't plan on worrying about at the start of the game, but as the game goes on it becomes viable.

Do you sometime soon feel that you want to become a master in one game like GP but in doing so you neglect all the other games in your collection? Is it better to be a jack of all trades? I'm very curious in your opinion on this.

Were on the fence about buying this game. Only a few months into the hobby, with 10 games. How is it for 2 players?

Jamey, is that a framed picture of my home? Wales?? There must be a story behind that if it is...

Is something like this the best way to keep track of a players relationship with multiple factions?
