Gaia Project

Expert Gaia Project races the scoring track while building federations. Each federation tile is 2 VP plus a power boost. Terraform to your native planet type for free actions; convert others at a premium.

Quick winning principles

  • Form federations of three adjacent buildings for 2 VP plus power boost.
  • Terraform to your home planet type whenever possible for free actions.
  • Take the scoring track bonus at 24 and 28—opponents race the same thresholds.
  • Build mines on grey planets for income, not VP—VP comes from federations.

Ideal strategy

  1. 1

    Federation engine: three buildings in a cluster plus federation tile is 6 VP and 3 power.

  2. 2

    Planet types: Xenos ignore transformation costs—expand on foreign types aggressively.

  3. 3

    Scoring track timing: move to 24 before opponents to claim the 6 VP bonus tile.

  4. 4

    Power cycle: spend 4 power for QIC, use QIC for terraforming, terraform for new buildings.

  5. 5

    Brainstone: hold power between rounds only when a scoring track bonus is one action away.

  6. 6

    Endgame: four federations plus scoring track 30 beats six buildings without federation tiles.
