You take over one of 14 races and colonize the planets of a galaxy by erecting buildings on them. You can upgrade these buildings in different directions during the course of the game, which gives you access to more resources and actions.
Six research areas are available to advance your expansion in the galaxy faster and more efficiently than that of the other players.
Different races with different abilities, each plays differently and offers new strategic challenges. Changing game and victory point conditions always require different tactical decisions and due to the variable playing field you have to plan your expansion again and again.
Each game offers you a new combination - this makes Gaia Project extremely versatile and permanently exciting.
