"Music from Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsou...)"
The man who got me on Gaia Project solo years ago has returned!!! Thank you for great videos.
Whoot!!!! So glad you enjoy the game!!
Me too!!
No gaps, just a fast and perfect runthrough. I dont know why i keep trying to use spanish channels to learn to play... if i always end up in the One Stop Coop Shop!!!.
Thx so much for your videos!!!.
Great video. One correction, you inverted the use of the automa cards. First turn, the first card is the support and the second is the action card. Following turns, you discard the support card, the previous action card becomes the current support card, and you draw a new action card, so you actually don't know what the automa will do :)
Oh dang how did I miss that! I'll make a subtitle thanks!!
Great, Colin, thanks again for a very approachable review. I have had Gaia Project set up for solo play on my basement table for several days (Wow, it takes up a lot of room!) rewatching this and your solo setup videos...now I am ready to play it!
Welcome to the Gaiamystica solo playthrough. And yes Colin still uses gold for this medieval fantasy race! haha kidding! I've watched your last playthrough countless times! Very glad you made another one!
Haha!! Good is apparently my standard!
@@OneStopCoopShop I would love to play this game so much but still can't afford to buy it (that is why I'm left to just watching your playthroughs, which are excellent by the way!). But I will be able to afford to buy a copy soon! Oh yeah!
I love this game, but I am absolutely terrible at it! Thanks for the play through, Colin. I really need to get this one to the table again soon.
Get it out!! Thanks so much for watching!!
One of my favourite heavy euro game. I remember, when I got into solitaire board games, your previous playthrough convinced me to buy this game. Thank you for that Colin! :)
That's awesome!! It's a great game so thanks for watching!!
Such a great playthrough! Thanks as always Colin for doing a fantastic job! 🙂
Thank you so much Josh!!
Brilliant play! Was a real hoot to watch, as always. Thank you Col.
Appreciate it Steve!! Thanks for watching!
Wow, how convenient that you did one just now! Still have to get mine out for the first time, so this is welcome!
Get it out and have a blast! Thanks for watching!
@@OneStopCoopShop got it to table just now. What a great game. Lost by a margin, but when rewatching some of this video I found out that I made some income errors. Also: the AI kept building mines.
Colin! Your past GP videos inspired me to buy this game after much hesitation. Best decision ever. GP is probably the GOAT for me. Such an elegant game, despite it being soooo deep.
That's so awesome!!! Glad you enjoy it so much in right there with you!
This was really good playthrough. I just tried Gaia project at the weekend, so this game is new to me, however based on this video it doesn't look that hard and maybe it will give the satisfaction I need by the end of the game. You did well on maxing out those techs. (I don't like those games where I feel that I just got halfway through and the end of the game comes earlier than desired.)
Amazing playthrough, thanks a lot. I will definitely try this faction to see if I can finally get more than 100 points which I never did yet 😁
Good luck my friend!! It's a great game!
I've played several solo sessions of Gaia Project, and all of them were awesome. I've also been playing around with using the AI with 2 players and working out how to make it a co-op game. It's not much of a stretch since there's an advantage to the human players co-locating, so there's built-in cooperation with the base rules. So far been just approaching it where the 2 humans have to each beat the AI's score in order to "win". Would love to come up with some extra mechanics to make it more co-op'y. In any case, love this game!
Oh my goodness I would love to try that!!! Do you change any rules? I could see this being awesome trying to work together!
@@OneStopCoopShop No rules changes yet - just go for good locations to be near each other and hopefully farther from the AI. Use a map setup for 3 players, and have been using random maps. Would like to come up with some rules/mechanics that involve more player interaction. But at the very least, this makes it more "us vs. the AI" which my wife and I prefer vs. direct competitive.
Same with my wife so I gotta try this!!
Thanks for the videos. Having played TM a few times I really want to get this game (it´s really expensive shipping to Colombia). I think I noticed an error. 19:12 - 19:22: Econ track level 1 states 1 power charge but you charge 2.
So glad you're doing Gaia Project!
Can't agree more thanks for watching!!
Fantastic playthrough!
Thanks for watching!!
There are actually nine planet types; the lost planet is its own planet type!
Edit: I see you mention this eventually
I always forget to say that!!
11:10 You do not choose a building. You choose to gain or not gain the power for the most powerful building in the area. Or am I wrong?
Wow, just couple of days ago I've watched your first playthrough of Gaia for the first time and I was wondering wether you will do another one of it.
It had been too long!! I am also in the midst of recording the terra mystica solo as well for next week! Thanks for watching!!
Another awesome play of one of my favorite euro games. I always I’ve seeing some heavier thematic stuff come up on your plays. Did you ever wind up tracking down a copy of Anachrony Fractures of Time?
Glad you enjoyed it!! I have not yet so planning on it though!
I’ve been trying to find a good mat and I can’t seem to find something interesting. Where did you guys get yours?
Hi Colin, just a minor rules correction but can make some difference during certain gameplays depending on the final scoring tiles. At 10:00 Transdim planets costs 2 terraform whereas Gaia only cost 1. You can see that on the reference card. In your gameplay those final score tiles didn't ask for Gaia planets, so you were supposed to build on Gaia, black and blue planets first, not transdim. Now if one of those end game score tiles required Gaia planets, then both Gaia and transdim would have preference as tiebreakers over other types of planets, as long as those end game tiebreaker symbols were not X on the card. Hope that made sense to you! 😀
Thanks my man! Not sure if understand though. Are you saying for the AI it would look at Gaia planets not Transdim for the final scoring tile that I was using because it was 2 to terraform?
@@OneStopCoopShop hi Colin let me try to explain it better.
1. In your game both final scoring tiles were not to build on Gaia planets. So that's 1 thing
2. Now you are to build a mine, like in 10:00. 2 range, check. Then 1 tiebreaker is faction (that doesn't apply). Then 2 tiebreaker is final scoring tiles, planet variety, check. 3rd tiebreaker is costs. Black, blue and Gaia costs 1 Terraforming, brown, red and transdim costs 2. In the playthrough you said the AI would look for transdim as well, but that is not true, cause it's more expensive. So you had to eliminate it on that step. Then you continue with tiebreakers...closest to human players and finally directional selection.
Now, let's suppose you're playing a new game where one of the final scoring tiles is to build on Gaia planets. If you play an AI card that tells you to look at final scoring titles, and the one you have to look at is the Gaia planets, then you would only search for Gaia or transdims (in this case they are the same) that are in range 2. You can skip cost tiebreakers and go for the one that is closest to you, and directional selection in the last case.
If you play it in the near future, double check the automa rulebook in the "build a mine" section, but not in the ref sheet, cause that one doesn't state all the rules.
Sorry for being nitpicky, its just that I got GP recently and I'm so enamored with it! Very addicting
TOTALLY tracking you now thanks for this!!
Try as a I might - I can't figure out why you gained 5vp from the Planetary institute upgrade. I figured it would be straightforward in the rule book - i.e. upgrading to a planetary institute yields 5VP. But I can't find any language in there. Can you clarify what effect caused that jump in VP? This was a long time ago, so if you can't clarify that's certainly understandable! Thanks for your videos throughout the years....I still remember you teaching me how to play Spirit Island at the onset of the pandemic! That was my first hobby level boardgame and I haven't looked back since. EDIT - **Ok, I see you got the 5 VP from the round booster - man this game is giving me fits to learn! lol **
Yeah this game is heavy!!
Hi Colin, great playthrough! Awesome game to play to play solo. Could you do one with Ambas? And did you ever used the Gaia project map generator and setup helper?
Sounds good to me and no I haven't used that!
Hey Colin! What makes this better for you than TM with the new solo mode? Just curious as I decide what to purchase. I've only played Terra Mystica, but I'm intrigued by the Tech Track In GP!
You've got it, the tech track, and the QIC just adds more enjoyment to the game compared to Terra Mystica. Also I feel like you have a little more flexibility on resources in Gaia Project over Terra Mystica. I also love the variable end-game scoring!
At 42:37, you annotate "First Tiebreaker is closest to my planets! Should have been the other one!" Aren't both mines 2 spaces away from your planets?
I agree not sure what I thought I saw there!!
I have 2 requests. 1) If you do another Gaia Project, play the Ivits (my favorite). 2) If you play Terra Mystica, play the Yetis.
Got it! I will have a recording of Terra Mystica next week but it will be with the witches as I am still new to the game!
looks like a game I would enjoy but getting a game to the table has been a struggle for the last 2 years, I would play it solo but would want it to be a APP for that so no setup and cleanup time
I hear you man. I think they have this on the computer? At least they do for terra mystica!
Most perfect game
I agree it is one of the best!!
I've gone back and forth on getting this game, but heavy euros have always intimidated me, and this one seems no exception. Any suggestions for lighter euros to step slowly into euros and see what I think?
This one is certainly heavy, do you have a theme you like? That can help decide a good starting euro!
@@OneStopCoopShop I'm kind of weird when it comes to theme. If I'm unsure of a game (or it's not something I normally go for), I tend to be pickier on the theme. Space is a theme I like, I play a lot of Arkham Horror (but I don't know if there are any horror-based euros), and I'm also a huge Final Fantasy nerd, but I doubt you'd find any fantasy-based euros. Still, open to suggestions.
Dwellings of Eldervale is a great one that is fantasy! Has a great solo too. Castles of Burgandy is another euro that I think is a solid place to start. If you enjoy space, Pulsar 2486 is another one that is good! Hope that helps!
@@PhoenixKnight08 If you're a Final Fantasy nerd, you should take a look at Middara, altough its not an euro but a dungeon crawler. Gloomhaven is in the fantasy genre and i would classify it as an "euro dungeon crawler" but you could argue over that. In the space genre, i would suggest "Circadians - First light" as an euro with quite a bit of flavor.
Best eurogame ever, with Terra Mystica permission.
Totally agree!!
Great video, THX !
I've only a doubt. You arrived at the top level of three tech track, but the third federation is the last thing you made. So it seems to me, you missed a third federation token to flip in order to reach the last level. Am I missed anything or not?
I've realised only now that you took a third fed token at the top of terraforming tech track...my oversight, then😊
Ok good haha I couldn't remember!
Im too stupid for this game… always loose against automa on lowest difficulty with about half the points it has. ;( it’s so hard getting into this game… I can never do anything!
It does certainly take some getting used to! Don't give up it will click soon!!
I really like watching playthroughs of Gaea Project but it sits on my shelf of shame - after I set the game up I just stare at it and have no idea how to play and what I'm doing. Its like a mental block!
Ah man I hear you! Sometimes games just aren't for everyone which is totally fine! You could follow a positron for a bit matching action for action to get you going?
Matching action for action sounds like a great way to learn. Thanks Colin.
