Project GAIA 2023

GAIA, the super AI designed to protect the Earth, has identified the biggest threat of them all - HUMANKIND.

In this semi-cooperative game, each player controls 2-6 characters with which they journey across the Earth and space. Your mission is to shut down GAIA by discovering a special reboot code. This is done by navigating the Earth while GAIA pours her wrath over it, and by finding the Code Tiles hidden there. For each active Code Tile discovered the players earn Victory Points. The players have to cooperate to successfully perform Space RUNS to the different destinations: the Moon, Mars, and the GAIA Space Station. Code tiles are hidden on these as well.

Each turn a player chooses a character to move on the Earth or one of the destinations, trying to reach the Code Tiles and play Action cards that also give them Victory Points. While moving they have to steer clear of the spaces destroyed by GAIA's attacks. Reaching a functioning space vessel and gathering a suitable crew is also essential.

There is no time to lose, as GAIA is wreaking havoc on the Earth with natural disasters and deadly drones. If the reboot code is not discovered in time mankind is destroyed and GAIA wins. If the reboot code is discovered, the single player with the most Victory Points earned wins the game!
