Heavy Euro Boardgame[Gaia Project] Play By Post (4/4)

Some of my favourite euro's don't have good online implementations and with the current situation stopping gatherings I haven't been able to play them recently. I have no idea how well this will work but I'm willing to commit to trying to make it work for at least 1 game.

List of possible games:
Gaia Project
Brass:Birmingham
Barrage

Also taking other suggestions, though keep in mind any game with unique cards is likely out because I don't want to have to find that many assets.

Interested Players(4/4):
chamber
Panthaleon
Mykonian
Tatsuya Kaname

Rules: https://images.zmangames.com/filer_publ ... ook_lo.pdf

How to play (he explains the research track scoring incorrectly, its not 4 points for each that has reached at least the third level, it's 4 points per level starting at the third, ie: level 3 in a given track is worth 4 points, 4 is worth 8, and 5 is worth 12.):

I've played Gaia Project, and it has been one of my Top 10s.

My brain burns every time I play though and I don't know if I can handle prolonged forum play.

It has the core mechanics of Terra Mystica but much much more variety.

I've decided that we'll just play the intro game setup for this game because we have at least one new player, that means you guys are choosing between these 4 factions:

I've edited the OP with the initial map and starting locations. If you are having trouble seeing the yellow-on-yellow let me know. I think the others are clear but the low contrast with the white doesn't help there. Setting up some of these assets has taken more time than I've expected, should be finished sometime this evening est.

Proposing the use of variable turn order rules:

Normally the round starts with whoever has the first player token, and play moves clockwise and whoever passes first in a round claims the token to become first to act next round, the order of the players stays the same.

The variable turn order rule changes it so that the turn order of each round changes according to when EACH player passed in the previous round. One who passes first goes first, second goes second and so on. This allows for the turns to be more fair.

Also I think everyone has their boards so let's shuffle all the tiles and randomize turn order so that we can choose our starting boosters.

Just finished randomizing everything. Took a long time to get all the assets in order.
Randomizing player order now Highest first.

Me:
Original Roll String: 1d100
1 100-Sided Dice: (11) = 11

Tatsuya:
Original Roll String: 1d100
1 100-Sided Dice: (31) = 31

Nexus:
Original Roll String: 1d100
1 100-Sided Dice: (37) = 37

Pants:
Original Roll String: 1d100
1 100-Sided Dice: (49) = 49

Camber would it be possible to get a standard link to the rules? I appreciate the how-to-play video, but I'm kinda visually oriented for games.

Updating the images in the op based on your booster pick, but with that it's also on you to take the first action in the game.
