Ok so the Hadsch guide is finally here, and packs more than 2 hours of us saying basically that the faction... isn't that great. But bear with us,  there's much more than that, and maybe, MAYBE, you can find some useful advice for your games with our beloved chickens. At times, our connections had problems, so the audio from Matteo fades out, sorry about that. 00.00 INTRODUCTION (a very long one at that) 12.20 OK NOW ABOUT HADSCH HALLAS: THE LAST ROUGH GUIDE! 31.20 HADSCH HALLAS AND THE...

You thought we left you out there, in the dark of the cosmos, without a clue on how to play half of the factions, didn't you? Well, think again, ‘cause we’re here, and this time is a strong faction time: it is time for everybody’s gaiaforming specialists, it’s Terrans time! 00:00:00 - WE’RE BACK!!!! 00:05:34 - Terrans - the super important artwork comments 00:08:14 - Terrans - the board, finally 00:16:47 - THE gaiaforming faction, a one-trick racing horse 00:27:05 - Terrans and the...

ALL RIGHT, THIS EPISODE COMES LATE, BOTH BECAUSE IT HAS COME LATE, AND ALSO BECAUSE WE PROMISED THE FIRAKS GUIDE A LONG TIME AGO BUT NEVER DELIVERED. UNTIL NOW, THAT IS. LOOK AT THIS. AN ALMOST TWO-HOUR EPISODE, SUPER DETAILED, AND WITH MOLFO BACK BEHIND THE MICROPHONES. YOU REALLY COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE. EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR FIRAKS HERE AT PAIA GROJECT AND THIS EPISODES IS OUR TRIBUTE TO THE OCTOPUSS... THE OCTOPI... THE OCT... THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BESCODS BOARD. ENJOY! ...

Molfo is still gone, and this time you'll have to endure Matteo babbling one hour and a half about how to appraise a game setup (or at least, how he does it), how to pick a faction, and then a thorough review of his decisions. And yes, it's a Bal T'Aks game. Life's weird, huh? Here's the game: https://www.boardgamers.space/game/IWantThisToBeHARD While you wait for the next episode, come play with us (Molfo and El Temblo) on BGS: https://www.boardgamers.space.

Ok, this had to happen: Christmas is just behind us, and since we are still in magic Christmas Land, even Bal T'Aks can find a place here at Paia Groject.

Yes, we promised a Firak guide and instead you get Bescods. But look on the bright side, it's a great Bescods guide.

In case you are still craving for some discussion about statistics in Gaia Project, even after all the wonderful threads that Arun (AKA Roadrunner19) has opened on BGG, we decided to directly invite him to Paia Groject, and have a little chat with him about the work he's been doing and what all of this means. So sit down, relax, and enjoy the chat with this episode's guest star! 00.00 - INTRODUCING OUR AMAZING GUEST 03.10 - ERRATA ABOUT THE GEODEN'S EPISODE 08.10 - THEN WE GO OFF TOPIC AND...

Did you know that the Gaia Project International Tournament just took place? Since the chance was too good not to catch, we invited the organizer, Marco/ZeroCool, to talk with us about how the tournament went, and where his next big tournaments are going; our chat resulted in a very relaxed and special episode, which we hope you’ll enjoy as well. Oh, and we also had to opportunity to ask something to the winner of the tournament… (Sorry for the lack of errata, they will return in the next...

We're back with a second faction guide! Dive with us into the depths of the Lantids' ocean, but be careful: that ocean could easily turn into an abyss, a very deep and desperate, cold, unloving abyss from which there is no escape. So make sure to follow our tips to get the best out of your dolphin games!

The fourth episode of Paia Groject features the first of our amazing faction guides! For this debut, we picked everyone's favourite faction: the Gleens! [warning: sarcasm detected]. In this episode we will discuss what we think are the two main strategies that players can adopt when using this faction, that is, Gaiforming Gleens and Non-Gaiaforming Gleens (with a focus on the latter). We hope you enjoy the episode, please give us you feedback here, on the dedicated thread on...

And now, for something completely different. For our third episode, we followed your suggestions and analyzed the map of Gaia Project in its various aspects, sector by sector, color by color, faction by faction. We even added a guide for the "Last Player Rotates Sectors" option, because we're willing to walk that extra mile.
