TIKI Editions has just announced GAÏA, a tile placement game with area control and power cards to mix things up.
The game is for 2-5 players, plays in 30-45 minutes, and can handle ages 8+. There’s basic rules for younger players and more advanced rules from those who like a bit more depth.
In GAÏA you’ll be creating a world, building cities, and populating it all. Get all 5 of your meeples on the board to win! TIKI Editions has the full rules online if you’d like to take a look at them before snagging the game. I’ve read through them and it all seems very easy to get going.
David Duperret, one of the founders of TIKI, has said that theywill be at the Essen fair (booth 1-D101) with 260 copies of Gaïa that they’ll be selling for 25 Euros. They’re going to try and get a preorder form up before the show.
