Description
We've fully embraced our digital bodies as our souls slowly bleed into 0s and 1s. The only bit of humanity that's left is a binary expression for competitive rage. Today we review Gaia Project, a super deluxe sequel to Terra Mystica. This game probably has every right to exist on its own, like a clone that splits off from its gene donor to live a full life.

We discuss the many pros and cons of the online platform's hundreds of ported games. Tony & BGA veteran Jordan give their top five favorites.Leave us a review on Apple podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/y2eyvquxRead Tony's blog: https://boardgamegeek.com/user/maxlongstreet/blogsListen to more episodes on Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/two-wood-for-a-wheatVisit our website: http://twowood4awheat.com/02:14 FEATURE REVIEW Gaia Project02:27 Terra Mystica29:05 FEATURE TOPIC Board Game Arena32:29 Marco Polo33:51 Race for the Galaxy, Hive, Carcassonne, Kingdomino, Terra mystica34:52 Carcassonne, Lost Cities, Sushi Go35:37 6 Nimmt!, Hive36:08 Nippon36:57 Race for the Galaxy38:09 Terra Mystica39:17 Race for the Galaxy expansions40:35 Hawaii43:19 Russian Railroads44:36 Tzolkin45:53 Teotihuacan46:25 Seasons47:40 The Palaces of Carrara, Heaven & Ale51:14 Signorie53:25 Terra Mystica56:08 Nippon58:16 Clans of Caledonia01:03:03 Race for the Galaxy01:04:49 Roll for the Galaxy01:05:12 Caylus01:05:28T he King's Guild, The Lords of Waterdeep01:06:237 Wonders, Lost Cities, Jaipur, Tokaido, Legendary Inventors, Kingdomino, Sushi Go, Can't Stop01:06:57 For Sale, Carcassonne01:08:48 Dice Forge01:10:07 La Granja01:14:35 Puerto Rico
