Quest for Gaia is a 1-5 player 4X sci-fi game in which you build an alien civilization and compete with others for galactic dominance. You have the option of playing as one of the pre-made races offered in the game (e.g. humans, insectoid or 'ethereal'), or creating your own by following the guidelines in the rulebook. Each player can perform a specific number of actions per turn in order to gain resources or attack other players. Whoever reaches 22 points in the end, wins. I
