Age of Innovation is a standalone game set in the world of Terra Mystica. Twelve factions, each with unique characteristics, populate this world of varying terrains. Here you will compete to erect buildings and merge them into cities. Each game allows you to create new combinations of factions, homelands, and abilities so that each game isn't the same as another.

You control one of these factions and will terraform the game map's terrain into your homelands where you can erect your buildings. Proximity to other factions may limit your expansion, but it also gains you significant advantages in the game. This tension adds to the appeal of the Terra Mystica series. Upgrade your buildings to gain valuable resources such as tools, scholars, money, and power. Build schools to advance in different sciences and collect books, which you can use to make innovations. Build your palace to gain a powerful new ability or build workshops, guilds, and universities to complete your culture.

In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You'll travel from village to village, to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g. ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types. Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.

Uwe Rosenberg's resource wheels, made famous in Glass Road (2013), return in Black Forest. Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production. Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests - in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the use of worker placement in Black Forest instead of simultaneous action selection.

A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.

The Lost Fleet expansion gives you more options and variants for your Gaia Project game. Huge, deserted spaceships have been discovered in the galaxy, providing evidence of highly-evolved civilizations that have been forgotten through the mists of time. Your job is to explore and discover the secrets of these forgotten spacecraft! You can now also choose one of 4 new factions. The new factions start on asteroids or protoplanets- two new types of planets - which can now also be colonized. These new planets can be found all across the galaxy!

The new layout of the map features wormholes where the ships of the Lost Fleet (and some new planet types) will be placed. Ships of the Lost Fleet grant access to new action spaces and technologies to be found on the new board, as well as special Federation Tokens and Artifacts!
