Wrong description of L5 Gaia Project Research Column

[ferion]

Hi,
just reached L5 Gaia Project for the first time in a GP game I played and realised that the description of this level is not just misleading, but IMHO plainly wrong.

It reads: "To start a Gaia project you must move 3 Power tokens to your Gaia area. Immediately gain 4 VP plus 1 VP for each Gaia planet you settled....."

I interpreted it as "reaching L5 on Gaia Project would give me 4 VP + 1 VP for each Gaia planet EACTH TIME I start a new Gaia project".

However, what it obviously gives me is a one-time bonus of 4 VP + 1 VP for each Gaia planet. So I do not even have to move 3 power, i.e. initiate a Gaia project.

If you agree to my reasoning, I would suggest the description to be modified.

Fantastic implementation though. I love it
Keep up the great work

The top of every track is always a 1 time immediate bonus.

Going up the track lowers the cost of initiating a Gaia Project, but never actually causes it to happen.
Starting a Gaia Project is a subsequent action on a subsequent separate turn.


The text in the game matches the text in the official Rules Books PG 22

To start a Gaia project, you must move three power
tokens to your Gaia area. Immediately gain 4 VP and
1 additional VP for each Gaia Planet with one of your
structures on it (you do not gain VP for Gaiaformers on
Gaia Planets).
