Gaïa
Build and grow a civilization as you place terrain tiles to create a new world, bring it to life, and establish cities. Control areas, influence the developing landscape, and meet the needs of its inhabitants while placing figures on the board; the first player to place all five figures wins. Basic rules provide a simple, non-attacking game, while advanced play adds powers such as lightning, volcanoes, rain, sunlight, and earthquakes to reshape the world. These powers can also be used to take opponents’ cities, adding more direct conflict and strategic depth.

Garfield6.0 #AreaControl We played the basic game. So as soon someone had only one Meeple left, we had to fight this person and therefore couldn't advance. But it was not possible. I think the basic game is broken. Maybe it's better with the additional rules.
