How To Play Terra Mystica Giants?

In this eleventh installment of the Terra Mystica series, the Giants are discussed, focusing on their role in the game. They are a preferred faction when playing against Alchemists, Darklings, Mermaids, Swarmlings, Auren, Witches, Dwarves, and Engineers. Terra Mystica is a complex game with many paths to victory, so it is reasonable to give oneself exactly 5 minutes to learn some strategy to play the Giants well.

The Giants need to be played aggressively, taking other players’ favoured terrains away from them and blocking their ability to expand favorably. They are best if the round scoring is trading posts and strongholds, as they do both of these cheaply, particularly round 1 strongholds.

In each of the six rounds, each of the six rounds goes through three phases: Income Phase, Action Phase, and Cult bonuses and Clean-up Phase. Collecting new Workers, Coins, Priests, and other items is essential for success. A video series of short strategy guides for each base faction is being created for those who have played a little and are curious about what went wrong or how to improve.

How to win in Terra Mystica?

Terra Mystica is a strategy game where players must play with a varied turn order, be strategic when choosing a faction, burn some power, get your stronghold early, plan to build at least two towns, build close to people, take advantage of round scoring tiles and cult track bonuses, and be flexible. This guide assumes you know the rules and is not meant to teach you the game. The author, who loves Terra Mystica, shares some tips and tricks over the years, but it is not a guide to playing any specific faction, as there are numerous helpful, faction-specific guides available online.

How long does a game of Terra Mystica take?

Terra Mystica is a Euro-style board game designed by Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller, aimed at two to five players. Published by Feuerland Spiele in Germany in 2012, it was later translated into English and French by Zman Games and Filosofia Édition in 2013. The game involves players choosing from fourteen fantasy factions with unique abilities and costs. Each faction is limited to building on one of seven terrain types on the game board, making terraforming spaces crucial.

The game is divided into six rounds, where players take actions to improve their society, such as settling new spaces, upgrading buildings, improving infrastructure, or increasing the faction’s status in an elemental cult. If a player cannot perform any more actions or chooses not to, they must pass, and a round ends when all players pass.

What is the difference between Gaia and Terra?

The Terra is a taller, slimmer, and heavier model of SodaStream’s Gaia, which is designed to eliminate the twist function. The Terra is also clutter-free, so it is placed in cupboards after every use. The Terra doesn’t use more or less gas than the Gaia, and they are considered identical. One tank can produce 60L of water, which should last a couple of months. The Terra’s lifespan is about four months, despite drinking at least a liter per day. The Terra’s sleek design may be due to personal preference, but both tanks last a reasonable amount of time.

Is Terra Mystica language dependent?

Terra Mystica is a strategy game where players govern one of 14 factions to transform the landscape on the board in their favor. The game’s appeal lies in the conflict between players and the environment. Players can upgrade structures to gain resources like workers, priests, money, and power. They can build temples to gain influence in the four cults of fire, earth, water, and air, build strongholds to activate their group’s special ability, expand and build new dwellings to have more workers, or build trading houses to ensure a constant flow of money. Purchases from these retailers support Shut Up and Sit Down.

How does Terra Mystica auction work?

What is the ability of fakirs in Terra Mystica?

The Fakirs Faction has a unique ability called “Transform and Build”, which allows players to skip one Terrain or River space by paying one more Priest for Carpet Flight. This action earns 4 Victory points each time, and any structures reached via Carpet Flight are considered connected. After building a Stronghold, players can skip 2 Terrain or 2 River spaces or one each when doing a Carpet Flight, which affects the final Area scoring. Despite being underpowered, the Carpet Flight is a decent strategy for Fakirs.

What is the best bonus tile in Terra Mystica?

The “Transform + 2 Coin” tile is the most valuable at the start of the game, as it allows for the most efficient transformation of workers and coins. The “+3 Power, +1 Worker” tile is also the best, as it allows for the burning of power and the acquisition of a 4-Power “Transform” Action square. The “2-worker” tile is the third best, as it allows for the use of workers in Round one.

Point tiles become more important later in the game, as the economy is already strong enough to support building and upgrading. Favor tiles are a nice addition, but only Chaos Magicians can invest in them. For other races, they are a small part of their strategy.

  • There is no other way to put this. These 50 minutes and the way you presented the information was absolutely awesome. Thanks a lot for your time to make this article. I am already thrilled to watch the other 2, although I suspect the level there would be a little bit more advance i.e. the concepts would be much deeper and complex. Thank you, Zoras for opening your website to content from others in the TM community.
