Terra Mystica edges ahead for me. It's more cutthroat. In Gaia Project there are always enough basic tech (favors) for everyone; it's harder to cut anyone off, you just make it a little more expensive for them to expand; the research track (cult) scoring isn't zero-sum, everyone's score is based on how far they've advanced, not their position compared to the others'; and other things.This is not to say that I don't think Gaia Project is a great game. It is. I just like Terra Mystica a smidge more.
