Synopsis: Gaia is a competitive digital collectible card game in the vein of Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering, with some key differences. The objective of the game is to reduce your opponent's health to zero before your own health drops to zero or you run out of cards. This is accomplished by carefully managing your resources, evolving your creatures to make them stronger, and making intelligent decisions when choosing which enemy creature to attack.
