Vastly different games. Played both 4x. Gaia is in the Terra Mystica/Clans of Caledonia family of efficiency optimization, engine building. Pulsar is also an engine builder, but what you do is more tactical based on the dice rolls and what other players do before you. Pulsar is shorter and I think there is a bit more player interaction. But Gaia has blocking too and for me, it’s a meatier, more satisfying experience. Gaia is a top-10 game for me. Pulsar is a top-50 game.
