When we got Sweet Lands I recall using several videos to make sure I could play and teach it to our group, and the comparisons to both Terraforming Mars and Terra Mystica were prevalent. Already having owned and played Mars quite a bit, I saw the economy structure comparison immediately. Works great in both games. All is well.
Now I’m led to believe the map part of Sweet Lands, the development of tiles to then build on is similar to Terra Mystica, a game I haven’t had the pleasure of playing. But my great enjoyment of Sweet Lands made me wonder if I’m missing something.
Curious what people thought - how similar are they? Does Sweet Lands already redo the best parts of Terra Mystica and so owning the newer sweeter package is enough? Or perhaps there’s plenty more to explore that makes Terra Mystica worth a play? It comes off as the older blander model, but of course, looks are deceiving.
