Creation and Vision

Tiger Tarell (left) and Sam Tarell (right).
Tiger Tarell is the Founder and Creative Director of the The Balance of Gaia. In 2019 he had a vision that united his passion for protecting Earth with his love of trading card games and The Balance of Gaia was born. His brother Sam immediately fell in love with his vision and soon became his business partner. Together, they spent years crafting a game that promises to awaken a deeper respect for the balance of nature.
Though we’ve come a long way since 2019, we’re just getting started! Tiger and Sam have meticulously planned 11 ‘books’ of Gaia, each uniquely showcasing the wonders of our world while maintaining the game’s balance set forth in the books preceding them. Our intention is to bring people together to celebrate nature, art, community, and fun through gaming! All while doing our part to heal this magical planet we call home.
Today, we’re proud to present to you the ‘Prologue’ (including the Starter Decks and the Original Collection) the prequel to Gaia’s 11 books. We understand that a vision as grand as ours requires a deep collective love from our community for the values we stand for. So, let’s grow that community together. Join our waitlist for our Kickstarter campaign that will lead to Book 1 of 11. The time has come to establish our roots.
