Theirs is one of history’s most famous stories: A bittersweet struggle between love
and power. Caesar wants to expand Rome’s influence over Egypt. Cleopatra fights
for her country’s independence. Who will win the loyalty of Rome’s powerful
patricians and determine the fate of Egypt?
As Caesar and Cleopatra, you take turns playing cards to increase your influence over the five groups of patricians. After each
turn, there may be a vote of confidence in which a patrician will side with the leader who has the most influence over them.
There are points for every patrician card that you win for your side, as well as for majorities and for completing secret missions.
Whoever has the most points at the end wins the game.
