Description

Caesar and Cleopatra is a strategic card game for two players, where you take on the roles of these iconic leaders, vying for influence over Roman officials. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be immersed in ancient politics in no time. Each turn, you'll send agents to sway different groups of officials, from Aedils to Censors, using numbered cards and action cards like Assassins and Scouts to outmaneuver your opponent. As the game unfolds, you'll need to manage your hand carefully, deciding when to refill from the agent or action card deck. The game ends when all officials have chosen a side, and the player with the most influence wins, earning bonus points for majorities in each group and hidden objectives. With its unique blend of area majority, hand management, and set collection mechanics, Caesar and Cleopatra offers a thrilling 60-minute experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
