Cleopatra and thesociety of architects

[busterbone]

Just played this game on Friday night last and I thought it was very good.


The unique part about is is that you can deciide to accumulat a lot of money in corrupt ways however at the end the most corrupt player dies and the winner is the player with the most money from the not-so-corrupt-group.

Dave Morton was the most corrupt player. (Who didn't see that coming.)

I concur - Cleopatra is a top game - especially since I won! Who's the no. 1 Architect in Thebes!

The game actaully borrows the mechanics of a number of other popular games, yet comes up with something fresh and enjoyable to play. It combines elements of:

- Settlers of Catan (collecting resource cards to build stuff)

- Ticket to Ride (the method by which you obtain cards)

- Blockus (the laying of weird shaped tiles)

- Big City (scoring for pieces of the palace as you place them )
