	Description Edit \| History

In Caesar and Cleopatra, two players attempt to use influence and philosophy to sway the Roman officials in the Senate to join their causes. Sometimes secretly and sometimes openly, the players outbid one another in influence points on various senators, but thanks to action cards and other deviousness even the best lobbying can result in failure.

Caesar and Cleopatra is part of the Kosmos two-player series.

Compiled English Rules

I took the old English translation, the Rio Grande rules, and the original German rules and created a complete set of rules using the strengths of each English rules set and preserving the integrity of the original German. I welcome any comments or criticism.
