Cleocatra (2020)

About this game

SUMMARY Egyptians love cats, especially Cleopatra. When she ruled Egypt, she commissioned cat rescuers to protect cats, and royal cat inspectors to report and reward rescuers. In her time, cats were napping happily and safely in the sun throughout Egypt. GOAL In this game, the players are Egyptian cat rescuers, and their goal is to save cats in pyramids. A player receives 1 point for every unique cat rescued, plus 1 point per helper on the scoring tiles. When a player has scored 23 or more points, the game continues until the end of the current round. The player with the most points wins the game. COMPONENTS Rescuer meeple x 12 (Three for each player) Score token x 4 (One for each player) Cat pyramid tile x 13 (Three of each color, plus Cleocatra) Royal Inspector token x 3 (brown) Score track x 1 Rules —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
