In this, the third of a series of 2-player games, Caesar
and Cleopatra are locked in a struggle to determine the amount of
independence Egypt will have. The decision lies in the hands of the
powerful patricians. The players, as Caesar and Cleopatra, use their
influence and special actions to win patricians to their side. When a vote
of confidence is called, the player with the larger influence wins the
voice of a patrician. Each voice brings one victory point. There are
additional victory points for the majority in a patrician group, for the
influence of a whole group and for a secret influence bonus. Whoever earns
the most victory points, chooses the fate of Egypt and wins the game.
