Cleopatra & the Society of Architects is a cool new game where players take on the role as architects working to build a new palace for Queen Cleo. The game comes with many Gorgeous 3d pieces to build an acutal temple with as the game goes along. Each player wants to build the most units in the temple and earn the most prestige to win the game. But beware! There are ways to take short cuts, buying shoddy equipment, hiring cheap labor, ect... Do to much of this and you can be cursed and sacrificed in the very temple you are building! The guys at Boardgamegeek.com gave this a 7.1 out of 10. Its subject matter and cool playing pieces alone would garner and 8 at the very least from me with out me even playing the game!
