About the 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

Questions and answers
Cleocatra supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Cleocatra is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cleocatra for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Cleocatra has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
