This is an expansion pack for the city-building game Pharaoh. It is well worth the price. Pharaoh by itself is one of the best strategy games I've played; with the Cleopatra expansion you are able to do and build so much more. It is a rare thing to find an expansion worthy of the original. With Cleopatra you build your Egyptian city as you would in Pharaoh but now you have much more available to you like new monuments, a lamp maker, a henna farm, chariot making and my favorite the building of a zoo. Building a zoo increases your city's culture rating. On the negative side, if you're just interested in making a little city, Sierra added plagues like the Nile turning to blood and swarms of locusts eating your crops. But these make the game more interesting and challenging. Also added are new enemies like Roman Soldiers that will invade your city to make things exciting. Overall an excellent expansion pack for an already great game.
