Impressions Games, creators of the award-winning Caesar III, take you farther back in time with this stunning strategic city-building game set in the mysterious and beautiful land of the Nile. Welcome to ancient Egypt.

  5 Stars Great game!
  I had this game when I was younger and was quite excited to be able to play it once again. Age is no factor when it comes to enjoying this game and it certainly is no hinderance to understand how to operate the different industries and services you can set up in the game, either. This would be a great game for kids and it really doesn't look all that aged graphically. They'll never know it's a game from the 90's.

  4 Stars Great all ages game!
  We had purchased this game several years ago,but the disc became too scratched to use. We ended up rebuying it because it truly is a family favorite.

  In the original Pharaoh game, one uses logic to plan, build, and manage increasingly more complex Egyptian cities. The cities must include a means to feed and shelter the inhabitants, industry, entertainment, goverment services, educational services, and religious facilities. You keep a delicate balance between spending too much money (going into debt) and not enough money (not providing the services/facilities/jobs necessary to keep your inhabitants happy). While it seems relatively simple, it's not always an easy balance to strike.

  As you progress further into the game, you must not only keep your inhabitants happy, but you must also develope foreign relations, trade routes, and prepare for war.

  Cleopatra is the expansion pack for the Pharaoh series.

  Overall, our family enjoys this game, and it is one of the few that they have come back to over and over for years. As a parent, I appreciate that this game requires a great deal of thought and patience to beat. The graphics, while not as quality as games produced today, are not so dated as to make the game unappealing. The graphics are the main reason we gave the game a 4 - otherwise, we like it enough to give it a 5.
