Cleopatra and the Society of Architects is a board game designed by Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc, published in 2006 by Days of Wonder and illustrated by Julien Delval and Cyrille Daujean. Three to five players take the roles of rival architects competing to build the most valuable sections of Cleopatra's palace while amassing personal wealth. Turns combine bidding for building materials with placement decisions that expand the shared palace structure, so players must balance helping construct an impressive monument against securing rewards for themselves. A typical game runs about sixty minutes and is recommended for players aged ten and up. The game belongs to the wider family of economic and history themed strategy titles that Days of Wonder published in the mid 2000s, pairing accessible bidding mechanics with a strong Ancient Egyptian theme and richly illustrated components.
