At game start,
- Remove the 2 Beggar and 2 Envoy cards from the deck; these characters are of little value in 2 player games

Modified end game
At the end of the game,
- no player is thrown to the crocodile!
- Instead, substract the number of amulets owned by the less corrupt of the two players from the total number of amulets owned by the most corrupt player
- The most corrupt player must then pay out of his own treasury a tax proportional to the amulets in excess of his opponent's, according to the table on the right.
- The wealthiest player once this tax payed is the winner of the game
Two player games of Cleopatra will typically last 45 min to an hour. To shorten this up, move Cleopatra one step forward from her usual start position, before the game begins.
