Product Description
They're all around us. Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and where can you find the only truth? Certainly not in the game of Illuminati. Fnord. By popular demand, Deluxe Illuminati (not to be confused with the trading-card version, INWO) is back in print! This current edition features full-color cards and improved money chits... but it's the same game you know and fear, of secret conspiracies battling for world control.

This is an update of the original Illuminati game that was originally released in the 80s. It features some extensions, and most importantly updated colour artwork!
Players take on the role of shadowy secret societies called the Illuminati. Examples being the Gnomes of Zurich (money-masters), the Bavarian Illuminati (power-mongers), and several others. Each secret conspiracy has its own goal, which is pursued by taking over other, lesser organisations such as the Mafia, the UN, or the IRS - each represented by its own card in the game.
At a more human level, the game lends itself to interesting rivalries and alliances, as weaker players gang up to bring down a stronger one, or deals are made (and broken).
Highly recommended if you're looking for a slightly off-mainstream game to play with several like-minded friends.

The Illuminatus Trilogy was a fantastic read, and this game based upon it definitely lives up to the quality and reputation of the book. I work as a Video game designer and its really refreshing to play a game with fairly simple rules yet with very deep involving gameplay, real intrigue and a style of play which matches the paranoia of its original inspiration. Plus the advanced rules state that you can cheat, which is perfectly in the spirit of the game! (note to other videogame designers: you can learn a lot from this ;) )

I was disappointed when I got these as was expecting all the cards you see on the internet. You get some of them but I didn't realise that there were lots of supplementary packs that you have to get as add ons to complete the set and I wasn't able to figure out which ones were which. My own fault I know. It's an intriguing game all the same and fun to play and discuss as you go along.
