Illuminati, Steve Jackson’s 36 year old card game that satirizes conspiracy theories—and still sometimes inspires them!—is out in a second edition. While gameplay remains pretty much the same, the updated Illuminati features a variety of new cards, as well as new art by Lar deSouza.
In Illuminati, players build networks of organizations designed to control society. Cards represent the well-known and secret groups, artifacts, and intrigues popular with conspiracy theorists. The update replaces some from the cold war-focused first edition to better represent the internet age.
Orders direct from SJ Games’ Warehouse 23 come with a Fake News promo card.
