Illuminati is a stand alone card game made by Steve Jackson Games (SJG), inspired by The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. The game has ominous secret societies competing with each other to control the world through sinister means, including legal, illegal, and even mystical. It was designed as a “tongue-in-cheek rather than serious”[1] take onconspiracy theories. It contains groups named similarly to real world organizations, such as theSociety for Creative Anachronism.[2] It can be played by two to eight players. Depending on the number of players, a game can take between one and six hours.
