Description
Illuminati is a classic game of world domination where 2 to 6 players take on the role of secret societies trying to spread their influence across the globe. Designed by Steve Jackson, this 1982 game is easy to learn and plays out over 60 to 120 minutes. Each player draws cards, including special interest groups and events, and must use strategy and hand management to take over these groups and add them to their network. The game is all about building a powerful network of controlled groups, while also disrupting your opponents' plans. With a unique set of rules and cards, including illuminati cards, group cards, and special event cards, every game is different. The winning condition is different for each player, depending on their illuminati card, adding an extra layer of complexity and excitement to the game.
