Illuminati Second Edition Game | The Game of Conspiracy Family Card Dice Game | For Adults and Family | Ages 13+ | 2 - 6 Players | Average Play Time 60 -120 Minutes | From Steve Jackson Games

A great game from a great publisher. The updates the 2nd edition bring are more relevant cards and new card art. The art is very Munchkin and the new cards are fun as someone who is more familiar with the events of today rather than the events parodied by 1st edition. The game seems complicated at a glance but after some time the mechanics are easy to learn. I had a lot of fun with my friends, backstabbing, bluffing, and cackling like evil masterminds. A wonderful purchase.

Still one of my all time favorite card games. If you're from the new land of "living card games" like Arkham Horror and such, note that Illuminati is much, much simpler than those. This is not a hyper complex RPG simulator using three hundred cards that cover a dozen different game mechanics. It's a very straightforward game where you build networks of factions (like convenience stores, or California) to create your Illuminated empire. It's kind of like playing a political cartoon. Most games of Illuminati are going to take an hour, maybe an hour an a half, so you don't have to commit an entire evening it, like you do many of its larger descendants in the card game universe.

This game is one of our absolute favorites. It's funny and engaging with reasonably simple rules. This is genuinely one of my favorite ways to share an afternoon. It maintains the legacy of the original game (while being more silly and cartoonish) by randomly predicting the future. Behold the blogger card that looks the the blogger lady from that show The Savant. 😅

I love this game. It was very hard to understand the rules for the first play, but then... it became our favorite family game. Must have for conspiracy fans.

Game box arrived damaged, but I gave it anyway (I would not have had time to return it.). It was a gift.

This is a fun, weird card game

I've been an Illuminati fan since the pocket box editions. I loved INWO, and the edition prior to this one (and all of its expansions). While the cards are.wonderfully colored, with vibrant art, it just doesn't play as well to me as the previous editions. While I find it a perfectly adequate game, it just seems a bit dumbed down. I don't know. Call me a grognard. I am hoping the Alternate Truths expansion adds back some of that missing flavor.

I first bought and played this game back in the 80s. Since then I have bought copies of it and gifted them to various people. I don’t know how many copies of bought but it’s probably at least half a dozen. I think the concept of conspiracy theories and secret organizations ruling the world has become even more of a thing lately. It’s great that the expansion packs keep up with the latest nuttiness. I can’t wait to see the Q-anon expansion set.

Top Sache :)

Llevaba tiempo buscando éste juego y aquí es donde lo encontré más barato y de mejor calidad que en cualquier otro lugar que haya buscado. El juego llegó sin ninguna marca de daño y completamente nuevo. Sin duda alguno uno de mis juegos de mesa favoritos y también de los más conflictivos, no te fies de nadie.

Se supone que es una segunda edición, por lo que tenía que tener todas las cartas de la primera edición , pero no es así faltan cartas de la primera edición y para mí cartas muy importantes , lastima que siempre por ganar dinero tengan que engañar

Ho preso il gioco per via della storia che racchiude. Le carte sono molto molto belle! Resistenti e con ottima grafica, inoltre ci sono alcuni eventi accaduti realmente che si dice siano stati predetti da questo gioco (non tutti ovviamente perché sono passati molti anni dal gioco originale e dalle carte collezionabili che hanno reso famoso questo gioco) Consiglio tantissimo! Meccanica di gioco impegnativa ma una volta capita è molto bello! Le istruzioni sono in inglese ma sono facilmente trovabili su internet quelle in italiano riferite alla prima versione del gioco. Consiglio!

New edition of a classic SJG product. Still very fun
