___
Battle for world domination in this darkly satirical, turn-based strategy game—based on the beautifully balanced deck-builder from Steve Jackson Games. Play against up to 3 AIs, or dial up the full experience in a 4-player cross-platform game!



THREE ERAS OF GLOBE-SPANNING CONSPIRACY
A long-time fan favorite, the first Illuminati[/I] video game pays homage to its history, leaning into the game's classic editions: the original cards from the ’80s and ’90s, alongside a new set of cards for the modern day. Each era follows the conspiracies and concerns of its time, showing how the world's greatest conspiracies echo forward into the future. Is there a connection between the three? You're not cleared for that.
CONTROL OR DESTROY
Each group controlled by your Illuminati adds more power and more special abilities to fuel your schemes, as well as greater resistance to your enemies. Build your conspiracy from groups like the F.B.I. and Russia—or The Men in Black, The Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow! The rabbit hole is deep, with over 275 groups across the eras. Controlling more groups grows your conspiracy—or destroy them, either to foil a rival or to feed your own dark goals.
PLOT & THE WORLD PLOTS WITH YOU
Don’t like the rules? Break them! Each turn your minions deliver a new Plot, to speed your progress or trip your enemies—or why not both? World domination comes closer with each sinister Plot you play—and the basic game comes with 112 Plots across the eras.
All 382 cards are illustrated, with more sinister details and cross-references than you could fit in Warehouse 23 where they keep the Ark of the Covenant.
CHOOSE YOUR CONSPIRACY
Choose from 6 different secret conspiracies, each with different strengths, different abilities, and different ways to win the game. Some are driven by raw power, or money. One just wants the world to be more weird…while another only wants to burn it all to the ground. Each Illuminati has a unique design, including custom music, effects, and visuals.
ILLUMINATI is a full game experience for newcomers and for long-time fans. The game has been tested by hundreds of people so far, now we're excited to get the game into many more hands—but we're looking beyond making a complex game easy and fun to play. For the past nine months, we've been introducing new cards and new features every few weeks, and we are just getting started.
Join the conspiracy!

I loved the card game as a kid. Its complex, but its super conspiracy fun. However, so far its only been developed for two player. Once they finish it to allow up to four players (or AI players) as it was originally intended it will be great. I love the different card decks and those that do no like the UI probably do not realize that this is supposed to be a card game. Lets go devs keep those evil plots going!
UI实在不行,什么过场动画都没有,极其简陋。内容上阵营都不全,卡也不全。 但是!这可是光明会啊!我可是从小看X档案和双峰的人啊! 有这个情怀我能咋办嘛~只能给个好评了

Simultaneously a fantastic update and a faithful reimagining of the Illuminati card game. Clearly still an early access game, but getting better by the day. Well worth the money!
Fun game and clever concept but v.v. bugly :(
Have great memories of playing the original game, and its pretty rad to have an entirely new version. The nostalgia factor alone for me is what it's all about, but it also puts a smile on my face to play with those who are new to the game as well.
Recreates the basic gameplay with the later graphics from the era of INWO. I'm not overly fond of the color cards but the gameplay is on target. I wish there was a better representation of a power structure available. Wish there was a "classic" graphics version as per the first three releases. I love the basic art.
really bad game far away from the original deck game
After looking at the card set... I have 18 decks of Illuminati "1990" + Y2K... there are a lot of cards missing (where are the artifacts, personalities, etc) but I hope they will be added to the game soon. The game works fine and it's the ILLUMINATI CCG I know. I recommend it, but I'm counting on more cards ... at the moment it's not twisted enough.
I have been a huge fan of this game since I first played the physical game in the 90s. This is a pretty good digital version that I quickly put 5 hours into. I have only played vs the AI but I plan on roping some friend in to play V.S. Overall I would recommend it. The price is no too bad, and the Art is very much based on the original, including the original game line art. This is going to fill my long empty Illuminati fix. They are also working on a CCG rules version I look forward to seeing when it is done. Good indie game based on a classic.
It's something.
