SJG also made an expansion for the Role-Playing Game GURPS with the same name, which won the Origins award for best role-playing game supplement in 1993.Ī Digital version of the game released on Steam on Dec 27, 2022. It was inspired by the Illuminatus! trilogy and the game's official website is here.

Over the years it has been offered in both fixed-set and collectable versions, while a licensed play-by-email version of the game is run by Flying Buffalo. Every different organization has its own goal and powers, with the ultimate plan of being the only secret society left. The twist? You're one of those societies, and so are the other players. In this game, there are secret societies trying to take control of the the world and its residents. Illuminati: The Game of Conspiracy is a Card Game created by Steve Jackson Games (also known for their game Munchkin). Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and where can you find the only truth? Certainly not in the game of Illuminati. Perhaps the clearest insight into Illuminati’s alleged soothsaying properties comes from Mr Blankenship, who told Vice: “It’s pretty much like any psychic - say that a Middle Eastern leader will be killed next year and you have a decent chance of getting it right.'They're all around us. That’s why groups like the South American Nazis, the Cattle Mutilators, the fluoridators, the Communists, the oil companies and the United Nations, are in there.” “As much as possible, I wanted to retain the ‘flavour’ of the conspiracy material I’d been reading. Logically, then, a wacky game should be more fun to play. Among all the material I’d read, the articles with the really wacky theories - even if they were presented totally seriously - were the most fun to read. Mr Jackson explained that he had carried out extensive research into cults and conspiracy theories and observed: “It’s possible to get deadly serious about the idea of conspiracies and assassinations. “Giant golden dope-smuggling submarines, talking dolphins, anarchistic midgets, the holy man underneath Dealy Plaza (the Dealy Lama, of course), dozens of secret organisations with obscene acronyms, and a final deus ex machina in the form of a real live (and horny) goddess… Even if you could figure out who was on whose side, which I didn’t think I could, how could you make a game out of it? But it was such a fascinating thought!”
