These are the “control arrows” and show which groups are controlled by the Illuminati. The name of the group, that group’s special ability, some art for their group, two vital statistics (Power – which is what they use to take over other groups with and Income – how much money they make each turn), and four arrows pointing out from each side of the card. This card has several things printed on it. Each Illuminati group has a card which represents it. Now that you have a group, and a goal, how do you take over the world? Simply put, by controlling the various groups of people which comprise the world. There are two ways to win the game: 1) depending on the number of players, the Illuminati group which controls a specified number of other groups (we’ll get to that) is declared the winner, or 2) each Illuminati group has its own special victory condition which, if they achieve, allows them to win immediately. Wilsons Illuminatus! Trilogy), The Gnomes of Zurich (basically Swiss banking concerns), The UFOs (all hail our extra-galactic overlords!), and The Servants of Cthulhu (although it was in the base game, you could argue that the obligatory Cthulhu expansion for EVERY game made today started right here…). The original game came six such Societies (collectively called Illuminati groups): The Bavarian Illuminati (from whom the game takes its name), The Bermuda Triangle (thematically an odd ‘group’), The Discordian Society (from R.A. Each player takes on the role of a Secret Society bent on Global Domination (insert evil laughter here). It’s OK with two players, but the more players you have, the better it plays. Illuminati is a game for 2 to 6 players, but I don’t really recommend it for two. I’m going to have to introduce this at my local game club and share it with a whole new generation of gamers. I’m glad to see it here on the site, as its appearance has made me break out my old copies and start going through them again. I haven’t played the game in many years, but I could never bring myself to get rid of it either. I kept it, and all three of the original expansions, lovingly tucked away in a box as I grew up and moved across the country. It quickly became a staple of my gaming group throughout our high school days. I bought the very first edition of Illuminati, in the old plastic pocket box format, in 1982 ( NOTE: this review is of the 1982 edition). That is the great secret which YOU get to play out as one of these Secret Societies in Steve Jackson’s classic game Illuminati. That is the great secret which THEY don’t want you to know. … Is the History of Warfare Between Secret Societies.
