## Description

Conspiracies . . . they are all around us! In Illuminati, you increase your wealth and power until only YOU reign supreme. This recipient of the Origins Award for Best Science Fiction Boardgame is a classic that has now been updated to include recent events – plus new art! You’ll question whether this is only a game as you scheme your way to world domination!

Review: 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.

**Q: What year was this edition released?**
A: It was published this year, 2018

**Q: How many cards?**
A: There are 110 cards total in the game.

**Q: I see two versions of this game here on Amazon. Which will give me the better (more fun) experience?**
A: As of 2020, the cultural references are a good bit less dated in the current version: the older one is basically 80s-era. But that's just chrome -- and subordinate chrome at that; general conspiracy zaniness is more dominant. The play experience of the two is not significantly different.

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.
