Become Part of the Problem: Illuminatus Kickstarter Live Now
Who is behind the world’s problems? You are! Join the conspiracy and play Illuminatus, a conspiracy-themed satirical board game for 2-6 semi-cooperative players set in the modern world.
Conspire with other factions until the time is right to strike or just work against them from the outset. The clock is ticking and it won’t be long before the next cataclysmic world event occurs that could ruin everything you have worked so hard for and doom us all.
Things don’t just happen, you as an illuminatus make them happen and all according to your master plan. Perform false flag attacks, install puppet governments, conduct research, manipulate world events, use covert assets, convention weapons, WMDs, politicians, social media, secret meetings, and more to amass gold and achieve your goals all from a safe deniable distance.
Every action has a cost and moves you that much closer to the end of the world. Play your hand too openly and you risk being exposed. Become too (in)famous and you are in trouble, blame it on others and you might just get away with it.
First seen back at Gen Con 2014's First Exposure Playtest Hall (FEPH), Dark Mushroom Games is back with Illuminatus, now on Kickstarter. They've done the years of development work, the game is almost ready, but they need your help with the last hurdle to get it manufactured.
Become part of the problem. Win Conspiracy swag. Pledge your support on Kickstarter now.
