Illuminati Card Game Steve Jackson

I DO NOT OWN THIS MATERIAL! NO COPYRIGHTS INFRINGED! In September 1981, Steve Jackson and his regular free-lance cover artist Dave Martin discussed their mutual admiration of the Illuminatus! Trilogy, and the latter suggested a game. Steve Jackson decided against adapting the novel because of the expense of game rights, and the difficulty of adapting a novel with such convoluted plots. He decided "a game about the secret-conspiracy idea behind Illuminatus!" was doable. After doing research on the Illuminati and conspiracy theories, and "extensive and enthusiastic playtesting" it went on the market in July 1982 in the "pocket box" format (a plastic box the size of a mass-market paperback) which was at the time the usual for SJG. Over the next few years, three expansions for the pocket box Illuminati game were published--the first two were substantially incorporated into the deluxe edition, while the third was an earlier version of what would become Illuminati: Brainwash.

Robert Shea provided a four-paragraph introduction to the rulebook for the Illuminati Expansion Set 1 (1983), in which he wrote, "Maybe the Illuminati are behind this game. They must be—they are, by definition, behind everything." Despite this initial involvement, Wilson later criticized some of these products for exploiting the Illuminatus! name without paying royalties (taking advantage of what he viewed as a legal loophole).[3] Later commentators have attributed both the game and the Illuminatus! trilogy as using real conspiracies as "targets of ridicule."[4]

@nikahatt - can't say for certain

[michaelahls]

1:55.where is that clip from???

[TheInsurgent1]

@michaelahls - That is from a lecture given by Bill Cooper. He was murdered in a gunfight provoked by undercover federal agents at his home in Arizona. He was an underground radio host that predicted 9/11 and pretty much told everyone they would use Osama Bin Laden as the "boogey-man" 6 months prior to the day. Search his name out and listen to some his material. Very eye-opening....

[pricture]

@Camilion922 Its a song from the matrix, I dont find it that scary. :P

[jakemosswood]

these cards work like tarot cards a foreseen event is seen on each card there is even card that depicts that Obama would become president the likeness of the cartoon character and Obama himself is uncanny and to the guy at the top of the page it is not the "wako clock tower" from Japan if you look carefully the 4 people on the card are of different ethnicities foreshadowing events that will take place when the 2012 Olympic games start in London like if you agree with me
