December 11, 2020: Holiday Staff Pick: Illuminati

As a young lad in high school, my afternoons were made richer by a pile of paper chits and cards in a little minibox that explored a shadowy world of conspiracies, control, and cutthroat conflict . . . the world of Illuminati. Now, nearly 40 years on, I personally remain on edition one (although my packaging has expanded significantly and become a bit dog-eared around the edges), but Illuminati is now available in a brand-new second edition with updated art, a new expansion (Alternative Truths), and an exciting new batch of cards and rule effects with Illuminati 2020. Whether you've been pulling the strings for decades, or just seeing the threads behind the curtain for the first time, Illuminati will make a wonderful addition to your game days this holiday season -- and beyond!
