It's getting easier to find the conspiracies all around us. Just look at the news.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction is about: Supermajority, Health Reform, Bank Collapse, Superpatriot Act, Economic Stimulus – they're tools for world control. You knew it all along, didn't you?

This set introduces "New World Order" cards to the classic Illuminati game. A NWO card affects all the players, not just the one who put it down. This mechanic first appeared in the collectible card version of Illuminati. You liked it then – so here it is for the original game.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction contains 18 NWO cards to boost, penalize, and offend major political and social groups of all kinds. There are also five special cards to trigger, add, or remove NWO effects.

This is not a stand-alone game; you'll need Illuminati to play.

Key features:
  • New World Order Mechanic: Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction introduces "New World Order" (NWO) cards that affect every player, adding a twist of unpredictability and extra layers of strategy to the game. This mechanic, originally seen in the collectible card version, is now available for the classic Illuminati board game.
  • Powerful New Cards: The expansion features 18 unique NWO cards designed to impact players with themes like Supermajority, Health Reform, and Economic Stimulus, targeting political and social issues in a satirical way.
  • Game-Changing Special Cards: Five special cards enable players to trigger, modify, or negate NWO effects, giving them more control (and opportunities for sabotage) within the game.
  • Topical Themes: The expansion includes tongue-in-cheek references to modern issues such as bank collapses and patriot acts, tapping into real-world conspiracies and amplifying the intrigue.
  • Requires Base Game: This expansion is not a stand-alone game; players will need the original Illuminati board game by Steve Jackson Games to enjoy the added depth and strategy of Mutual Assured Distraction.
