Illuminati Reboot?

Antonucci23 · 03-11-2017, 11:10 AM

Is a reboot of Illuminati (original non-CCG edition) in the works?

It seems topical and easy, at least conceptually. It's a Nixonian game in a New Nixonian super-conspiracy era.

Would be delighted to do game redesign and/or cooperate with artist if that would facilitate.

Thanks!

It is not. A new printing of Illuminati is on the way in 2017, but it's just a new printing, cards have not changed.

So, there will be some reprints I take it ? I need the Y2K expansion that came out after the boxed deluxe edition in the late 90's. Its getting hard to find, and when you do, most of the time it comes at a premium. Nice !

We have no plans to reprint Y2K.

To expand on Phil's comment, the new printing is just Illuminati, not the expansions. It's just a regularly scheduled printing to make sure we keep it in stock for stores and the warehouse.

In this age of renewed conspiracy and "fake news" how is a true reboot or even small expansion not in the works?

Sure Munchkin sells ridiculously, but it also gets so much support. Just some card replacements or additions to Illuminati would do wonders for getting it out to a new audience. Or go one better and tighten up the rules and get the true playtime to 90 minutes; with some marketing and just basic updates Illuminati really could get much closer to Munchkin numbers. I'd love to get a new version to my table.

We have limited resources and are focused on completing a few major projects before opening up another monsterload of work.
