It's already been asked before, buy is this specific version for sale in English? Because the stock image is not and it says the origin is in China. Also, what precisely is included in this set? How many cards? Are there megabucks pieces? Are the are all 8 Illuminati control groups? etc. I want to know if this game is playable out of the box for an English speaker (sorry of questions are redundant).

When I bought this, it was all in English (no chinese, or any other language), but I'm not sure if it's the same one as it is now...The stack of cards is about an inch and a half thick, and there are plenty of megabucks (we've played many times and never run out) As far as I remember, yes there are eight control groups. Hope it helps :)

It's english, and I don't know if they actually released a version in Chinese.It includes all the MB tokens and cards that you need in order to play. This is the set you're looking for.

It does not include those cards. Maybe in an expansion. Not sure if you've bought the game yet or not. In my opinion, as a deck-builder, there are games that are way more fun out there. The cards however are beautiful and unique. Hence, I'm breaking these sets down and selling the cards only as collectibles online at www.nuckelheads-toys-and-games.com. They should be listed shortly. I hope that answers your question.

Check with Kruk Cards, but this should be the Premiere/base edition of the game. This is the one I ordered, and in answering your question, I can see the correct box in the picture provided with the question.

I did not realize there are so many variations? The picture I am seeing is the Hasbro game (4 & up) - totaly different shapes than the original game when I was little? You are right...looks like only 9 pieces. I purchased the MB/Milton Bradley (5 & up)...25 pieces & the SAME exact board as the original. This also has a compartment on the back of the game to store all the pieces. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! TAKE CARE! :)

Yes. I wondered why you asked that so I looked up the listing. No idea why the one image shows those plain playing pieces. Must have been an older version. It's a very fun game. Good for learning strategy.

You don't necessarily have to by the original, but it doesn't make much sense because the amount of cards you get in the expansion is very small compared to the core game. Also, like others have said, its nice to have the instructions. If you can't buy them all, I know in the past they have provided the ability to print the cards for free. I think its worth buying them to support the company, but also the quality of the cards would be much worse if you printed them off.

According to BGG forums: chriswray84 wrote:I'm going to sleeve the cards in my copy of Coup (which hasn't come yet). I've never sleeved a game before. Does anybody know what size of sleeves to order? Any recommended brand? I'm ordering from Cardhaus, if that helps at all.From the "More information" section of the game entry:* 65mm x 100mm (7 Wonders sized sleeves fit perfectly)

Random. There are a few that you can tell were on the same brain path, but overall they are random. I do know that they sometimes release limited edition stuff though that follow themes, like last christmas they had a christmas expansion, and they are selling the 'Box' on their website with cards about boxes. If you're interested in theme stuff, my advice is to check some of the unofficial custom card communities and sign up for their email list on their website.

It is an actual card. If you can get an official translation you could use it(not in tournaments), but it isn't all that good. Its more of a collectors item.

The game I received from Amazon was the English version. You might double check to see if you find an image that shows the English version before ordering.

This version of Illumati is more of a board game where you lay out a network of properties and crawl through them. The one you're probably looking for is called Illuminati: New World Order (or NWO for short). It's a Collectible Card Game (CCG) similar to Magic The Gathering where you don't build a network of connected cards but rather play cards on your side and attack cards on other player's sides. The cards in question are "Terrorist Nuke" which is eerily similar to the World Trade Center and shows one of the buildings being destroyed.. and another called Pentagon with a fire in the middle. Considering the tongue in cheek reference to the occult and things like the military industrial complex, the fires on this card are likely meant to represent something as a joke rather than show the Pentagon taking damage. I:NWO was first issued in 1994, well before the 9/11 attacks. So despite the creepy factor, it's just a coincidence that these cards were shown this way. Again, not part of Illuminati or Deluxe Illuminati but part of a different game called Illuminati: New World Order.

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

The company releases the cards in various languages. ie you can get the same card in English, French, German, Japanese, and Korean. I should say that was how they did it in Magic cards at least.

I have also found several definitions of words to be incorrect in the game cards. What's with that? Are the "real" answers Absolute Balderdash also? That's fine if they are, it would just be good to know.
