I LOVE this game. I've played it numerous times throughout college and after. It is a card game of conspiracy and world domination loosely based on the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. Moreso it is about the crazy Conpiracy theories behind that and other books. The cards and rules are written with a similar sense of wry inciteful humor as the book, and that's part of the beauty of the game.
