http://www.rinf.com/news/jun-05/16b.html (yes is is a conspiracy site - nonetheless this card game/roleplaying game did exhist. Still exhists). I do not think that Steve or anyone that worked for him had prior knowledge(hell in 1990 OBL was getting stingers from 'merica!). How many of you knew about this. I remember on 911 - going wtf that's just like that Illuminati game of Steve Jacksons. A case of "roleplaying" what a super powerful shadow government organization "would" play as a political option....then 5-6 years later it really happens. Wow.

Didn't Steve Jackson also create "Car Wars"? I hope that means he's predicting we get to install machine guns and rocket launchers on our cars soon...that would be awesome.
Naw we missed the timeline for carwars...or maybe not Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Some more cards from the game: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Funny thing, in 1990 Steve's offices got raided by the Secret service and one of the computers was running the "Illuminati" BBS(remember those lol) It don't think Steve had knowledge - but it IS very interesting to me that a roleplaying game(roleplaying a shadow government conspiracy) is emulating the event SO well. Let's just wait for this card to be played: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I remember playing this but I had the original set with black & white cards & no Terrorist Nuke/WTC card. So this card was added sometime after. Was it after the 1st attempt to blow up the WTC?
The only thing this proves is that the WTC was metephorically like one of those structures made from a deck of playing cards - has a big bullseye written all over it. I remember that game. Never played it through. However, I was a huge fan of "Car wars". I actually went so far as to scale up the 'angle ruler' so we could play using "Hot Wheels" as miniatures. I cannibalized plastic parts from my model collection, and glued them to the cars to make weapons. I also spent time painting and putting scratches/bullet marks on them. I think I'd still play that game nowadays if I could find people to play with.
I guess so, Yes I think it was just chance, again in roleplaying being in charge of a shadowy, string pulling organization . I find it strange they(secret service) specifically collected the Illuminati BBS in 1990.
I don't think the secret service raid was intended to stop the publication of the Illuminati game, although they did end up going after Steve Jackson's Cyberpunk game. This is from the SJ site's list of media errors concerning the raid: http://www.sjgames.com/SS/topten.html
I agree...I would totally play again. I'll bring my crown royal bag full of dice.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
