Apparently they have a library of some kind in the US Parliament, and have released some photos on Flickr. Here is a sequence from the 1910s and one from the 30s & 40s in colour.

Neato.

We need some New-minati

So, on my drive to work, I was thinking that the time is right for a new Illuminati set. I mean, SJG is pretty much just a card game company now, right?

I was actually thinking that I'd like to play Illuminati, because it is fun, but no one I know likes it, which makes me sad.

(interjection: Apparently Steve Jackson knew about 9/11 in '95!)

I was thinking of some relatively recent events that would make good Specials cards.

Bring 'Em On!: You automatically gain control of target Group. For the next two turns, attacks on you gain +5.

Heck of a Job!: Target Group's power is reduced to 1, permanently.

My Pet Goat: Remove all money from target group.

Of course, we're more likely to see Munchkin Illuminati first.
 
Edit: Of course, apparently Bavarian Fire Drill finally  came out last year.  Damn web blockers!

e, n, d, d, i, e on the rack

Whoops! Apparently Scrabulous got slapped with a C&D. Ouch.

Thank God I uninstalled it a while back. Primarily because I suck at it, mind you.

I guess it's only a matter of time until My Heroes Power gets knocked down, too.
