Season 7 Episode 237
Welcome to “Episode 237: The Illuminati Card Game Conspiracy”! Before Pokémon packs and Magic: The Gathering took over the world, a strange 1982 card game called “Illuminati” hit the shelves. Decades later, it’s at the center of one of the weirdest conspiracies ever. In this week’s episode, Aly and Nat explore how the game’s creepy, satirical cards eerily mirror real-world events like 9/11, COVID-19, and even the rise of Donald Trump. Was it just a coincidence, or did the game’s creator, Steve Jackson, have access to secret esoteric knowledge? From a dramatic Secret Service raid on Jackson’s office to theories about predictive programming and government time-viewing tech, this episode dives deep into the bizarre history of a card game that blurred the line between parody and reality.
