Illuminati: New World Order Rules

What better way to begin your struggle to control the known and unknown world than with the World Domination Handbook?

• Version 1.2 - The most current official rules, brand-new as of January 2002. Compiled by Steve Brinich. Not available in hardcopy.
  • Download this big PDF file and print your OWN hardcopy.
  • Here's a brief summary of the changes between Versions 1.1 and 1.2.

• Version 1.1 -- The rules as distributed with the Unlimited edition of INWO.
  • Printer Ready -- All of the rules in one big (80+ K) file with simple graphics. Perfect for printing out and framing! Version 1.1
  • Screen Ready -- The rules in lots of little files with full color graphics. Designed for on-line reference. Version 1.1
  • ASCII -- The rules without the pretty graphics or links or anything.
  • INWO in Swedish (thanks to Lars Lindblad [leach@hem.passagen.se) for this]. They're in RTF format, which should be palatable to most word processors. You can download them uncompressed (85K) or zipped (25K).
  • The INWO:SubGenius Rules are posted for your convenience - a useful tool for one who wants to play OBD.
  
  
• Convention Tournament Rules -- To decrease the possibility of bloodshed at the conventions.
  
• INWO Spricht Deutsch -- Rules for using cards from the German edition of INWO in U.S. tournaments.
  
• Variant Rules -- Aren't the basic ones good enough for you?
  • Agents of Ennui - agents as cancellers
  • Bring Your Own Plots (NEW) - Shared Groups, individual Plot decks
  • Back by popular demand: the Cheating Rules!
  • The INWO Campaign - NWOs, destroyed groups etc. are carried over from game to game
  • Demolition Derby - mass destruction and mayhem
  • Using Homebrew cards - why stick with the official ones? (See our lists of unofficial cards for some pointers)
  • INWO for lunch - fast game rules for your lunch hour
  • Illuminati Shuffle: a variant fitting all Illuminati into a One-Big-Deck scenario
  • Last Man Standing - a faster and more balanced version of To The Death
  • NWO Madness - NWOs everywhere
  • The Metronome Solution - INWO with a beat. Avoids speed play.
  • INWO for newbies - a stripped -down version for beginners
  • Non-isolationist - stop those weenie decks in their tracks
  • One Big Deck rules - that is, rules for a game played from a central supply of cards, rather than separate decks for each player, like SubGenius. See also these sample decks for OBD.
  • Piglet - another hybrid of One Big Deck and standard rules
  • The Resource Factory - take over those seldom-played Resources easily
  • UFOs Classic - the UFOs have one secret, protected, changeable, Goal card
  • Uncontrolled groups - hybrid of One Big Deck and standard rules
  • INWO OMNI - use a single INWO starter deck, and bet cards from that starter deck in each game you play. Your deck mutates into several different and interesting variations, the more games you play.
