Hearing some of the crazy conspiracy theories involved with the election is inspiring me to play Illuminati. But I don’t like have to keep passing all the tiny shreds of money between all my cards. It really takes me out of the strategy of the game. Is there a web based version? Or an Android app?

I used to play that a lot in College in the early 90s. Such a fun game!

There’s a couple of versions on Tabletop Simulator, on the Steam Workshop, although that would require everyone you want to play together owning TS.

I would pay a lot of megabucks for something like that!

I’ve been wondering for more than a decade when Mr. Jackson would see the light and make a computer version of _Illuminati!_ but so far no luck.
