User:Miley Spears/Illuminati: New World Order

Illuminati: New World Order (INWO) is a conspiracy collectible card game (CCG).

Historical
It was released in 1994 by Steve Jackson Games, based on their original boxed game Illuminati, which in turn was inspired by the 1975 book The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. An OMNI sealed-deck league patterned after the Atlas Games model was also developed. It led to a board game by the same company.

Conspiratorial
The game dealt with various fictional conspiracies before they became common on the Internet.

It became the subject of a conspiracy theory itself. A report claimed it predicted the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States, and an article in March 2020 reported that attack, the 2018 Las Vegas shooting, and the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic of 2019-2020.
