0 Anonymous Illuminati Card v1.0
A new Illuminati Card created by me, The Anonymous Group! (obviously inspired by the actual situation) Hope you like it! Just made for fun. Please, if you have any suggestions just leave a comment. You can find the rules for this specific card just in back (page 2 of the same pdf). Cut the card by the lines and it will fit in your card sleeve
