This particular set is different from some of the other, older Illuminati Card Game Sets I’ve seen, but off memory this one is (or at least, can be), a seperate stand-alone game… The differences are pretty great though, some of the cards are actually much bigger than usual cards (but those are for a purpose), the newer artwork on them is amazing (much of it is in colour), comes with a full set of dice & money chips which actually look like mini money notes which I found super cute, the box is great too, really strong & sturdy for collectors …Having never seen one of this set before so not knowing what to expect, I was very happy with what I got for the money & impressed with the game overall.
