About this Event

PRS Esoteric Game Night!

Come one, come all! Test your luck at esoteric & historic, family-friendly games of chance & skill!

On the third evening of the week of every moon (third Wednesday of the month) PRS shuffles tarot cards, rolls many-sided dice & advances mystical pieces along ancient gameboard recreations at our monthly community gathering in the bookstore, PRS Esoteric Game Night!

Each month we feature & play a family-friendly* card, board or parlour game of esoteric or historic note.

AUGUST'S GAME

You've heard whispers of its existence for decades, but now everyone can plainly see that it's real. And by "it" we mean Steve Jackson's award-winning, satirical role-playing game from the 80s inspired by The Illuminatus! Triology by Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea.

HOW TO PLAY

Players control secret societies such as the Gnomes of Zurich, the Servants of Cthulhu & the Society of Assassins. They take turns drawing cards to build their power pyramids with puppet organizations like the CIA, the "Boy Sprouts" & "Empty Vee", all while rolling the dice to attack the growing pyramids of their opponents.

So come, make new frenemies & do the same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the world.

*Illuminati: The Game of Conspiracy is intended for ages 12 and up.

Tickets: $10 Suggested Donation or RSVP and donate at the door!
