Most cards are here, some real bangers in there. Some really dated cards too, like Imelda Marcos. Some are still current today. Some great meme material if anyone wants to go mining. https://archive.org/details/illuminati_card_game/

It was all right. Illuminati was an early microgame like Car Wars. I used to play it, it was lots of fun attacking each other and backstabbing. SO many games back then were violent PVP conflict. Today Eurogames are all about counting cubes and building a machine to manufacture victory points. This was the collectible card version of Illuminati to cash in on the success of MTG. I remember there was a USA card too that I badly wanted. I found someone selling it on USENET and got it. Sold in Europe only! Violent, government, conservative, high global power and the artwork was the Statue of Liberty with her foot on the globe with the caption Try and stop us! I doubt it's in this archive because it was a foreign-only card. I would get so much meme mileage out of this card. Maybe next time I'm in the States I'll try to find a card dealer with it.
