The evil Illiterati have taken control of the world’s books, leaving the League of Librarians as the last line of defence. In Illiterati, your team must work together under pressure to restore damaged books, build words from letter tiles and then defeat the villains threatening your library.
 
This challenging cooperative word game is played in frantic three-minute rounds. Each player receives letter tiles plus a red book showing a restoration condition, such as creating animal words or using a specific number of tiles with particular symbols. Once the timer starts, everyone can discuss plans, trade letters as well as raid the shared library before racing to complete their personal objective before time runs out.
 
The pressure builds as the Illiterati strike back. At the end of each round, a villain card introduces a new threat, with repeated villains causing their previous effects to trigger again in a dangerous chain. Letters can be stripped from your carefully constructed words, forcing your team to rethink its plans before another book is lost.
 
As books are restored, new challenges replace them. Once every player has completed the required number of books, the Final Chapter begins. Everyone must complete the same demanding objective within a single round to win the game. If one librarian fails, the villains attack again, giving your team another chance to recover before the library is overwhelmed.
 
With real-time word building, cooperative strategy, escalating difficulty, Illiterati creates an intense family board game experience where vocabulary alone will not guarantee victory. You’ll need communication, quick thinking, clever letter management plus nerves of steel when the countdown begins.
