Illumination

Manufacturer: Eagle-Gryphon Games

A Game of Mad Medieval Monks & Illuminated Manuscripts

In Illumination, you and your opponent are monks competing to become the new head of the Scriptorium. You do so by laying tiles, thus illuminating manuscripts with elaborate religious artwork. But not all is as peaceful as it once was! Possessed with eccentric enthusiasm, one of you has turned from the reverent to the irreverent by scrawling demons instead of angels and by painting fierce dragons instead of noble knights!

Who will become the new master of the Scriptorium? Will it be the monk who reverently illuminates the page with monks, dogs, knights, and angels or the irreverent monk who whimsically draws the forces of rabbit, squirrel, dragon, and demon? Play Illumination to find out!
