Description

Save the World, One Word at a Time

Illiterati is a cooperative survival word game in which your team of librarians must fight the Illiterati and save the world's books from certain devastation.

Each round you'll be faced with pivotal decisions. Will you focus on your own book? Give away letters and help others? Or. . .does everyone need to abandon ship and live to spell another day? Above all, work together because in the battle for literacy, it's all for one for none for all.
