Illuminati Deluxe Groups spreadsheet

Page 1, lists the groups in alphabetical order. Page 2 is a copy of the originating document and a complete cardlist. Minor changes to the original are additional fields for "Edition" and "Media" to correlate with expansions. This is a good tool to use for sorting groups. A similar template is used for Y2K and BFD.
