New Groups for INWO
In a fit of all too common dementia, we came up some ideas for new groups for INWO. Some are meant to be taken seriously, others are not; as always, the line between the two are blurred... (Some of these may actually duplicate real cards; if so, we apologize--we haven't seen all the different cards yet!)
