Illuminati Deluxe Groups spreadsheet

This is an update to a previously posted XLS file "groups.xls" by JR Spreadsheet that had some missing data. 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 eventually, BFD.
