Spear of Longinus

Can be used once per attack to grant a substantial bonus, but only for your own attacks; it cannot be used to trigger your own Stonehenge-style immunity against an attack made with it, since immunity cannot be triggered by your own cards.

Needs research.

Group (Place) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Stonehenge

Grants immunity to all Magic-aligned groups, Magic Plot cards, and Magic Resources, though this immunity cannot protect against the owner's own Magic cards.

Group (Resource) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Suicide Squad

Its effect is resolved with a die roll that is not itself an Attack to Destroy, so cards or abilities that specifically modify Attacks to Destroy cannot be used on it, though generic die-roll modifiers still can.

Supreme Court

Needs research.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Survivalists

Gives its controlling group a recovery benefit on the turn after that group suffers a Devastation, and this still applies even if the Survivalists are moved onto a group that was already devastated.

Organization · INWO: Assassins

Swingers

Gains +1 Power for every other Liberal Group present in the same Power Structure.

Group (Place) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Texas

Its own special ability, along with any Resource or Personality linked to or benefiting it, counts as 'involving Texas' for cards that key off that phrase; a Plot card kept hidden under Texas still counts as part of your hand even though it cannot be exposed.

Group (Resource) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

The Bronze Head

Lets you reroll a single failed Attack to Control once per turn, with the second roll standing, though this does not work when trying to bring a group into play as an 'agent' card.

Gets a +4 bonus whenever it attempts to take control of another Green Group.

Group (Resource) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

The Holy Grail

A Resource whose owner secretly writes down the name of a Place as its hidden location; if that Place is ever attacked to destroy or Devastated, the owner reveals the note and the attack automatically fails, with the Grail continuing to protect that Place afterward, though if the Place is instead captured, the Grail vanishes and is discarded.

Needs research.

Group (Resource) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

The Library at Alexandria

A Resource representing a hidden repository of ancient knowledge; it gives a bonus toward attempts to control Science, Magic, or Computer groups.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

The Mafia

A powerful Criminal-aligned group with an unusually large number of control arrows, though its own special ability is comparatively modest: a small bonus toward controlling or destroying other Criminal groups.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

The Men in Black

Can permanently destroy a target even if that target has some special protection against permanent destruction; like similar cards, its bonus does not apply to Instant Attacks unless specifically stated.

Organization · INWO: Assassins

The Thule Group

Lets you sacrifice Group cards straight from your hand for a benefit tied to their combined printed Power, though you must commit to how many cards you're discarding before the action is resolved.

Tobacco Companies

Gets a +8 bonus (rather than the usual -4 penalty) toward directly controlling a Government group, effectively brushing aside the standard Corporate-versus-Government alignment friction.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Trading Card Games

A very common Limited-Edition-only Group card (also included in the Factory Set) that, once traded in and discarded, can return to play via a duplicate copy or a card like Recycling Centers; if it is ever replaced by another group, its legally-linked cards and any puppets that still fit carry over to the replacement.

Counts double for any Illuminated goal that involves counting Liberal groups, mirroring how the Fred Birch Society counts double for goals involving Conservative groups.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

TV Preachers

Gets a special bonus for directly controlling a Straight, Fanatic-aligned group, replacing the normal Straight-matching bonus with a larger one while the usual Fanatic-alignment bonus still applies on top, netting an unusually large combined total.

Vampires

As a Group, the Vampires can turn a Personality they successfully attack and take control of into a permanent vampire; separately, any vampire Personality (unlike the Vampires group itself) cannot be killed or assassinated by ordinary means, only through Magic, though a plain Attack to Destroy still works against them.

Group (Place) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Vatican City

Its immunity covers its owner's entire power structure, hand, decks, and discards against Peaceful-aligned groups, not merely the Vatican card itself.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

W.I.T.C.H.

Can alter the outcome of a die roll, even one that would otherwise be an automatic failure, and with two action tokens on it can adjust a roll twice in the same instance; it cannot be used to affect the rolls of a rival protected by Stonehenge.

Group · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Wall Street

Always has the option, when it makes or aids an attack, to treat any Corporate group as Government or vice versa; this flexibility applies only to Wall Street itself and does not extend to other groups taking part in the attack.

Group (Resource) · INWO Base Set (Limited/Unlimited)

Warehouse 23

When first played, lets you make a free automatic takeover of an Artifact or Gadget Resource; afterward, any Resource you take over can be hidden inside it, kept unusable until you choose to expose it, and is protected from rivals unless they capture or destroy the Warehouse itself, which discards its hidden contents along with it.
