[Groop]The Sport of Mendicants

[Gary Grossmann]

Hmmm.  The only question is:  Are these sophomore boys progressing or
regressing by switching from Magic to The Groo Game?  Of course, with 15-16
year old boys, who can tell?  -Gary G.  (Who has a 13 year old daughter
attracting the attention of such boys-that is, until they see me giving them
"The Death Look."
