Background groups receive messages after the card does, so passing a 
message on the card will send it to the background group. If Joe 
maintains the HC paradigm of a single background group then it works 
like HC did.

If more than one background group exists, then they each receive the 
message in their layer order after the card gets it, provided one of the 
backgrounds doesn't trap and stop the message.

Card groups get messages before the card gets them.

If you have a mix of card and bg groups, the card groups get the first 
shot at the message, then the card gets it, then the background groups 
get it.
