So gigabett doesnt matter much?


may be its just me.... The copy in both places (picplum and custora)is too confusing to understand the service they offer.


I never thought about that. Most resistence has been the graphic on the package. I am going to try that. Good idea. Thanks.


Yes, I'm considering the graphic an obscenity, as well as the words -- I just don't think you can display that at retail in the U.S without potentially getting the retailer in trouble in most communities. I think a simple brown craft paper wrapper or sleeve with 'drinking party card game' in simple/bold letters might do the trick.


Not that I'm interested in buying any or I'm in favor of any. Some of them have screenshot of their paypal account.

I was actually shocked to find that you can buy Google + and Facebook likes...

I have a friend who owns a few subways. What he shared was, usually owning a subway is a volume business. You would make $2,500 to $3,000 on each (avg location). But you have to slog a lot, manage employees and all other headaches.

owning a few of these micro sites is lot easier than running something like subway (is what came to my mind)


Yes you are right. I was in UK this summer to attend a wedding. I visited a few liquor stores in Hayes to get a feel, they instantly bought the game. Unfortunately I just had few samples. http://youtu.be/lFwJNuaydJE


Really appreciate you taking the time for the feedback. I have little do list now. As a token of appreciation and if you are interested I will send you a deck

email [ fthiscardgame At Gmail Dot Com ] with your address (Just USA). If you like the game you can paypal me $14.99 to the same address or what you think is appropriate.

I have 20 decks that I can send. 1 per person


I have tried bars. Not many are open because of the name of the game. The few bars that agreed and what worked for me is when I did a promotion and have been there physically (I sold all the decks I took there).


Bring them to Australia and sell them to the Kevin "Bloody" Wilson bogan crowd. The F word is the worst swear in the USA, whereas in Australia it's not so bad.


Advertising on 4chan is a good idea that i never thought about, I have always posted to their boards... I will ad that to my list. Thanks


Glad that was helpful. 4chan is just an example. Go find the other 20 websites like them that have good traffic volumes that you can advertise on.


Yes. The 2,000 decks are already printed. I have sold 300 decks. But that's one-on-one and word-of-mouth. And the reason I have come up with this proposition is because, I know when people play this game they will like it.


Hi Chris, Not sure if you had the opportunity to see the cards...Just wanted to clarify. this is just a drinking card game with a lot of F


Yes I saw the game, and yes I get it. I just don't think there is a massive market for this because attitudes have changed.

My point was that this is what the rejections are telling you too.


It is immature it is dumb but I can tell you this there are plenty of college kids that would live for games like this.

Drinking is immensely popular in many colleges and drinking games are one of the most common forms of college drinking (see beer pong and others).

The real problem is that their really isn't a shop that wants to carry a game like this I would think if there were a novelty shop it might be the best bet (maybe spencer's gifts style) it is just there are so few of these kind of shops that the market reach for this kind of game is limited.
