How does that compare to the amount of money Minecraft has made?
It's less. But surely you knew that.

No, it's Apples to Apples except fun.
yeah, it's a pretty hilarious game. Especially when combined with copious amounts of beer and the right kind of friends. I think this actually shows that there may be a big market for non-politically correct games and "stuff" that big burdened corporations won't touch, but the market would be more than willing to gobble up.

They aren't really "family guy jokes." Many of them are "I'm going to hell for saying this" jokes. Things that network television cannot air.
I won't even repeat many of them here for fear of getting shadow banned.

It's Apple to Apples except all the cards are hilarious (and yes, obscenely vulgar), rather than just [random boring pop culture reference].

#15I gave CAH (and expansion packs) as stocking stuffers for xmas and they were extremely well received. What they say on the tin is true -- you feel like a horrible person when you play the game, which is extremely cathartic. Hell, they even did a pay what you want for a small package of Christmas themed cards and pretty sure they pulled a 70k profit from that maneuver, despite ~25% percent paying $0. Their average cre…
Yeah, processing credit cards is an absolute pain for vendors. American Express are probably the worst for vendors.
I'm an American Express cardholder and spend several hundred thousand dollars a year. If you're a small business, startup, someone I like, whatever, I go out of my way to pay you money with Dwolla or a debit card because of the fees. I'll even overnight a check if its a significant amount and I trust you.

#16This is awesome, but not creating a corporate structure at all and just letting who does and gets what go organically is a really bad idea. It's nice that it's worked for them so far, but if they continue to succeed -- and I hope they do, I love what they've done -- they're very likely to find out that money does matter and does change things.

Similar, but you're matching words into phrases rather than adjectives with nouns.

Yeah, basically toilet humor. Granted, a lot of it is funny, but it's the non-family-friendly version (not that Apples to Apples is all that family-friendly once my family starts playing, and I'm sure that's the same with many others, but at least it has the potential to avoid offending most people's delicate sensibilities).
This is the juvenile dorm room version (which makes sense, as that's what they created it for in the first place).

Heh, plenty of businesses will touch this kind of stuff. Just walk through a novelty store at the mall like Spencers...

#20Whatever replaces VC-istan and generates the next wave of great businesses is going to be built by guys like this.
Also, it'll probably happen in the Midwest. Chicago, Austin, Madison, and Minneapolis are among the cities to watch.
