8 nerds launch a $12M card game biz

[cashflow3000]

Check out this article about Cards Against Humanity, worth a look.

"At $25 per copy, the original game has likely generated at least $12 million in revenue since 2011 (the company won’t give sales figures). Industry experts estimate the game costs less than $10 to make, sell and distribute....The Chicago-based company behind Cards hasn’t spent a dime on marketing and has no full-time employees."
