Ugly 100 share paint at .068. It ruins the chart. Wow... Not helpful, cause it is not going to hold.
Whoever did that is not helping themselves.
New Tweet. Make sure to "like" it longs, they might do a video on it, etc:

If the CEO isn’t posting the entertainment will be over and this board will eventually be dead again... and it’s not like he’s going to generate any strong/consistent news with these products. He’s not going to land any retailers.
I bet he defies his legal counsel. lol... Should we start a pool for how long he can resist?
If anyone thinks its exciting to see these Kickstarter backers reviewing the product positively, they are gonna LOVE seeing the products on the shelves + reviews all over the internet.
Remember, it took almost 2 years for these Kickstarter backers to get their product and they were REALLY pissed about it, per many comments online. Then FUNN/Snakes (the hero) stepped in and saved Morning + the backers from a total loss... These backers have EVERY REASON TO BE UPSET, but now they are giving this game great reviews???
If these board game Geeks/Gurus think the game is great, what will the future buyers think about the game when they have no negative history with it?
This is simple DD, but i dont think many are comprehending how massive of a clue it is. We pretty much already know that the game will be liked and have a chance to load before the rest of the market figures it out... Hot titles are doing $50+ million in the first year and this is going to drive speculation.
Snakes will be pushing this high margin self published title to thousands of customers per week (maybe each day), which means they will learn it easily and have a chance to buy before they leave, possibly with a promotion...
... and future investors that buy a game will likely enjoy it, driving their speculation...
We will see all time highs long before we see $5+ million revs from these games imo. Speculation is what drives the penny market, actual results are a bonus

Really, you dont think Snakes knows which games do well and which ones do not? Most publishers are nothing more than a game, Snakes is game cafe FIRST, which is the ultimate advantage. none of the these competitors have first hand experience with consumer demand/interest like this, which is why some of them turn to Snakes to get known. lol
Toronto is the 4th largest City in North America and guess who is the Big Dog with THOUSANDS of customers per WEEK, maybe per DAY? This game could go viral, using Toronto as a launching pad
Roger has made mistakes, i have no problem pointing that out, but lets not confuse the highly skilled people working at Snakes (250 employees) with his mistakes. You dont land Walmart before the game is even produced unless you can SELL... and SALES IS EVERYTHING!
1000's of customers per day can become thousands of strong reviews all over the internet, thanks to learning the game EASILY within these Snakes locations.... and so far most, if not all the KS reviews have been positive, even though these customers were upset over how long it took them to get it. If THESE customers are liking the game, when they have every reason to be pissed, it says A LOT!.
We will sell a ton just because of the theme imo. The hardest part is getting on the shelf of the largest retailers (check!). No doubt it will get picked up/spotted by MANY people now, due to millions of people walking by the packaging/theme

They are in the perfect position to push this game into retailers, then get it known by thousands of people per week.
Any day now the biggest PR in company history will be released. If anybody has held this long it would be unsavvy to sell now, at these levels. Walmart is going to drive a significant wave of hype. When we can all walk in and see a self published title on the shelves, across the USA, it will change the way people view this company. Right now Snakes only distributes games in Canada and none of them are a high margin self published title
This will be the first game that we can sell worldwide... and two more titles are coming up right behind it

I FULLY expect this game to make FUNN extremely NET profitable, even with just moderate sales. They are close to breakeven now imo
I just hope Roger does more to paint this picture for the maket, so we can sustain over inflated levels (like other rapid growth stocks), instead of at the bottom of the valuation range.

Walmart will sell out of the first order FAST imo. I bet single longs clear out locations, forcing an instant reorder. lol

(repost) There's an initial risk in printing these games and not selling them, but this risk is reduced significantly when you are a MASTER DISTRIBUTOR of many other hot titles.
Its harder for a small publisher to approach a company like Walmart, with no sales history or other products, which can be worked into the deal to get it done... this is why publishers seek out distributors/sales rep to move their games, which Snakes already is...
... and distributors carry MANY titles, often thousands of different games... just because you land a distributor, does not mean they will put PRIORITY in pushing your titles to the retailers. The reps will have many other titles/toys/SKUs that are making THEM money and they focus on those. You can only talk about so many games in a session.
This is where the synergy of being a publisher, master distributor AND Game Cafe (free/profitable marketing) all tie into each other... Snakes can put priority on their OWN games and push them into Walmart, Target, etc increasing volume fast.
Snakes already has sales history with Walmart.... and the largest Canadian book chain (Chapters)... and other big Canadian retailers that sell games. Snakes is on pace to OWN Canadas gaming market. Look at how many Kickstarter publishers choose Snakes now.
I love synergistic business concepts!
_______________
(repost) Morning is a creative think tank/publisher. This is why its such a powerful acquisition for this particular company. Snakes fills in everything else they need to get these products into the hands of the masses.
Snakes even offers them a place they can play test their games with a very experienced/large gaming staff + real world customers. IMO there will be no weak games in the future. Their titles will grow in strength as Steve starts adding his EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED input on game mechanics, rule alterations, how to write precise/easy instructions, etc. Steve is a grand master at this stuff, watch his videos, listen to the podcasts, read his articles, etc. He trains all the other staff on HOW to teach games and even edits rules to make them easier for customers to learn. He is a major asset alone, esp when combined with a game publisher.
___________________
(repost) How many publishers have distribution and game cafes?
There are a lot of GREAT games that never get noticed. EVERYTHING is about getting noticed nowadays... Weak games can sell $XX,XXX,XXX just because it was in the store, not because it was good. A customer only needs to buy ONCE
... and is there any better place to get noticed than Game Cafes, with Game Gurus that can direct customers to play the titles they want?
Many customers rely on the Gurus to recommend games and teach them... and if people EASILY learn a game and enjoy it, the odd increase that they will buy a copy before leaving Snakes, or the next time they see it at Walmart and think "Hey, that was a fun game! My nephew would love to play this with me".. Either way we make $$$
__________________
(repost) All snakes has to do is advertise that all or part of the $8 cover can be applied to one of Mornings games , if they buy before leaving... and this is off the FULL retail price, which means they would still collect more than if they sold at wholesale
This would not only get people interested in TRYING the games while in Snakes, it would also drive per location sales. Snakes cuts out the middleman, so they would STILL make a strong profit per copy at a sexy discount price...
... and most of these customers that buy one of these copies will take it home and play with others, because most games cant be played alone. This markets the game to additional people, who then might buy a copy when they see it at the store, on Amazon, etc.
This is why the sector is booming right now. People want to do things that are more social, away from their digital devices. This viral sales process is powerful and can push a game from nothing to $10's of millions, in just months.
... and all we need is ONE of these titles to be big... or all of them to do moderately well...
______________
As ive been saying for months, the current revenues, net profits, etc are nothing compared to whats coming from their self publishing division, alone
No need to overthink it, just do the simple DD. They are going to push these titles hard and no other aspect of the biz will have higher margins.
AMFE could have ZERO revenue right now and a SINGLE game could make this a fairly valued $XXX,XXX,XXX company. The growth potential is not only massive, it can happen FAST.
_______________
The Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations have been hosting game designer nights for quite some time now and with being so deeply entrenched in the table top gaming community, it has begged the question internally for many months now as to when the company will begin entering the game publishing arena and bring new titles to market in-house. Snakes & Lattes is currently positioned to manage all stages of new projects beginning from inception to product launch, and will use its current resources for research and development, product testing, marketing, and of course sales and worldwide distribution. This move would bring a far greater ROI when compared to the ROI on the current game titles that we stock and distribute, essentially 'cutting out the middleman' and allowing us to stock and distribute larger volumes and further expand into additional markets internationally.
The current costs associated with stocking game inventory is comparable to the costs to print and manufacture our own game titles, which would not only provide larger volumes for the same price, but also immediate worldwide exclusive distribution rights. We will use our retail locations as 'proving grounds' for new game titles prior to publishing in order to determine which titles will generate the highest demand. This will of course be in addition to maintaining and growing our current sheet of exclusive distributorships from other popular game producers.
The company is currently working on acquiring the rights to publish our first game to kick-off our publishing division. The first game under this initiative is currently in the works and will be developed in conjunction with an experienced game author based in Switzerland. The specifics of the game are still a closely guarded secret so no further details relating to the game will be released at this time to protect the intellectual property. We will provide further details relating to the project when appropriate to do so, likely coinciding with the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto this August, where Snakes & Lattes will be hosting a board game café and retail store in partnership with CAH and other major publishers.
Capturing world-wide distribution as well as maximum margins from production to sale leaves the company better positioned to expand all aspects of the business, and significantly increase the rate at which retail store and gaming café locations are opened. With the new Midtown Toronto location being the third and largest location, set to open this summer and boasting an impressive 2 stories, 55 tables inside and 5 tables out on the patio all the while accommodating up to 340 customers, the company has its eyes set on the immediate expansion across Canada and the United States.
The newly formed publishing division in addition to the successful retail and distribution divisions, is expected to significantly increase profitability at a minimal start-up cost by utilizing the company's existing assets, resources, and market reach. In terms of the company's expansion, this is the most cost effective and logical step towards the company's intent on complete market domination by continuing to execute on its successful business model which has been proven year over year.

Pic of the playtesting arena for Unicorns: This is where most of the positive online reviews were derived...
This was at a trade show. The game is tested and enjoyed... IMO this game should spike revs/profits fast...
Looks like 3 tables were for IKAN, which is another title that is close to print...

Exploding kittens did $50+ million in the first year, mostly in the USA... They later expanded out of the USA and Snakes/FUNN landed exclusivity for Canada.
(repost)Cards Against Humanity DD: AMFE is the "exclusive" distributor in Canada, including all sales through Amazon
Most people that buy at Amazon do not leave reviews and there are 33,000 of them and 5 stars for the USA site... and this does not include the Walmarts, hobby stores, etc that also move copies... EVERYONE that buys a copy in Canada stuffs money into AMFEs coffers, even if they buy from a competing big box store, hobby shop, etc...
... and there are expansion packs coming out all of the time, which many of these customer all jump on = more $$$

-----------------
From the PR...
Snakes & Lattes has also secured exclusive distribution rights throughout Canada for Exploding Kittens LLC, which was one the single most successful game on the Kickstarter platform, and the third highest grossing venture in the platform's history. It has also secured exclusive distribution rights throughout Canada for Cards Against Humanity, which has quickly become one of the most popular party games to date. Further, Snakes & Lattes is in discussions to become the exclusive distributor for Watch Ya Mouth, a major release title of 2016. To facilitate the shipping and sales growth of these exclusive distributorships, inventory in the warehouse was recently increased to accommodate the demand. Snakes & Lattes has also set up a new partnership with FedEx in order to streamline logistical processes, improve efficiency and decrease costs, while increasing and improving reach to customers throughout Canada and the United States.
______________
(CNBC video) 'Exploding Kittens' Card Game Blows Up Into A Fortune | Strange Success
Snakes has locked down exclusivity for this game in Canada. It only did $50,000,000 in the 1st year, in the USA... Fun table games are ageless, unlike video games which are constantly being surpassed. It will be an AMFE cash cow for many years...
FYI, this was not even the best selling title that year...
(reposts) App opinions/DD: A master plan to DOMINATE the sector... Read all of this and tell me im wrong...
Id like to see a Snakes App... A way to connect single gamers would be cool, with a rating system based on if people show up when they say (reliability).
If someone flakes too much, without letting the other players know in advance, they lose their ability to use the connection service. Serious gamers would love it
It could also be a dating service.... Not only can they hook singles up, they give them something to do on their first date that is fun/less awkward.
______________
The App can offer promotions to get people back in the locations, retail game sales, game tutorial videos (if Gurus are busy, see the App!), free game giveaways (new and used copies), contests... There is so much this specific business can do with an App.
Encourage each customer that comes to Snakes to downoad it then and there. Let them know they can use it to get an instant cover charge discount, etc
With thousands of people coming to Snakes each DAY, the amount of people you can send alerts increases FAST.
Then they can start charging publishers for marketing, promos, etc... Game creators will want to give Snakes distribution exclusivity just to get the marketing perks.
____________
I bet you if they handed out games daily, they will have more people using the app than the amount of people that actually go to Snakes.
I bet they would have thousands of people in each and every state that download the app, which builds the brand before a Snakes location even opens in their town... focusing their marketing efforts on free game giveaways will make them the talk of the entire table gaming sector. Gamers will know about snakes even if they never been to a location. They will see their friends mention it on social media, often.
If I were them i would start developing an app ASAP, before someone else does. At least get the basic structure created. It’s a no brainer.
_______________
Snakes has thousands of SKUs on their retail website, which can generate a lot of $$$ via an app with promotional alerts. This aspect alone makes an app viable right now. The sales can pay for it.
If they were not a distributor/retailer, i would agree, but there is massive growth potential with board games being so hot.
Snakes can beat Amazon prices on many titles that they are the EXCLUSIVE distributor for. This is a significant aspect and should be leveraged into a loyal retail customer base of active gamers.... Snakes still makes money when Amazon sells these titles, but they wont have to pay Amazon per unit.
Also, they can get all the Kickstarter backers to download it, so they can track their order status, etc. I bet the App would be on hundreds of thousands of phones after one year... It wont even cost them much to market it. They can use their gurus, bartenders, servers, website, kickstarter backers, social media and even mention it on future prints of self published titles. None of these cost much money.
I bet millions can be made from an effective use an App. Who does not have a smart phone in their pocket nowadays? Offer all kinds of promotions and free game giveaways throughout the week, BUT ONLY IF THEY LEAVE THEIR PHONE ALERTS ON. You have to act fast to get it!... This could drive serious growth.
Just start the App simple. Use it as an interface for the already created ecommerce database, then start adding new tabs/features each month. They already have this stuff: https://www.snakesandlattes.com/
______________
Many companies this size spend $XXX,XXX per year to market
Instead of paying mass amounts of money for marketing that is only slightly effective, they can give away $100,000 per year in games that they get at master distributor prices, which is lower than the mass retailers can buy games for... The consumer sees it as getting a $30 game, but snakes is paying less than half that on some titles. They could give out over 5000 games in a year and it won’t even cost them much. That’s almost 15 games per day!... Everyone would have this freakin app on their phone, with alerts turned on! lol
Tell people if they mention the app on social media, they get entered into an even bigger and better drawing. This would influence thousands of people to start spamming the app to millions of others.
Can you see how massive this could get for a company in this strategic position?
__________________
There are several penny stocks that have developed multiple apps, but the premise for their Apps suck, unlike Snakes.
All AMFE has to do is contact a few of these small companies and tell them to put a proposal together. They can even offer them commission on App retail sales to really push their enthusiasm and keep initial costs low. Do it as a "joint venture" so they can pump their stock a bit AND bring their investors eyes our way as well. Everybody wins!
I bet a micro cap developer would jump at the chance to be associated with Snakes... None of the tickers come to mind at the moment, but i have seen some in the past that created some very detailed and attractive apps.
PS: They might just take a million shares to do it. Worth it?
___________________
The easiest Apps to monetize are the ones that already have a large customer base. All you are doing is giving people a new way to interact with your business.
Everyday your following will grow, just by placing a little advertisement on each table telling people to download the app to receive an instant use coupon
______________
Apps have become like websites. Many people have learned how to build them as a hobby. This is driving down development costs.... having an App is no different than a website, it’s just a different interface accessing the same information
On top of there being so many app developers hurting for work, willing to take less to get involved in a big long term project, you also have thousands of great App examples out there now to copy. The basic format for a solid e-commerce/informational app has already been created many times. All they need to do is copy the basic structure. This makes it easy, along with having all the e-commerce stuff already available.
The hardest part to building an app isn’t actually the app, it’s the content... and snakes has tons of content that’s not being utilized to its full potential... I was just on the Guitar Center App and picturing how their formats can be used for Snakes & Lattes. I but there are many companies that have app templates, you just need to add the content. It can likely be created in under 3 months
Also, there are many small dating apps. Hundreds of them... In the future they could possibly do a joint venture with the small dating app company to get the whole matchmaking aspect rolling. For both gamer matchmaking + dating... I would work on this aspect last though. Just getting the e-commerce going, all the instruction videos on the app and promotions would be a great start. That’s really all you need for a great app, everything else is bonus... The promotional aspect is key, because you can use it to keep people coming back to the app. This will help ensure that the project costs are being covered with growth.
Maybe they can do a joint marketing deal with another website for some gaming news, etc. They know many of them.
_______________
Yep, the Dominos Pizza app was the biggest thing they did in decades.
If a company has a use for an app, they are crazy not to have one. It’s like not having a website.
Apps are easier to grab customers attention than websites, specially if you can create a promotional structure that influences them to leave their real time Alerts on. You can remind them about Snakes & Lattes throughout the week.
For example, right before people get off work you can remind them that happy hour will be starting and what type of promotional food items you will be serving. You can also mention that happy hour attendees will be Instantly entered into a drawing just by being there.
I also like the marketing aspect. Many of the small game developers create promo videos to pitch their new games. Snakes can charge the developer for the marketing, then place the video on their app and tell their customers that if they watch the video they will be entered into a drawing for a free copy... Then hand out MANY copies, so people tell all their friends that they won the game through the Snakes app. This will get even more people downloading the app.
I bet you anything if snakes gave away $100,000 worth of games (at wholesale prices) over the course of a year, their App would go viral and it will be a massive success for this company. Gamers will go freaking nutso over Games being given out daily. They will BRAG about winning on the message boards and social media
Like i said, they can give out about 15 games per day and it will cost about $100,000 per year... This is a powerful form of marketing for a company of this type. Better than any magazine, etc... this is how modern/hip companies keep their customers engaged
____________
I believe they can easily increase each locations revs in the future...
As they gain more locations, they are going to become the MOST powerful marketing force in the rapidly growing board game sector imo.
There are other game cafes but they are all mom and pop, they dont have the same marketing appeal... With Snakes a marketing plan can be created at the corporate level and each location can be directed to put up posters, add themed items to the food/drink menu, marketing displays near the entrance, Gurus told to push a specific title, etc.
Snakes locations can recommend, teach and market a title to thousands of customers EACH DAY in the future... and its the BEST kind of marketing. People that enjoy themselves playing a new game, which they were EASILY just taught, are more likely to buy it on the way out the door... esp if Snakes allows all or part of a customers cover charge to be applied to the retail cost.
With Tempe they might already be averaging 1000+ customers each day... and marketing to 1000 customers PER DAY in Snakes is likely more effective than selling a magazine to 1,000,000 subscribers, even if the advertisement is on the cover. A magazine cant sell a unit then and there.
LOL... Lots of DD to catch up with here. Good time to find this stock with the biggest and most profitable events coming...
Theres only been about 25 million dilution in 2+ years, 2 new locations are coming bringing the total to 6 (50% increase) and Walmart is prepared to stock their first HIGH MARGIN publishing title... Multi billion dollar dining/entertainment concept here, just like so many other BORING chains with a fraction of the potential... How many restaurants can charge an $8 cover per seat in a 10,000 square foot location and pack every table, at 4 locations, consistently?

Its harder for a small publisher to approach a company like Walmart, with no sales history or other products, which can be worked into the deal to get it done... this is why publishers seek out distributors/sales rep to move their games, which Snakes already is...
... and distributors carry MANY titles, often thousands of different games... just because you land a distributor, does not mean they will put PRIORITY in pushing your titles to the retailers. The reps will have many other titles/toys/SKUs that are making THEM money and they focus on those. You can only talk about so many games in a session.
This is where the synergy of being a publisher, master distributor AND Game Cafe (free/profitable marketing) all tie into each other... Snakes can put priority on their OWN games and push them into Walmart, Target, etc increasing volume fast.
Snakes already has sales history with Walmart.... and the largest Canadian book chain (Chapters)... and other big Canadian retailers that sell games. Snakes is on pace to OWN Canadas gaming market. Look at how many Kickstarter publishers choose Snakes now.
I love synergistic business concepts!

(repost) Morning is a creative think tank/publisher. This is why its such a powerful acquisition for this particular company. Snakes fills in everything else they need to get these products into the hands of the masses.
Snakes even offers them a place they can play test their games with a very experienced/large gaming staff + real world customers. IMO there will be no weak games in the future. Their titles will grow in strength as Steve starts adding his EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED input on game mechanics, rule alterations, how to write precise/easy instructions, etc. Steve is a grand master at this stuff, watch his videos, listen to the podcasts, read his articles, etc. He trains all the other staff on HOW to teach games and even edits rules to make them easier for customers to learn. He is a major asset alone, esp when combined with a game publisher.

(repost) How many publishers have distribution and game cafes?
There are a lot of GREAT games that never get noticed. EVERYTHING is about getting noticed nowadays... Weak games can sell $XX,XXX,XXX just because it was in the store, not because it was good. A customer only needs to buy ONCE
... and is there any better place to get noticed than Game Cafes, with Game Gurus that can direct customers to play the titles they want?
Many customers rely on the Gurus to recommend games and teach them... and if people EASILY learn a game and enjoy it, the odd increase that they will buy a copy before leaving Snakes, or the next time they see it at Walmart and think "Hey, that was a fun game! My nephew would love to play this with me".. Either way we make $$$
__________________
(repost) All snakes has to do is advertise that all or part of the $8 cover can be applied to one of Mornings games , if they buy before leaving... and this is off the FULL retail price, which means they would still collect more than if they sold at wholesale
This would not only get people interested in TRYING the games while in Snakes, it would also drive per location sales. Snakes cuts out the middleman, so they would STILL make a strong profit per copy at a sexy discount price...
... and most of these customers that buy one of these copies will take it home and play with others, because most games cant be played alone. This markets the game to additional people, who then might buy a copy when they see it at the store, on Amazon, etc.
This is why the sector is booming right now. People want to do things that are more social, away from their digital devices. This viral sales process is powerful and can push a game from nothing to $10's of millions, in just months.
... and all we need is ONE of these titles to be big... or all of them to do moderately well...
______________
As ive been saying for months, the current revenues, net profits, etc are nothing compared to whats coming from their self publishing division, alone
No need to overthink it, just do the simple DD. They are going to push these titles hard and no other aspect of the biz will have higher margins.
AMFE could have ZERO revenue right now and a SINGLE game could make this a fairly valued $XXX,XXX,XXX company. The growth potential is not only massive, it can happen FAST.
_______________
The Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations have been hosting game designer nights for quite some time now and with being so deeply entrenched in the table top gaming community, it has begged the question internally for many months now as to when the company will begin entering the game publishing arena and bring new titles to market in-house. Snakes & Lattes is currently positioned to manage all stages of new projects beginning from inception to product launch, and will use its current resources for research and development, product testing, marketing, and of course sales and worldwide distribution. This move would bring a far greater ROI when compared to the ROI on the current game titles that we stock and distribute, essentially 'cutting out the middleman' and allowing us to stock and distribute larger volumes and further expand into additional markets internationally.
The current costs associated with stocking game inventory is comparable to the costs to print and manufacture our own game titles, which would not only provide larger volumes for the same price, but also immediate worldwide exclusive distribution rights. We will use our retail locations as 'proving grounds' for new game titles prior to publishing in order to determine which titles will generate the highest demand. This will of course be in addition to maintaining and growing our current sheet of exclusive distributorships from other popular game producers.
The company is currently working on acquiring the rights to publish our first game to kick-off our publishing division. The first game under this initiative is currently in the works and will be developed in conjunction with an experienced game author based in Switzerland. The specifics of the game are still a closely guarded secret so no further details relating to the game will be released at this time to protect the intellectual property. We will provide further details relating to the project when appropriate to do so, likely coinciding with the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto this August, where Snakes & Lattes will be hosting a board game café and retail store in partnership with CAH and other major publishers.
Capturing world-wide distribution as well as maximum margins from production to sale leaves the company better positioned to expand all aspects of the business, and significantly increase the rate at which retail store and gaming café locations are opened. With the new Midtown Toronto location being the third and largest location, set to open this summer and boasting an impressive 2 stories, 55 tables inside and 5 tables out on the patio all the while accommodating up to 340 customers, the company has its eyes set on the immediate expansion across Canada and the United States.
The newly formed publishing division in addition to the successful retail and distribution divisions, is expected to significantly increase profitability at a minimal start-up cost by utilizing the company's existing assets, resources, and market reach. In terms of the company's expansion, this is the most cost effective and logical step towards the company's intent on complete market domination by continuing to execute on its successful business model which has been proven year over year.

Pic of the playtesting arena for Unicorns: This is where most of the positive online reviews were derived...
This was at a trade show. The game is tested and enjoyed... IMO this game should spike revs/profits fast...
Looks like 3 tables were for IKAN, which is another title that is close to print...
Snakes DD (some)
Snakes & Lattes segments: There are so many aspects to the Snakes sub, it blows my mind to think of all the different ways they could rapidly add to the bottom line... along with synergies between these segments...
Cafe/bar/restaurant: They can satisfy the morning to night crowds. Something for everyone... and they're able to charge a, $8 cover and still pack every table in these large locations.
Game retailer: Snakes sells games in each location + online. This revenue source has a higher margin than any other game retailer, because Snakes buys their inventory below wholesale (master distributor)
Event planning: For parties, corporate events, etc supplying food, games and Gaming Gurus... Location #3 (Midtown has a catering size kitchen which will allow them to expand this rapidly growing segment of the biz.
Marketing: Snakes can charge publishers to launch their game in style. Snakes can provide Gurus that push and teach these games. Along with marketing decor, themed cocktails/pastries/etc, drawings, sales displays, online videos, etc.
Publishing: Several games are about to launch under this new division and since they cut out the middleman, it will likely be the highest margin aspect of the biz + the fastest growing.
Fulfillment: Snakes is a fulfillment partner for smaller game designers. They ship individual Kickstarter orders out to Canadian Backers... FYI, gaming is the #1 most funded section on the Kickstarter site, ahead of Tech at #2. As Snakes locations expand into the USA, i expect their Fulfillment contracts to expand there as well
Master Distribution: Snakes is a master distributor for exclusive and non exclusive game titles. Along with several new products added through the Natural Stuff Inc acquisition. They sell to Walmart, Chapters, Amazon + anywhere that carries the hottest games.
Franchising: Big potential for this segment. Many people want their own location. Snakes would do well in any big city.
What am i missing?
_____________________________
Snakes Workforce Photo: This is not a 2 person penny stock pretending to be bigger than they really are. Amfil has the workforce to handle whats coming...
_____________________________
Publishing: A single self publishing deal could double annual revs by itself, with very strong margins... IMO Snakes has extremely high odds of hitting a winner on their first deal. They have game designers on their staff that study EVERY game on the market and make video/podcasts about them online... Plus, they know which types of games sell via the observations from thousands of customers that come to Snakes.
In their videos/podcasts they critique everything from the gameplay/dynamics to the artwork... They KNOW their stuff and are in the perfect situation to select great titles.
A single red hot game can match the revs of a dozen Snakes locations... and it will be the highest margin deal Snakes will make, since they cut out the middleman and have exclusivity from day 1, worldwide
This is one of the least discussed topics, but possibly the biggest thing they have going... They could drop several hot titles on the market and make 9 figures having exclusivity worldwide.
#lifechanger
________________
Snakes in the perfect position to push a game and get it KNOWN...
4 friends walk into Snakes. The Game Guru talks them into trying the new self published title. Guru quickly teaches game to table, which gets them playing faster, with little hassle... 1 of 4 players sees the title at a promotional price while leaving and since they just learned it and had a great time playing, she decides to take one home. Just so she can beat her boyfriend one more time!
3 weeks later a different group of friends are at her house and she pulls out the game... 4 new people quickly learn how to play from her mimicking the Game Guru... 1 of these players sees game at Walmart, remembers how much fun he had and decide to buy a copy...
... he takes game home, plays with kids... Kid pulls out game when friends are over...
THIS "viral" sales flow is why table gaming is growing so fast imo. The masses are HUNGRY for human interaction, away from digitial devices...
... and what better place to spread the virus, than a Game Cafe? The Game Gurus are practically injecting it into them!
________________
The odds of Snakes hitting a big game are strong... Any company can create a game, but most fail because they only have one option (their own game). Snakes is in position to CHOOSE games because people want to get in bed with a solid distributor and marketing vehicle like Snakes. A deal with Snakes helps ensure the game will get noticed and sold. Its big risk investing time and money into something that never gets discovered
The Gurus can PUSH games onto customers... "hey try this new game. Its easy to learn, ill teach it to you." Boom, groups of people being taught, every day...
... then these customers see the game in a nice marketing display + a discount, on the way out the door... and because they just learned it and had a great time playing, one or more of them pick up a copy and take it home, playing with family/friends (free marketing).
They are in the PERFECT situation to choose a solid title and sell it to the masses, in every aspect
This will lead to sector domination imo

Warehouse Pics: This is what $5,000,000+ million in game inventory looks like...
Heres a hashtag block that people can cut/paste into Tweets... I highly recommend that longs help their investment and be proactive on Twitter with at least some of these...
The #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming, etc tags help the rest of the Tweet get into a bigger pool of viewers. These are heavily used on Twitter... Some of these tags are new, but we can build them into something using the other hashtags, which is why its important to use a good mix of tags...
$FUNN #snakesandlattes #boardgamecafe #killtheunicorns #KTU #redpanda #IKAN #MorningPlays #tucsoncomiccon #unicorns #spiel19 #cardgame #pigicorn #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #FUNNSavedTheUnicornsBeforeTheyKilledThem
The #FUNNSavedTheUnicornsBeforeTheyKilledThem can be left out, i just thought it was FUNN. lol
If anyone thinks its exciting to see these Kickstarter backers reviewing the product positively, they are gonna LOVE seeing the products on the shelves + reviews all over the internet.
Remember, it took almost 2 years for these Kickstarter backers to get their product and they were REALLY pissed about it, per many comments online. Then FUNN/Snakes (the hero) stepped in and saved Morning + the backers from a total loss... These backers have EVERY REASON TO BE UPSET, but now they are giving this game great reviews???
If these board game Geeks/Gurus think the game is great, what will the future buyers think about the game when they have no negative history with it?
This is simple DD, but i dont think many are comprehending how massive of a clue it is. We pretty much already know that the game will be liked and have a chance to load before the rest of the market figures it out... Hot titles are doing $50+ million in the first year and this is going to drive speculation.
Snakes will be pushing this high margin self published title to thousands of customers per week (maybe each day), which means they will learn it easily and have a chance to buy before they leave, possibly with a promotion...
... and future investors that buy a game will likely enjoy it, driving their speculation...
We will see all time highs long before we see $5+ million revs from these games imo. Speculation is what drives the penny market, actual results are a bonus

Seeing is believing: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kill-the-Unicorns-An-Enchanted-Card-Game-For-Evil-Geniuses-Exclusively-Sold-on-Walmart-com/548174258
Another FUNN game that’s about to hit the largest retailer: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Red-Panda-Card-Game-Exclusively-Sold-on-Walmart-com/979543007
Very soon the first deliveries will reach the stores and this stock is going to launch off these levels, from the biggest PR/event in company history...
Remember, all the previous distribution deals were limited to just Canada, a country 1/10 the size of the USA... and none of those deals had margins this high, because they were just distribution deals for other companies, not their own titles. This release is a #gamechanger
____________
Really, you dont think Snakes knows which games do well and which ones do not? Most publishers are nothing more than a game, Snakes is game cafe FIRST, which is the ultimate advantage. none of the these competitors have first hand experience with consumer demand/interest like this, which is why some of them turn to Snakes to get known. lol
Toronto is the 4th largest City in North America and guess who is the Big Dog with THOUSANDS of customers per WEEK, maybe per DAY? This game could go viral, using Toronto as a launching pad
Roger has made mistakes, i have no problem pointing that out, but lets not confuse the highly skilled people working at Snakes (250 employees) with his mistakes. You dont land Walmart before the game is even produced unless you can SELL... and SALES IS EVERYTHING!
1000's of customers per day can become thousands of strong reviews all over the internet, thanks to learning the game EASILY within these Snakes locations.... and so far most, if not all the KS reviews have been positive, even though these customers were upset over how long it took them to get it. If THESE customers are liking the game, when they have every reason to be pissed, it says A LOT!.
We will sell a ton just because of the theme imo. The hardest part is getting on the shelf of the largest retailers (check!). No doubt it will get picked up/spotted by MANY people now, due to millions of people walking by the packaging/theme
More DD: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151611247

This cap is getting really cheap imo, the single-game can make this an $XXX,XXX,XXX stock.
They are in the perfect position to push this game into retailers, then get it known by thousands of people per week.
Any day now the biggest PR in company history will be released. If anybody has held this long it would be unsavvy to sell now, at these levels. Walmart is going to drive a significant wave of hype. When we can all walk in and see a self published title on the shelves, across the USA, it will change the way people view this company. Right now Snakes only distributes games in Canada and none of them are a high margin self published title
This will be the first game that we can sell worldwide... and two more titles are coming up right behind it
#gamechanger
______________
Morning does not need to update anyone on the shipments anymore, because the backers have already received their orders.
Morning is not in charge of corporate info, other than what directly relates to Kickstarter. KS backers have nothing to do with Walmart, etc... The next update will be from FUNN and will likely announce the rollout to Wally, Amazon, etc
I expect several big name retailers to be announced in the coming months, all over the world
This next shipment might be drop-shipped at Walmart.
_____________
BTW, FUNN will see $$$ from these titles for years. Dont put too much focus on having to have the game out by a certain date, these games sell alllll year... and when you can market to THOUSANDS of people PER DAY via your locations, they are in a great position to succeed.
I FULLY expect this game to make FUNN extremely NET profitable, even with just moderate sales. They are close to breakeven now imo
I just hope Roger does more to paint this picture for the maket, so we can sustain over inflated levels (like other rapid growth stocks), instead of at the bottom of the valuation range.
____________
If people have held this long, they would be wise to at least wait until this board is full of KTU pictures, on the shelves of the LARGEST retailer, who controls 50%+ of the toy market = very busy toy/game isles!
Millions of people will be walking by our title... CRAP titles can sell well with this level of foot traffic and KTU has a popular theme + attractive/attention grabbing packaging, within the right impulse price range
Walmart will sell out of the first order FAST imo. I bet single longs clear out locations, forcing an instant reorder. lol
This stock will be flying on the reorder PR. Speculation could reach record levels... tick tock...

It dont matter, this is a POS shell that isn't worth $100,000. Most every failed ticker has a lot, it is not a good basis to buy or get in bed with a DIRTY shell, ran by a madman.
Good luck. Hope buyers are prepared to be in a loooong term investment... This ticker wont generate much more news/interest. Traders are moving on, hence the Bid getting whacked every time it increases now.

We’re going to sell a lot of freakin units... Its starting to become obvious why snakes purchased Morning when they did. Snakes staff was smart enough and experienced enough to know this was going to be a hit long before the finished product was created...
IMO we’re going to sell a lot of units just because of the art, along with being a popular theme, having awesome packaging inside and out, etc. These are major aspects to the gaming geeks, who are the people that put all the reviews online.
Many great reviews, lead to strong sales. Expect the Amazon reviews to fill up fast, which will just pump up the excitement for the stock
Id be surprised if we don’t sell $10s of millions. No other publisher is in the position that Snakes is. We will have no problem getting this POPULAR artwork noticed with thousands of customers coming into Snakes locations per week.
Its becoming more obvious that this is the last of these price levels. Get em soon if you want in before a $XXX,XXX,XXX cap
I should not have to "look for it" when reading a 10K. It should be included. You mentioned you were buying stock, then left out ALL the details... this is WHY 10Ks exist! They provide the DETAILS/FACTS in a single document, for the entire year + some history + subsequent events.
You also mentioned Hunter Venture, which is not in the 10K. Why?
You've screwed up Patrick. Better hope you fly under the SECs view. The filings, all these crazy posts, drones flying weed around town, selling relabeled CBD on the street, etc. Its amusing!... but ill watch from the sidelines.
It has the makings of a great movie or reality series! Would you mind a camera crew following you around? hmmmm, what would be a good title? How about...
From Stairway to Heaven, to...
They why is the phase "Hunter Venture" not located in any part of the 10K?! I just searched the entire document: https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=13145377&guid=za4SUpluZf1hJZh
KNOWINGLY providing inaccurate data could you in trouble and lose the investors money, right? Its kind of an important aspect. More important than the short BS, which i dont think should be in a 10K. lol...
BTW, how are you "buying back stock" with so little free cash? How did the float increase from "less than 5,000,000", which is what you claim in the 10K?
Too many INCONSISTENT CLAIMS and not enough details dude. Do you think this "10k" meets the MIMINUM reporting requirements?

The float is revised and estimated at less than 5,000,000 shares.

They don’t do any mining, although they considered it at one time. They do hold an assortment of crypto‘s because they have a trading app and sell bundles of crypto’s, making it easy for people to get involved
Think of them like a team of Crypto/Blockchain professionals/geeks. People contact them to design crypyo/blockchain/Artificial Intelligence/Augmented Reality systems from the ground up... They are involved in several different projects and some of them have strong potential.
In the future many companies are going to want some type of CUSTOM system that deals with these sectors, from big to small... and there’s really not many companies they can turn to, at least yet. This company is positioned to grow with the sector.
The consulting/engineering segment of these sectors is much less volatile than mining as well... Crypto stocks boom and bust with the price of bitcoin, while this company saw strong growth during the sub $5000 crypto levels... they grew from nothing to $1,000,000+ revs and have not diluted in 1.5 years. The last money they raised was when the stock price was .35+. People invested millions
There are not many stocks like this that are actually completing legitimate projects, which is why I added it to my portfolio.
At today’s close the market cap is only about $1 million. When these guys get proactive and start building interest for it, this low float is going to provide a fast/powerful gain imo... or even if a group finds it and decides to start positioning, which is very possible at this valuation.
I am averaged higher than this. I’ve been trying to buy at .011 for awhile, but only got like 27,000, which is a partial... Today’s PR actually showed up on OTC markets which makes me happy, most of them are not. He has wasted some good PR’s during a hot crypto market, because nobody saw them, hence the low market cap.
A skilled penny CEO would have this thousands of percent higher right now imo. He needs to learn how to generate interest like a pro, or hire one

Daily chart: The DESPERATION for cheap shares is reaching record levels. Bidders will have to move up to get them before the big breakout... Glad i dont have to hope for sellers, cause there has been barely any Bid whacking since last Tuesdays PR.
Once traders see this chart, they will be slamming... and the HUGE upcoming events are going to draw their eyes to it, noooooo doubt... Last to figure it pays the most for their entry. I like to do PROPER DD and buy EARLY...
If this CEO gets off his ass and hires someone that knows how to release a PR properly, we could see 1000% here fast, which would still only be a $10 million cap = Cheap for a CLEAN crypto. Some DD for you: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=149905093
There is no potential for any major near term dilution, because there is so little debt on the books... and any new issuances would be restricted. Most of the OS is averaged over .35: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151249680
These guys have about as much revs as the market cap and involved with multiple exciting projects for Crypto, Blockchain, Artificial Intel and Augmented Reality. These are all popular future sectors.
IMO we will see a nice gain from these levels, but i cant say when.
FYI, most of the PRs are hard to find, which is why it is so cheap. They have been releasing news wrong, but if you start here and click "next" you can read through a bunch of them over the past year: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=150451371
Why does it matter? The same crap was claimed about Midtown and Tempe and now both are kicking ass.
... and besides, this new location in not the biggest event. It is only ONE initiative out of dozens. These high margin games are equivalent to MANY locations.
(repost) FUNN could have zero revs, millions in losses and this SINGLE high margin self published title can make this a fairly valued $XXX,XXX,XXX company, using common valuation metrics.
Multiple table gaming titles are doing $50++ million each year now and only $5 million net profits is .01 EPS... IMO this growth rate could send this to $1.00, just like other high margin rapid growth stocks. They are given a higher PE that they can grow into over time.
Buying and holding ANY of these penny stocks is a gamble, but the DD around this self published title, along with the position they are in to get it into mass retailers via their already established distribution/connections, indicates that this is as good a gamble as any penny stock trading for under $100 million.
___________
(repost) Do you realize that THOUSANDS of Starbucks locations have opened months later than they initially projected?... and they dont even have a full kitchen, bar and are a fraction of the size.
When it comes to dealing with things that you CANNOT predict, because you depend on other entities like contractors, inspectors, local gov, etc there will OFTEN be delays. This is why i have warned in the past that people should not look at these opening "projections" as if they are a surety. Delays are common...
.. but regardless, this location is not needed for this stock to make us a lot of freakin $$$. Based on common equity valuation math, this high margin game launch can make this a $1.00 stock.
$5,000,000 net profit is .01 EPS and it is not out of the ordinary for a RAPID growth stock with a red hot concept to maintain a 100 PE...
... but the potential to make MUCH more than $5,000,000 net profit exists, from just the publishing division, esp since we will have multiple high margin SKUs. We could see multi pennies per share profit in the not too distant future.
... but then again, we wont even need ANY profit to see higher levels. Penny stocks run based on SPECULATON more so than actual results... We just need the company to paint a very clear picture on the potential and we will see a nice and steady uptrend heading into the new year.
Anyone with market savvy knows im right. Penny stocks wth NOTHING run to $XXX,XXX,XXX caps all the time, why cant this PROVEN red hot concept with $XX,XXX,XXX revs... and these revs are BEFORE the high margin SKUs start adding to the total!
People wouldn't be glued to this ticker 24/7/365 if they did not see the potential. Early Saturday morning FUNN is already busy busy busy and i bet Sunday will be no different. lol

(CNBC video) 'Exploding Kittens' Card Game Blows Up Into A Fortune | Strange Success
Snakes has locked down exclusivity for this game in Canada. It only did $50,000,000 in the 1st year, in the USA... and this was not even the best selling title that year...
He has been reporting revenue for YEARS. lol...How can this much $$$ be available to be paid in salaries? THINK ABOUT IT
AGAIN, i am talking about HIS records. This mental case is not doing things right. These filings are a freakin joke.
This is the 10K for 2018 and there are no footnotes detailing how/where this revenue is coming from. There is nothing of substance and its not a shell as he claims. He is reporting $XX,XXX revs, which is more than many operating pennies... Zero operating expenses over an entire year, while reporting $29K revs? lol
https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=13145377&guid=rk4SUFjYHsU2Cth
That is false... He has controlled this company since 2012, it is HIS records that he does not have.
If only every dirty penny stock could just pretend that records dont matter. They would all be passing audits. Its would be so easy to just put "0" in each line and poof = easy audit. lol
He has reported small amounts of revenue, which means he was running some type of a business (not a shell)... and it looks like he announced a merger (yesterday) with a company (his own) that was already part of the company for a long time.
Patrick, where is your revenue coming from? Is it your CBD sales?.. If so, why did you put out a merger 8K yesterday if it was already part of the company?
Still very minimal Bid whacking as the price increased. We are trading stronger than i have seen in a looong time... Staging for a big move imo. Several powerful events coming SOON.
If anyone thinks its exciting to see these Kickstarter backers reviewing the product positively, they are gonna LOVE seeing the products on the shelves + reviews all over the internet.
Remember, it took almost 2 years for these Kickstarter backers to get their product and they were REALLY pissed about it, per many comments online. Then FUNN/Snakes (the hero) stepped in and saved Morning + the backers from a total loss... These backers have EVERY REASON TO BE UPSET, but now they are giving this game great reviews???
If these board game Geeks/Gurus think the game is great, what will the future buyers think about the game when they have no negative history with it?
This is simple DD, but i dont think many are comprehending how massive of a clue it is. We pretty much already know that the game will be liked and have a chance to load before the rest of the market figures it out... Hot titles are doing $50+ million in the first year and this is going to drive speculation.
Snakes will be pushing this high margin self published title to thousands of customers per week (maybe each day), which means they will learn it easily and have a chance to buy before they leave, possibly with a promotion...
... and future investors that buy a game will likely enjoy it, driving their speculation...
We will see all time highs long before we see $5+ million revs from these games imo. Speculation is what drives the penny market, actual results are a bonus

Another FUNN game that’s about to hit the largest retailer: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Red-Panda-Card-Game-Exclusively-Sold-on-Walmart-com/979543007
Very soon the first deliveries will reach the stores and this stock is going to launch off these levels, from the biggest PR/event in company history...
Remember, all the previous distribution deals were limited to just Canada, a country 1/10 the size of the USA... and none of those deals had margins this high, because they were just distribution deals for other companies, not their own titles. This release is a #gamechanger
____________
Really, you dont think Snakes knows which games do well and which ones do not? Most publishers are nothing more than a game, Snakes is game cafe FIRST, which is the ultimate advantage. none of the these competitors have first hand experience with consumer demand/interest like this, which is why some of them turn to Snakes to get known. lol
Toronto is the 4th largest City in North America and guess who is the Big Dog with THOUSANDS of customers per WEEK, maybe per DAY? This game could go viral, using Toronto as a launching pad
Roger has made mistakes, i have no problem pointing that out, but lets not confuse the highly skilled people working at Snakes (250 employees) with his mistakes. You dont land Walmart before the game is even produced unless you can SELL... and SALES IS EVERYTHING!
1000's of customers per day can become thousands of strong reviews all over the internet, thanks to learning the game EASILY within these Snakes locations.... and so far most, if not all the KS reviews have been positive, even though these customers were upset over how long it took them to get it. If THESE customers are liking the game, when they have every reason to be pissed, it says A LOT!.
We will sell a ton just because of the theme imo. The hardest part is getting on the shelf of the largest retailers (check!). No doubt it will get picked up/spotted by MANY people now, due to millions of people walking by the packaging/theme
More DD: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151611247

This cap is getting really cheap imo, the single-game can make this an $XXX,XXX,XXX stock.
They are in the perfect position to push this game into retailers, then get it known by thousands of people per week.
Any day now the biggest PR in company history will be released. If anybody has held this long it would be unsavvy to sell now, at these levels. Walmart is going to drive a significant wave of hype. When we can all walk in and see a self published title on the shelves, across the USA, it will change the way people view this company. Right now Snakes only distributes games in Canada and none of them are a high margin self published title
This will be the first game that we can sell worldwide... and two more titles are coming up right behind it
#gamechanger
______________
Morning does not need to update anyone on the shipments anymore, because the backers have already received their orders.
Morning is not in charge of corporate info, other than what directly relates to Kickstarter. KS backers have nothing to do with Walmart, etc... The next update will be from FUNN and will likely announce the rollout to Wally, Amazon, etc
I expect several big name retailers to be announced in the coming months, all over the world
This next shipment might be drop-shipped at Walmart.
_____________
BTW, FUNN will see $$$ from these titles for years. Dont put too much focus on having to have the game out by a certain date, these games sell alllll year... and when you can market to THOUSANDS of people PER DAY via your locations, they are in a great position to succeed.
I FULLY expect this game to make FUNN extremely NET profitable, even with just moderate sales. They are close to breakeven now imo
I just hope Roger does more to paint this picture for the maket, so we can sustain over inflated levels (like other rapid growth stocks), instead of at the bottom of the valuation range.
____________
If people have held this long, they would be wise to at least wait until this board is full of KTU pictures, on the shelves of the LARGEST retailer, who controls 50%+ of the toy market = very busy toy/game isles!
Millions of people will be walking by our title... CRAP titles can sell well with this level of foot traffic and KTU has a popular theme + attractive/attention grabbing packaging, within the right impulse price range
Walmart will sell out of the first order FAST imo. I bet single longs clear out locations, forcing an instant reorder. lol
This stock will be flying on the reorder PR. Speculation could reach record levels... tick tock...
__________________
(repost) There's an initial risk in printing these games and not selling them, but this risk is reduced significantly when you are a MASTER DISTRIBUTOR of many other hot titles.
Its harder for a small publisher to approach a company like Walmart, with no sales history or other products, which can be worked into the deal to get it done... this is why publishers seek out distributors/sales rep to move their games, which Snakes already is...
... and distributors carry MANY titles, often thousands of different games... just because you land a distributor, does not mean they will put PRIORITY in pushing your titles to the retailers. The reps will have many other titles/toys/SKUs that are making THEM money and they focus on those. You can only talk about so many games in a session.
This is where the synergy of being a publisher, master distributor AND Game Cafe (free/profitable marketing) all tie into each other... Snakes can put priority on their OWN games and push them into Walmart, Target, etc increasing volume fast.
Snakes already has sales history with Walmart.... and the largest Canadian book chain (Chapters)... and other big Canadian retailers that sell games. Snakes is on pace to OWN Canadas gaming market. Look at how many Kickstarter publishers choose Snakes now.
I love synergistic business concepts!
_______________
(repost) Morning is a creative think tank/publisher. This is why its such an powerful acquisition for this particular company. Snakes fills in everything else they need to get these products into the hands of the masses.
Snakes even offers them a place they can play test their games with a very experienced/large gaming staff + real world customers. IMO there will be no weak games in the future. Their titles will grow in strength as Steve starts adding his EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED input on game mechanics, rule alterations, how to write precise/easy instructions, etc. Steve is a grand master at this stuff, watch his videos, listen to the podcasts, read his articles, etc. He trains all the other staff on HOW to teach games and even edits rules to make them easier for customers to learn. He is a major asset alone, esp when combined with a game publisher.
___________________
(repost) How many publishers have distribution and game cafes?
There are a lot of GREAT games that never get noticed. EVERYTHING is about getting noticed nowadays... Weak games can sell $XX,XXX,XXX just because it was in the store, not because it was good. A customer only needs to buy ONCE
... and is there any better place to get noticed than Game Cafes, with Game Gurus that can direct customers to play the titles they want?
Many customers rely on the Gurus to recommend games and teach them... and if people EASILY learn a game and enjoy it, the odd increase that they will buy a copy before leaving Snakes, or the next time they see it at Walmart and think "Hey, that was a fun game! My nephew would love to play this with me".. Either way we make $$$
__________________
(repost) All snakes has to do is advertise that all or part of the $8 cover can be applied to one of Mornings games , if they buy before leaving... and this is off the FULL retail price, which means they would still collect more than if they sold at wholesale
This would not only get people interested in TRYING the games while in Snakes, it would also drive per location sales. Snakes cuts out the middleman, so they would STILL make a strong profit per copy at a sexy discount price...
... and most of these customers that buy one of these copies will take it home and play with others, because most games cant be played alone. This markets the game to additional people, who then might buy a copy when they see it at the store, on Amazon, etc.
This is why the sector is booming right now. People want to do things that are more social, away from their digital devices. This viral sales process is powerful and can push a game from nothing to $10's of millions, in just months.
... and all we need is ONE of these titles to be big... or all of them to do moderately well...
______________
As ive been saying for months, the current revenues, net profits, etc are nothing compared to whats coming from their self publishing division, alone
No need to overthink it, just do the simple DD. They are going to push these titles hard and no other aspect of the biz will have higher margins.
AMFE could have ZERO revenue right now and a SINGLE game could make this a fairly valued $XXX,XXX,XXX company. The growth potential is not only massive, it can happen FAST.
_______________
The Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations have been hosting game designer nights for quite some time now and with being so deeply entrenched in the table top gaming community, it has begged the question internally for many months now as to when the company will begin entering the game publishing arena and bring new titles to market in-house. Snakes & Lattes is currently positioned to manage all stages of new projects beginning from inception to product launch, and will use its current resources for research and development, product testing, marketing, and of course sales and worldwide distribution. This move would bring a far greater ROI when compared to the ROI on the current game titles that we stock and distribute, essentially 'cutting out the middleman' and allowing us to stock and distribute larger volumes and further expand into additional markets internationally.
The current costs associated with stocking game inventory is comparable to the costs to print and manufacture our own game titles, which would not only provide larger volumes for the same price, but also immediate worldwide exclusive distribution rights. We will use our retail locations as 'proving grounds' for new game titles prior to publishing in order to determine which titles will generate the highest demand. This will of course be in addition to maintaining and growing our current sheet of exclusive distributorships from other popular game producers.
The company is currently working on acquiring the rights to publish our first game to kick-off our publishing division. The first game under this initiative is currently in the works and will be developed in conjunction with an experienced game author based in Switzerland. The specifics of the game are still a closely guarded secret so no further details relating to the game will be released at this time to protect the intellectual property. We will provide further details relating to the project when appropriate to do so, likely coinciding with the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto this August, where Snakes & Lattes will be hosting a board game café and retail store in partnership with CAH and other major publishers.
Capturing world-wide distribution as well as maximum margins from production to sale leaves the company better positioned to expand all aspects of the business, and significantly increase the rate at which retail store and gaming café locations are opened. With the new Midtown Toronto location being the third and largest location, set to open this summer and boasting an impressive 2 stories, 55 tables inside and 5 tables out on the patio all the while accommodating up to 340 customers, the company has its eyes set on the immediate expansion across Canada and the United States.
The newly formed publishing division in addition to the successful retail and distribution divisions, is expected to significantly increase profitability at a minimal start-up cost by utilizing the company's existing assets, resources, and market reach. In terms of the company's expansion, this is the most cost effective and logical step towards the company's intent on complete market domination by continuing to execute on its successful business model which has been proven year over year.

Pic of the playtesting arena for Unicorns: This is where most of the positive online reviews were derived...
This was at a trade show. The game is tested and enjoyed... IMO this game should spike revs/profits fast...
Looks like 3 tables were for IKAN, which is another title that is close to print...
How convenient to make this claim right after i mentioned how you dont have $$$ for an accountant, etc... You are acting like a scammer
I highly doubt you JUST found someone, in between posts. lol
No one is merging with this DIRTY shell... Its not clean until they have clean filings. You cant trust ANY of the data he provided. lol
No one will merge with something that does not have clear and accurate records... and he does not have the ability/cash to clean them up
He GUESSED at the details in the filings... and the formats are entirely wrong.
No one with any savvy would merge with this and once someone actually meets him, they will run away.
There are thousands of other shells that are waiting for a merger. Many of them are held by people that know what they are doing, like Lazar.
Cant build a company around an ungagged TA...
Are people really taking this company seriously? This is Patricks entertainment, thats it. No one can take this ticker seriously with a $7,500 funding GOAL, which is supposed to be enough to last him to the end of 2020... although he did say he would dilute up to 500 million as a "poison pill".
There is no way his RELABEL product competes with the hundreds of other CBD companies that have raised millions, have better packaging, have skilled insiders, etc... and most of these CBD companies are still failing.
His business plan is to sell on the street, per the last 8K... and he is disabled and on very heavy drugs, per his own claims.
This guy isn't building anything, so i hope people are wise and not betting the farm here. The odds are so heavily against him.
Even if the audit is missed, which i doubt, i bet we move higher with these games about to hit the shelves of the largest retailers.
If anyone thinks its exciting to see these Kickstarter backers reviewing the product positively, they are gonna LOVE seeing the products on the shelves + reviews all over the internet.

Snakes & Lattes is currently positioned to manage all stages of new projects beginning from inception to product launch, and will use its current resources for research and development, product testing, marketing, and of course sales and worldwide distribution. This move would bring a far greater ROI when compared to the ROI on the current game titles that we stock and distribute, essentially 'cutting out the middleman' and allowing us to stock and distribute larger volumes and further expand into additional markets internationally.
The current costs associated with stocking game inventory is comparable to the costs to print and manufacture our own game titles, which would not only provide larger volumes for the same price, but also immediate worldwide exclusive distribution rights. We will use our retail locations as 'proving grounds' for new game titles prior to publishing in order to determine which titles will generate the highest demand. This will of course be in addition to maintaining and growing our current sheet of exclusive distributorships from other popular game producers.
The company is currently working on acquiring the rights to publish our first game to kick-off our publishing division. The first game under this initiative is currently in the works and will be developed in conjunction with an experienced game author based in Switzerland. The specifics of the game are still a closely guarded secret so no further details relating to the game will be released at this time to protect the intellectual property. We will provide further details relating to the project when appropriate to do so, likely coinciding with the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto this August, where Snakes & Lattes will be hosting a board game café and retail store in partnership with CAH and other major publishers.
Capturing world-wide distribution as well as maximum margins from production to sale leaves the company better positioned to expand all aspects of the business, and significantly increase the rate at which retail store and gaming café locations are opened. With the new Midtown Toronto location being the third and largest location, set to open this summer and boasting an impressive 2 stories, 55 tables inside and 5 tables out on the patio all the while accommodating up to 340 customers, the company has its eyes set on the immediate expansion across Canada and the United States.
The newly formed publishing division in addition to the successful retail and distribution divisions, is expected to significantly increase profitability at a minimal start-up cost by utilizing the company's existing assets, resources, and market reach. In terms of the company's expansion, this is the most cost effective and logical step towards the company's intent on complete market domination by continuing to execute on its successful business model which has been proven year over year.

Pic of the playtesting arena for Unicorns: This is where most of the positive online reviews were derived...
This was at a trade show. The game is tested and enjoyed... IMO this game should spike revs/profits fast...
Looks like 3 tables were for IKAN, which is another title that is close to print...
Why would someone buy a shell with blatantly misleading filings? You cant trust ANY of the info here without an audit, which CANT take place with these filings
There was merger news this AM. He merged his 2 companies. If you can call them that.
BTW, looks like someone is removing info from the IBOX again. Not sure if this is intended.
Ask the CEO about the many HEAVY drugs he is on (opiates, etc). Im serious, he might avoid the topic, but he wont deny it. Who wants to merge with this...
"...GOD HAS SPOKEN TO ME Please, no judgement. I am crazy. I am very CRAZY!
ACCR SHAREHOLDERS, I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!!!!!! I have a new PRINCE of the United Arab Emirates as my friend on LINKEDIN!!!!!!! A PRINCE! Unless someone can see his/her name which I am pretty sure no one can.
Quit PMing and calling me Scott. I have no idea who that it.
Why dont you go out and SELL on the street, per your business plan. All you do is post and PM all day... Judging by the amount of PMs you have sent me today, i can only imagine that you are doing the same to others.
Are you the CEO or a pumper?
Daily Chart: HOD falling. Buyers are moving up and taking out the Ask now. Might see a powerful close, which would signal a MAJOR long term technical shift.
Look at how many times the price has failed to break this line. This could draw a lot of TA players into the stock, but they need to FIND IT... So longs feel free to pass this chart around.
News will also draw eyes to this long term bottom/reversal chart.. and MASSIVE news is coming. The biggest in their history, other than acquiring Snakes.
But supposedly there is a 200+ million short, per the CEO... he has even put this claim in the filings
So is he lying/misleading the public, or is there hundreds of millions of tradable shares out there?
My money is on him misleading the public, like he is doing with other aspects.
Either way i would not trust a thing he is claiming, unless it is audited.
