Exploding Kittens (similar style card game/art) did $50+ million in the first year, mostly in the USA. Then later expanded out of the USA and has sold $XXX,XXX,XXX... and Snakes/FUNN landed exclusivity in Canada.

Kill The Unicorns has just as much potential, if not more because of the Snakes & Lattes Advantage (thousands of TARGETED consumers per DAY) + being sold worldwide from day 1...

... and the margins will be stronger than any of the other titles they distribute, because Snakes is the middleman as well... They can run attractive promos to TARGETED consumers (at retail) to move quantity and STILL make a heavy profit...

(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 often, which many of these customer jump on = more $$$

USA Amazon site: https://www.amazon.com/Cards-Against-Humanity-LLC-CAHUS/dp/B004S8F7QM

Canadian site (AMFE fulfills this account): https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_6?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cards+against+humanity&sprefix=cards+%2Caps%2C1205&crid=2M9IPA552CXH8

-----------------
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...

Snakes DD: And why is Snakes being selected for all of these "exclusive" deals within this Billion+ dollar North American sector?

Many of the hottest new games are coming from smaller/Kickstarter funded companies now. They dont have the distribution capability, customer service, contacts, etc like a Hasbo... and many of these sector rookies turn to Jamey Stegmaier for advice, whom ranks Snakes #1 in Canada (see below)... hence EXCLUSIVITY! There is no need for them to deal with any of these other BORING distributors... Snakes is the COOL kid on the block with game cafes! They hold developer night and people from all over come to showcase/test their games under the Snakes Banner.

Recently, BlogTO.com named the Snakes & Lattes College location the best late night café in Toronto. Further news included fulfillment blogger Jamey Stegmaier with Stonemaier Games, the most influential blogger within the boardgame fulfillment sphere, naming Snakes & Lattes the best fulfillment house in Canada. This coincides with an increase in fulfillment campaigns in 2016, and a projected major increase in 2017. Finally, Snakes & Lattes has partnered with three of the largest fulfillment houses in the United States, these being funagain.com, Gamesalute and CoolStuffInc. Snakes & Lattes will soon be in a position to fulfill the Canadian orders from these three houses.
