Perhaps you're not looking for an explanation as to why people rejected this game, but for the sake of being obvious you can sum it up in one word: immature.

This is soon to be 2012. Your proposition is from a time long since passed probably in the Reagan-Thatcher years, times and attitudes have moved on. It's no longer acceptable to promote this kind of lifestyle, and that's pretty much why "everyone" has rejected this.

You probably will sell out of your 2000 copies, but all I can say is learn why people rejected this and move on. You clearly have some skill, but no humility.

Best of luck with your next project, I hope it's more mature.

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.
