It started as a world building thing and ended up complete enough to actually play. It's a bit like chess but with tiles placed to make the field and a pog like betting system. Everyone I've shown it to tells me I need to publish it, but I have no idea how. Any one here have suggestions?

I've got some friends that made a board game. They self funded making a small run and they sell them at gaming conventions. It's going well but probably won't take off into big business. Lots of luck involved in being "discovered". Maybe send a copy to some game review youtube channels?
