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?

The easiest thing would be to put a bunch of PDFs with the rules, and some printable material (board, pieces, rules, cards... whatever) on itch.io. you can pick a price, set them as pay-what-you-want or just give them away for free.

You could also give away the rules for free and sell the printables if you have made nice designs.

Whatever you do, please update your post with the link ;)

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
