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?

Check out the community at Trovve.co

Also +1 for putting together a digital prototype and testing further such as via Break My Game

Can get a lot of advice on self publishing at those as well as via Cardboard Edison - this one also has a cheap subscription for access to publisher info to filter who is taking submissions etc so you could pitch the game if not interested in self publishing

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!
