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?

Got a friend that makes games. He did a Kickstarter. Got professional artists and teamed up with somebody that knew how to do Kickstarters and had successfully done others. The theming on the game changed to appeal to more people.

So: find people that help launch games like yours and see if anything shakes out with them.

That's actually a pretty achievable idea, I may look into this.
