Hi,
I am new here; I was originally more interested in computer games development but recently decide to try out boardgames, and eventually I had 13 of them within a year and I tried to design one. The first one bombed, the second one I feel had potential...
Right now I got a prototype of the game and still testing/refining the rules, but I am wondering how do I get it published. How is the boardgame publishing like? I know for computer games it's a "Don't call us; we call you" mindset, that publishers prefer to follow trends, stick to franchise and there's a higher barrier of entry. How is like for the boardgame's side?
At the same time, I have advice to conduct blind-tests and send prototypes to reviews. Do I need to get legal protection for my IP at this time?
Any advice would be welcomed.
