Game almost finished. How to get it published?

[CB Droege]

I own the rights to a card game, and have been working with a developer to get it playable on BGA. It's almost done now, and I'd like to see it make its way onto the main site.

I've tried e-mailing the site owners multiple times, but I've never gotten a response. So, what's the next step? How do I try to get the game published on BGA?

Thanks.

The game looks fine and it'd be a pleasure to play it!
Admins will answer you but I just played the game and here is what you should really fix before they see the game:
- Add a game icon, cover, publisher logo
- Force playing exactly with 2 players (right now 1 to 4 is allowed)
- Add tooltips to explain the card effects
- Optional: order cards during the build phase (the draft)
- Reduce the optimal width of the board: it should be playable with a 1024 pixel wide screen, right now it's 1200px. If you could go as far as ~700px, it'd be playable on most mobile devices! Maybe turn the cards in portrait mode, and rotate the card effect?
- Add logs (you below the player panels). It's really necessary so players can understand what happened, and so players who didn't pay attention to their screen for 1 second can review what happened.
- Fix the end game error message for the player who lost: Server syntax error: SyntaxError: Unexpected string string(13) "Ending game 2"
{"status":1,"data":{"valid":1,"data":null}}
- Add game statistics (the ones that are shown after the game ends when you leave the table display, below the scores and ELO gains/losses)
- Optional: Make sure zombie players do play. I didn't check if they worked. It's nice when you can end a game even if your opponent left the table. Not as necessary in a 2 player game as it might in a 5 player one, but still it should at least not crash ^^

Each turn I was forced to add the 4 activation tokens. It can't be right but last time I read the rules was ages ago so I must have missed something.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Pikiou,

Thanks so much for your advice. I want to ask one thing: I measured the width of the game and it seems to be about 950 px when all the cards are laid out. If you measure 1200px I want to fix it, but I don't measure that... where do you see it?

You're welcome!
I may have taken into account the player panels: 950 + 240 (player panels) ~= 1200. Nowadays player panels are moved at the top when the screen isn't wide enough.
