How can I make known my newly invented card game?

I invented a new card game. Its name is “Rotofo.” I have typed out all the instructions on paper. But how can I make my card game known so that people would play it?

About Me
Well the first thing you can do, and this may seem like an obvious thing but, test it. Play it with a friend or two, see if you guys enjoy it, if you do move on, if you don’t I wouldn’t expect many other people to so go back to the drawing board.
Secondly word of mouth is a great way to spread a game, tell a friend, have them tell a friend, and so on and so fourth, you wouldn’t believe how fast some things can spread.
If you are truly serious about spreading your game outside of your local area/play and are confident in it, post it on a forum or two, host a party or game with it locally to make sure no one forgets it, make a website, and most importantly just put your game out there whenever possible, and gauge peoples reactions. Don’t be afraid to take criticism, someone may have the idea to turn your game from poor/good to amazing, use it!
And last, just have fun with it! The liklihood that your game will spread very far? Slim to none. However you can and (if you made a somewhat decent game) enjoy it locally with friends, family, etc. and as long as someones getting fun out of it I’d say it’s fullfilling it’s use as a game wouldn’t you?
Best of luck and hope that helped.

Put it on youtube, blog and forums. It’ll be known at no time.
hold up a tourement in the tournement you should sell decks or cards to get more people put up fliers so people can come so those people ca spraed it around and so it will becomemore popular soon you should tell your friends to set up tourements by them and keep expanding tell you r friends they should put it up on youtube too.
I know how you feel. I even asked on this site who wanted to learn my trading card game (playable online) and got it taken down and lost 10 points. However, uploading it to youtube doesn’t really help. Even with popular tags, someone made a final fantasy trading card game 2 years ago and it only has 5 comments with less than 3200 views. And Final Fantasy is popular. My tcg has only been up on youtube for 3 months and did not even get 200 views let alone a single comment.
Anyway if you need someone to try it out, just contact me, especially if you can play it online. We can help each other out by playing each other’s tcgs you know. It’s just rough but I suggest to help you balance things, play it solitaire style. It takes longer because you know the game very well (don’t know how quick the learning curve is for someone who doesn’t know) plus you’re not as aware of overpowered cards (since you’re playing both decks), but you’ll learn eventually.
I know I had to edit a lot of things, most of which by playing my tcg solitaire style. Anyway, contact me and I can try out your tcg.
