I launched a turn taking two player real-time board game in HN 4 years ago, with zero returns so far. It took 3 months to build the web app, another 3 months for android app. But, lots of PR for the stunt. It is still up. 30K game instances so far and 3K players.
Recently I am having thoughts like should I relaunch this ? But won't want to do it without someone to look it as a business. This game feels like Chess but it is quick to learn, setup and finish.

For discoverability you should make the rules accessible front and center on the game page.
I just clicked through and spent a few minutes clicking around ... I couldn't find the rules anywhere without clicking through to Wikipedia.
