As the others have said, the details are not important.

Readers will want to know whether this is a game of skill (chess), of chance (most dice games), or of bluffing (poker). It will probably be all of these, but what is the most important? Characters may disagree. Most beginners believe poker to be a game of chance, while experienced players know that the bluffing aspect is more important.

Make a commercial web site, with a list of your books and how to get them. Put the rules there too.
