Intellectual Property Filter] I have an idea for a card/board games. I need help finding resources on two different matters. 1. What do I need to research / what trees should I bark up to figure out the best way to bring the game to fruition? 2. How do I ensure the protection of my intellectual property (IP) while I'm navigating a way to create and market/sell said game?

I'm not looking for advice on whether or not it's worth it to design or create a board game.

I *am* looking for information and resources on:
- Methods for independently creating and selling the game myself, as an option
- Companies or third parties who you can pay to "vanity" publish (and perhaps even provide a marketplace to sell) said game, as another option
- Methods for pitching the game to other publishers without going through self-publishing or vanity-publishing, as a third option

As well as:
- How do I protect the IP for this game idea before I'm able to actually finalize its creation and sell it?
- What other legal/regulatory stuff do I need to know about? I'm in North America (US/Canada)
- What are the best resources online for this kind of thing?
- Is there any good info out there on things NOT to do?

Thanks in advance and if there are any follow up questions, I'll try to provide clarifying info as best I can without talking about the game idea itself.
