I’ve never heard of this game. And, now I am extremely intrigued and just started to search the Internet to learn how to play (and thanks for the online play link). So, the fact that I am already looking to add playing this game to my already busy schedule, that’s a good sign that you are on to something. Moreover, your narrative is engaging and drawing the reader into your enthusiasm. Go get ‘em!
I can find no evidence on the Internet but I thought that backgammon and bridge author Danny Kleinman had written an Oh Hell book back when he was self-publishing in the 70s and 80s. I never played the game but I had a friend who did.
When I was a boy my grandfather introduced me to this wonderful game. How fun, how cruel, how beautiful it is! Would love to read this if you get it done.
This is a *genius* idea! Your writing style is very engaging and seems uniquely suited to a game that is diabolically addictive. I *greatly* look forward to a published copy! Love the cover art too!!

Thanks for the tip --- I will try to track it down!
Good luck. I can't promise that there isn't some Mandela Effect stuff going on here.
