The game officially died in my city

This is more of a vent than anything else , I feel mostly disappointed and a bit mad. This is my first card game and I fell in love with it. Our player count used to be around 12 , now it's just me and a friend left.

So I took it upon myself to try to "revive" it but to no avail. I organised a learn to play event with our local game store , I provided decks which I customly made to be thematic yet fun to play. Each one with a different play style (bounties, smuggle, exploit,coordinate etc).

I told my lgs to make sure that the event is advertised as free to entry AND you keep the deck. To my surprise 9 new players came! I was so excited, the players seemed really excited and they played for 5 hours straight! They seemed to like it a lot. Some of them were even harcode fans , they loved some of the reference in the decks (like an obi wan deck with "I have the high ground " and "hello there ").

Unfortunately they never showed up again , one of the younger players did come back just to demand another deck and the moment he heard that there aren't any he just vanished. He didn't even care to play with us...

I don't know what else to do , I have mostly given up . Anyways, thanks for reading I appreciate it .
