Chess is easily the most expensive board game of all time. Sure, you can buy a cheap plastic set for a couple of dollars, but there appears to be a huge market for high-end chess boards that cost thousands. I say "appears" because I've never actually seen anyone purchase these sets, but I see ads all the time. I need to join a Chess Piece Club or something, where you get five free chess pieces if you buy four more over the next two years. Every month, they send you two featured selections -- say, a knight and a pawn -- and you can either pony up the money and keep them or pony up the money to ship them back. Sign up now, get a rook absolutely free. To pay for all this, and get rich, I think I'm going to start up clubs for other sorts of games. Obviously these high-end chess piece manufacturers are missing out on obvious money making enterprises, and I will cash in on their obliviousness. Yes, it is time to introduce to the world hundred dollar Yahtzee dice.
