Josh Derrig, an avid board game player from Ohio, has invested over $30,000 in furniture specifically for playing board games, including a $10,000 10-seat Prophecy gaming table. Despite the hefty price tag, Mr. Derrig and his family use the table daily for not only gaming but also for family dinners and gatherings. The increasing popularity of board games among casual players has led to a surge in sales of custom furniture and accessories, with some dedicated players willing to spend large amounts for the convenience and functionality these pieces offer. The tables often come with removable tops for storing ongoing games, making them practical for everyday use. For Mr. Derrig, these investments are akin to purchasing high-quality furniture for the home, allowing his family to enjoy their extensive collection of games without needing a dedicated game room.
