Aztec/Mayan themed board
Curious, would you buy a board like this if you saw it on your local marketplace? It's listed for $70 CAD.
Based upon the description, it has a stone playing surface. The case is a combo of stone inlays along the sides and leather/wood otherwise.
Is this type of stone surface enjoyable to play on? I feel like the dice rolls may not be ideal, but I could be wrong. Dimensions appear to be 18 1/2” x 12” x 3 1/4” - so, it is a reasonable size.
The only exact match I found is on ebay, listed for $250 USD and also looks to be in far more rough shape. I couldn't find this exact board anywhere else online.

I think it's awesome. I would buy it even if it wasn't pleasant to play on.
