A lot of cultures have invented their own board games to pass the time, for example in South Africa we have Morabaraba. Start a business creating and marketing these board games.
Process
There are various formats the game can take, it can be as simple as a one colour screen-print on ABS plastic such as the Morabaraba board seen above, or you can have it professionally printed on cardboard. You can also package it in a printed book format and if you really want to take it global you can create a mobile app.
