To calculate the total cost of the board game, we need to add the sales tax to the cost of the game.
Let's assume the cost of the board game is X dollars.
Sales tax in Tennessee is 7%.
So, the sales tax amount on the board game would be 0.07*X dollars.
The total cost of the board game, including sales tax, would be X + 0.07*X = 1.07*X dollars.
Since we don't have the exact cost of the board game, we can't provide an exact total cost. But using the information given, the total cost would be 1.07*X dollars.
