Considering that each state has different sales tax rates, the final cost of the board game will vary depending on the state you are visiting. To calculate the final cost including sales tax, it is necessary to know the specific sales tax rate for each state.

Here are the current sales tax rates for the given states:

- Tennessee: The state sales tax rate in Tennessee is currently 7%.
- Vermont: The state sales tax rate in Vermont is 6%.
- Wisconsin: The state sales tax rate in Wisconsin is 5%.
- Wyoming: There is no sales tax in Wyoming.

To calculate the final cost of the board game, we have to consider the sales tax rate and add that amount to the original price.

If you are visiting Tennessee, the final cost will be between $10.70 and $21.40 ($10 - $20 + 7% sales tax).

If you are visiting Vermont, the final cost will be between $10.60 and $21.20 ($10 - $20 + 6% sales tax).

If you are visiting Wisconsin, the final cost will be between $10.50 and $21 ($10 - $20 + 5% sales tax).

If you are visiting Wyoming, there is no sales tax, so the final cost will just be the original price between $10 and $20.
