	Description:		We look at the global board games industry, estimated to be worth $12bn by 2023. Frederique Tutt is global toys industry analyst for NPD Group, and tells us how rapidly the sector is growing. Nick Curci is co-owner of Draughts board game cafe in London, and discusses how diverse his customer base is. We meet John Yianni, inventor of the insect-based strategy game Hive. And Sumbul Siddiqui, the best female scrabble player in the world in her age group, explains just how seriously the game is taken in some parts of the world. Also in the programme, thousands of Chileans have been protesting for the past two months about the level of inequality in their country. The BBC's Jane Chambers went to the centre of Santiago to find out how local business owners are coping. Plus we hear why kung fu legend Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon is suing Chinese fast-food chain Real Kungfu, alleging it is using a logo without permission.
