Congrats and welcome Chelsified!
The dating of items made in Asia is beyond my capabilities. The key might be in the nature of the pieces. Are they molded plastic or some hand carved material?

The pieces are hand carved wood. And the checkers are wood as well. Thank you for your help

Great!
That drives your stock up significantly. It also leads the way to repair the damaged board. There are a few supply houses around that sell all kinds of veneer. You'll have to get a woodworker to ID it first, or take a long shot from the product photos.
Good luck!
