Thoughts on a board game accessory?

So I was playing Ticket to Ride with the family this weekend and I thought about an idea that would improve the playing experience. It seems like every time we play, people are always trying to sit at the table where the board game faces them as it's easier to play that way. I thought that it would be cool if they had a board game lazy susan to where the board can face each player when it is their turn. This could even work well for other games like Risk or even someone who plays chess against themselves.
I looked online and was surprised to see this wasn't a thing. Not even on etsy. They have something very similar marketed to jigsaw puzzles but not board games, and that one is $130 on Amazon.
I feel like this would be really easy to make, and I'm going to give it a try this weekend. All I need is a sheet of plywood, swivel, and probably some felt to glue to the top.
I'm curious if this is something people would be interested in. What are your thoughts?

I'm genuinely not trying to be sarcastic when I ask: what's the difference between a square, or octagonal, lazy susan and one for game boards?

And if your game board is particularly large or oddly shaped, I imagine you could brace it underneath with something like cardboard that was cut to match.
But if I'm missing something that you're talking about, let me know. Certainly not looking to frick with your creativity, or your business

Well, you're right. I guess I'm a bad researcher
. It looks like a rectangular one is what I'm thinking about and that definitely shows up in your search. Although, I think this is something that could be mass produced for cheap and sold in the game section in stores next to the board games. None of them are actually marketed towards game boards specifically, and that scrabble one looked like it was a swivel scrabble board. I also thought about one that has leafs that attach to it that would start small and have the ability to attach larger sides to fit the larger games. This would also help in storage.
Maybe I'm just overthinking this. Thought it would be a cool idea
