To produce a song you need: a band. A recording engineer. (and possibly a song-writer). That will let you produce something on the scale of "Thriller" or :Like a Rolling Stone" or "Hey Jude". To produce a game the scale of Halo you need significantly more people. Hundreds. To produce a game like chess - you need 1 person with a good idea. Lets be honest - the difficult part of creating any boardgame is in the idea. A song (or a video game) has an awful lot to do with the implementation. To promote each artform, you need similar skills - so I'm ignoring that process.
