Explanation:
"In the store, a game of checkers sits on a table accompanied by an apple-wood stump stool."
This goes nicely with the question as checkers is a game of strategy, and compared to other games is meaningful, however, the fact that it is accompanied by an apple-wood stump stool emphasizes the simplicity of the setting. Instead of a elaborate chairs to sit on, we are given a mere wood stump. The stump is all that remains after cutting down a tree. It doesn't cost to buy a "stump" and it's something that can be used without having to go through the troubles of making an actual chair.
Here we see that the importance lies in the game rather than the furniture or decorations. It's a simple piece to sit on, but it does the job.
