Help figuring out camera/hardware requirements

I'm trying to broadcast a play session of a tabletop board game. The play area is about 40" x 70" and I need the entire play area to be broadcast in sufficiently high resolution so as to be able to read the text printed on cards. I can do this using multiple cameras and scenes and transitioning between the scenes at various points, but I'm inexperienced with OBS and really just film / video in general, so I'm not sure what kind of equipment I need.

I have a Logitech Brio Ultra 4k HD webcam that I bought for testing, and I can't get it to record larger than a roughly 8" x 8" area in sufficiently high resolution and focus that cards are legible, which I don't think is going to work as I would need way too many cameras. This is with the camera about 1 ft away from the board. I was hoping to be able to get this done with a max of 4-5 cameras.

Interested in hearing any suggestions people might have.
