Short Answer...
Combination of kiosks (computers) with long-range networking and short-range networking/RFID/bar code.
-2 computers
-Built in ethernet and wi-fi capability
~$1000 (2 x $500 USD) (Or just use existing computing resources!)
-RFID reader/tag combination

$70 dollars for kit (with 6 RFID discs)
More tags cost between 1 and 2 dollars each in small-quantity orders.
Now, if we want to get fancy, we can turn every single simple RFID-enabled piece into a PocketPc, substituting Bluetooth for WiFi and adding 200 dollars per piece in our puzzle... But not for now. :)
