Hens from a GameXBrown Leghorn cross will get you a hen very much like a "game" hen, with a presentable rate of lay.
Consider making a first generation cross (F1) between a game chicken and a breed that lays as you like. My American Dominique x American Games can produce >200 eggs in first year of lay which is comparable to pure American Dominiques.
Sounds like a great idea for someone with a larger farm. Our landlady won't even let us have a rooster, so I'm not in the breeding game until we can afford to buy our own land. Even then, most hatcheries don't seem to sell any game breeds besides OEG. Would that suffice? I don't know what that breed's temperament is like.
