Each player will need their own multi-board unless you are willing to mess around with localized board values (might cause a de-synchronization?).

You can use GetLocalPlayer to hide and show boards locally as board visibility does not affect synchronized game state.
Player name string can be returned from a player. Use it to fill the name cell for the appropriate player's board.
Level and item header cells get set to a string constant.
Each item is then filled in by your item system. I would create some kind of interface that the item system uses to avoid unnecessary coupling of the boards into the item system. These calls should be made whenever equipment state changes.
