The area of your game board is = 126 * 90 = 11340 cm^2;
A small suares has x^2 his area; where x measure his length;

Prime factorization

11340 | 2
 5670 | 2
 2835 | 5
  567  | 3
  189 | 3
    63 | 3
    21 | 3
      7 | 7
      1

11340 = 2^2 * 3^4 * 5 * 7 = 2^2 * ( 3^2 ) ^ 2 * 5 * 7 = 18^2 * 5 * 7

We observ that the possible length of the side is 18( we have 35 small squares ).
