the idea of a board game wouldnt be that hard to implement depending on the type of game your looking to make. though i dont know of any tutorials. the hardest part would be the computer ai and decision making. the basic things you would need are a way to increment the turns of the players, a way to move the pieces, and a win condition. for the changing turns you could just have a ui button for end turn which would run a custom event in the game mode to switch the active player. for the movement you could use a button that “rolls a dice” and moves the pawn via a ai move to. win objective is dependent on your game. while writing this i had a monopoly type game in mind.

if you are really new then it could be a bit much for you. take it slow and divide each system into small parts that are easy to manage and work on.

There are plenty of tutorials of turn based strategy games on youtube, and basically a boardgame is a TBS game,  
try looking up turn based tutorials, and you will find what you need for your project. Mostly 🙂
