Hi, Andre.  I do not know of any specialized software for Macintosh 
for the purpose of laying out game boards for print.

As you discovered, Illustrator and Corel are both probably overkill 
for the simple boards you mentioned.  If I were you, I would use the 
Draw function of AppleWorks (formerly ClarisWorks) which probably 
came with your Mac.  It is very intuitive and quite capable.  I use 
it for almost all of my layout work, including game cards, game 
boards, and diagrams for piecepack rulesets (look ma, we're back on 
topic!).
