Trouble with a hexagonal game board.

Hello first post here, I hope you guys can help me out.
I am currently trying to make a “Settlers of Catan” game board. It is a hexagonal frame filled with 19 smaller hexagons.
I do not wish to use the puzzle interlocks so I simplified the shape and plan to use magnets to hold the whole thing together. I designed the simplified shape in 3D software, and then cut a tester blank out of cheap lumber. I took extra care to transfer every dimension as best as I could, set my saw to 30 degrees and started ripping. I then cross cut the sections and laid them out to see how they fit… As you can tell something went wrong. I tried this before by just free handing traced shapes on the bandsaw and it was close, but I want perfect. Somehow the “more accurate” approach I was trying was much more inaccurate. I am not sure where my mistake is so hopefully another set of eyes can help me figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a game i made called Quarto. the object of the game is to place pieces on the board and form a four in a row line with all four pieces sharing an attribute. The pieces all have a combination of four different attributes, tall or short, square or round, light or dark and solid or hollow top. The catch is your opponent gets to pick which piece you play.
I made the game out of walnut and beech with a birch plywood bottom on the box. the pieces are maple and walnut. finish is just wipe on poly and wax
