To find the side length of a square game board with an area of 173 square inches, you can use the formula for the area of a square:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]

Let \( s \) be the side length of the square. Then, we have:

\[
s^2 = 173
\]

To find \( s \), take the square root of both sides:

\[
s = \sqrt{173}
\]

Calculating the square root of 173:

\[
s \approx 13.15 \text{ inches}
\]

Thus, the approximate side length of the square game board is about **13.15 inches**.
